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.
