CLARKSVILLE, TN – Thunderhill Raceway in Lawrenceburg, TN has signed on with the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series for the 2006 season. With the addition of Thunderhill Raceway, the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series now has three tracks under its sanction for Crate Late Model racing in the Volunteer State.
Thunderhill Raceway now joins Clarksville StormPay Speedway in Clarksville, TN and Duck River Speedway in Wheel, TN as members of the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series where Crate Late Model drivers at weekly tracks can compete with each other for Regional and National points and point fund money under a common set of rules.
Late Model driver Wayne Burns of Tuscumbia, AL recently acquired Thunderhill Raceway, and will promote the ¼-mile high-banked clay oval in 2006. As a racer himself, Burns said he sees the need for the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series, and the economical sealed-at-factory GM Performance Crate Engines.
“With the costs of unlimited late model engines constantly going up, it’s hard for a working man to keep racing week in and week out,” Burns said. “The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series is something weekly late model racing really needs to keep the costs down, and the rules enforced. With the low cost of the GM Performance Crate Engine, I can put three cars on the track for what it cost to put one super late model on the track.”
The StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series features economical engines produced by GM Performance and sealed at factory. The steel-head “602” engine sells for $2,950, and the aluminum-head “604” engine sells for $4,950, with free delivery for either engine. These engines are race-ready right out of the crate from the factory, and are readily available at GM dealerships nationwide.
The series provides the weekly tracks with technical and public relations support that includes the proper tools and equipment to make sure the race cars meet the rules requirements. The StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series has conducted three Tech Seminars for the weekly tracks over the past ten days.
The StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National Tour will visit Thunderhill Raceway on May 26 for a $3,000-to-win event. The Thunderhill Raceway event will be the second of a three-race Tennessee Tour for the StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series National Tour with $3,000-to-win events at Duck River Speedway on May 25, and a $3,000-to-win event at Clarksville StormPay Speedway on May 27.
“Wayne Burns and his staff are very enthusiastic about the StormPay.com Weekly Racing Series, and we’re looking forward to working with them this season,” StormPay.com Dirt Late Model Series President of Operations and Communications Roby Helm said. “Thunderhill Raceway is a fast little track, and the weekly StormPay.com Crate Late Models and the National Tour will put on a great show there.
