TVD/MCR 50th Anniv. race and reunion

[Alan Nyhus]

June 11-12 is the 50th anniversary event at Thunder Valley Dragway in Marion, S.D. The list of notable competitors that have raced here over the years is pretty impressive, to say the least.

Midwest Class Racers is hosting it's largest paying Stock/Super Stock combo event that weekend, thanks to our marketing partners and sponsors. You can click on the Midwest Class Racers section here under 'Stock/Super Stock Associations' for event details, payout, etc. You can also check out MCR's Facebook page at

One of the best parts of the weekend will be the Friday night Racers Reunion! This is being held at Ron Roddel and Jim Christensen's 'Wheelz' hot rod shop in Brandon, S.D. Brandon is just 10 minutes East of Sioux Falls. The address for Wheelz is 109 N. Heritage, Brandon, S.D. 57005. I've included a link to MapQuest here for directions:

The reunion will start at 5:00 and run until 10:00. Ron and Chris are graciously providing a meal and refreshments for everyone. There will be a good number of restored race cars from Thunder Valleys past on display, along with some great hot rods and muscle cars. Several area photographers will have many, many photos from the tracks history on display.

ZZ Top hits the stage at 7 pm, followed by AC/DC at 8 and The Rolling Stones will finish the evening off beginning at 9.*

For further info about the Friday night reunion at Wheelz, contact Ron Roddel at 605-941-2380.

Should be a lot of fun!
