Title: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on November 27, 2006, 07:45:01 PM I have decided to add a TT track to our existing track at Thunderbowl Speedway in Ocala. We have several designs drawn up, but a national Dirt Track and TT racing promoter and track builder is coming to meet with me in January to work with us about what is the best fit for our facility. As soon as we figure out what will work the best, we will begin construction. I am planning for the track to be done by late February.
Alright, give me some input. Who's down for some haul a$$ TT racing? Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: Ride1Rob on November 27, 2006, 07:56:34 PM Now I'd definitely make it up quite often for that ;) .

Hell, I can only afford the set on my bike :-\ . Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: RTR_380/450R on November 29, 2006, 11:46:35 PM Did someone say TT? HMMMMMM!

Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: tat2mike on December 03, 2006, 07:55:33 PM hey brady any updates?
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on December 04, 2006, 08:14:19 AM Nothing new. I have a meeting in January with Steve Nace, at which time we'll get the layout hammered out. In the meantime, I will try to have the clay mined out so once we get the design down, we can start rolling trucks and begin construction as quick as possible.
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: Quad32x on December 04, 2006, 08:46:14 AM You is da man ! ;)
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on December 04, 2006, 07:04:40 PM Well, I spoke with Steve Nace today about our meeting in January. He is just as excited as I am about our TT track project. He said that that himself (he's a national racing promoter for those who don't know) and the ATVA wants to add us on the national TT circuit, and possibly the Extreme Dirt Track Series? It would be for next year, as the coming years schedule is already set.
We traded thoughts on some layout ideas for the track itself. He has had some motorcycle races here in the past, so he's familiar with our facility. The only downer is that the TT construction may not start until after Bike Week because he's bringing the motorcycles that race in daytona to race at our track during bike week. If I can complete the track before they come, then I will, but if my schedule won't allow it, then I'll wait until after they're gone. I don't really want a half finshed job with 500+ motorcycles coming to race. I will post more info as I get it. Thanks Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: Quad32x on December 04, 2006, 07:42:28 PM Hmmmmm. Sounds like a good beer drinking event ! ;) ;D

Surveying will begin this weekend, with actual construction to follow sometime in February.
The race promoter I mentioned earlier will be here next weekend to check it out as well. Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: 01ZX12R on January 16, 2007, 10:05:00 PM Sounds like everything is going as planned. GREAT JOB Brady.

Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: N-Tense Motorsports on January 17, 2007, 01:54:02 PM Brady, will the TT track involve all classes? Just wondering about Austin & Carleigh in the youth class. ::)
Glad to it's getting close!!! Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: Joe Porter on January 17, 2007, 06:52:20 PM http://www.stevenaceracing.com/Home/index.htm

Just wondering about Austin & Carleigh in the youth class. ::) Glad to it's getting close!!! Yes, all classes, and maybe some new ones as well. Austin & Carleigh will definately be able to race. Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: Nightbreed on January 18, 2007, 12:56:34 AM TT HMMM, ;) I might just have to put on a set of tires and give this a try. ;D
Keep up the good work. I am glad to see someone else out there that is trying to push the quad sports in the right direction. Great Job!! :ThumbsUp.gif Mike Walker ATP Racing Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: RTR_380/450R on January 18, 2007, 09:14:06 AM What next brother! Sand Drags? MX? SUPERMOTO? Keep it up and watch your place explode with enthusiasts!!!! Good job! ;)
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on January 18, 2007, 05:25:09 PM I looked at sand drags. Not enough shut down room.
All the MX you could want is literally next door at Hard Rock. No way I could compete with that. Supermoto is easily done. I met with the track here in Ocala about 6 months ago where the Supermoto bike guys race. They will allow quads, as long as we meet there tech/safety requirements (no lights, wire in plugs, catch cans), pay $50.00 to race, and have at least 5 quads to make a class. Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: N-Tense Motorsports on January 19, 2007, 06:49:54 AM Brady, will the TT track involve all classes? Just wondering about Austin & Carleigh in the youth class. ::) Glad to it's getting close!!! Yes, all classes, and maybe some new ones as well. Austin & Carleigh will definately be able to race. Sweet, Austin was hoping so, he can't wait till its done. Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: 450r91 on January 25, 2007, 01:17:41 PM Lets do the supermoto! Sounds like it would be a blast and something new!
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: tat2mike on January 28, 2007, 03:11:55 PM awesome brady
cant wait to see some photos of track construction Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on February 16, 2007, 07:05:21 PM I scraped off the rough shape of the tracks layout last weekend. The guys that come race tomorrow will see it. It's not etched in stone as there are things I'm going to change, like radius increases, etc.
I will take some pic's and try to post it, or get someone to post it for me so you guys can see some progress. Thanks for everyones patience. Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: N-Tense Motorsports on February 16, 2007, 09:21:59 PM :ThumbsUp.gif SWEET! Can't wait to see it!!
Title: Re: Thunderbowl Speedway - TT Track Construction Post by: fastrnrik on February 27, 2007, 05:48:38 PM The TT track is now cut in. The radius and banking are in, and it is now waiting on the clay to be installed. The jumps are not installed yet, as they will be built while finish grading the clay. I have pictures, but I don't know how to post them. I can email them to someone to post if you guys want to see 'em.
