Thunder R/C Car Racing Info: Thunder
Racing puts on radio control car races across the state of Florida. We
currently hold racing at Marble Park in Manatee County, FL. The
track is for oval electric radio control R/C pan cars. Thunder also
holds indoor carpet races in Largo at the Minnreg building a few times a
year and over Thanksgiving weekend. And once a year, Thunder hosts the
largest event in the world for R/C car racing, the Snowbird Nationals in
Orlando. We also have held several R/C events in Orlando at the
world famous Race Rock restaurant. Back in the '90s we had an indoor
track in Tampa that was high banked. We also have held races at
University Parkway at Hobbie Warehouse in Bradenton, at Franks Trains and
Hobbies in Oldsmar, and at GT Bray Park in Bradenton. R/C car racing
is a wonderful and exciting hobby for all ages. If you are racecar fan
you will enjoy the thrills of this rewarding hobby. Whether you like
the friendships of fellow racers, the mechanical aspect of working on the
cars, the challenging problem solving nature of auto racing, R/C car racing
is for you.

Cup Chase is NOW
Continuing this week at MTR, you will be getting plates that can be added to the nice
colored wall plaque pictured here! The plaques are IN and once you get four weekly race
plates you will get this nice color wall plaque so you can start placing
your awards on them - FOR FREE! The top 3 in A-mains will get the
plates! Win the B-main and you will get a 1st
place plate to add to your plaque! Look for a special award once you
get it all filled (custom MTR shirt, etc). We will have special race
events for only racers making the chase this fall (ones that fill up their
whole plaque). The 'Chase' is not a point series. It is a
rewards program for racing and finishing strong each week. Get those
cars ready!
