A&A Cycle from Watertown, S.D. has also joined in with some bonus bucks:

-$200 for anyone that wins with a station wagon. There are several good racers with 'wagons at the MCR races, so this could be fun. :)

Thanks to Rob and the crew at A&A! :)

Re: 50th At Thunder Valley Race
 

Great news for racers coming the area just south of the staging lanes ( south of the creek) will be reserved for Stock / Super Stock only. This is a nice shaded area and will be first come first served. Our hospitality tent will also be set up out there. Been hearing from Racers & Alumni from all over the country looks to be a fun ( as well as the huge purse) race. hope to c all at Wheelz in Brandon Friday evening and then at the Races Sat morning.
