Thunder Mountain Raceway
A Legacy of Community and Thrills
Close to Kelowna, BC, Thunder Mountain Raceway (TMR) has attracted drag racing enthusiasts of all ages for over 50 years. TMR offers a unique 1/8th mile strip and is more than just a raceway; it’s a welcoming space where the love of speed, family, and tradition merge into an unforgettable experience.
A Track with a Heart
At its core, Thunder Mountain Raceway is sustained by a tight-knit group of passionate drag racers whose dedication to the sport is eclipsed only by their commitment to cultivating a friendly, inclusive environment. Unlike traditional racing tracks that cater to professional and semi-pro drivers, TMR prides itself on being a family-oriented venue. It’s not about the fierce competition here; it’s about sharing a love for cars, speed, and entertainment.
Sign up for our weekend races! Bring the family to camp and enjoy the thrills. We welcome young drivers and teens and provide expert driving training. Our ambiance is unlike any other racetrack – there’s no pressure of pre-registration. Simply arrive on Friday and have your vehicle checked by skilled technicians to ensure everyone’s safety before the racing begins.
Good Food and Community Spaces
Delicious onsite food and drinks are on offer at the TMR’s very own Chuckwagon food truck. This has quickly become a favorite among racers and spectators. Enjoy sizzling burgers, home-style fries, classic hot dogs and refreshing drinks you can take to the stands. At our track, you are also welcome to pack a picnic and enjoy a meal under our large gazebo, surrounded by fellow racing aficionados.
Where Young Racers Shine
Thunder Mountain Raceway serves as a beacon for budding talent with its junior and teen challenge racing. Junior Dragsters, young racers aged 6 to 16, take to the track on Saturdays and Sundays, showcasing that age is but a number in the world of drag racing. The Teen Challenge caters to those aged 13 to 18, providing a platform for adolescents to test their mettle against their peers. We encourage a lifelong passion for racing!
Weekend Warriors and Spectator Delights
The excitement peaks on Fridays with the option for callouts, allowing individuals to challenge fellow racers in friendly competition. The weekends bring points races across categories like Pro, Super Pro, and Top Competition, stirring up the competitive spirit within our relaxed, fun-filled atmosphere. Some of our upcoming races: Friday Night Instant Greens, Friday Night Street Outlaws, Bracket Racing, and the Teen Challenge. And don’t miss the 4th Annual Dirty Diesel Drag Race on July 6, 2024!
Plan a great weekend now! We open in early June. Our bleachers provide an unobstructed view of the action, there’s a food truck for sustenance, and a covered area for dining and socializing. With racing fees set modestly and trophies awarded to weekend race winners, TMR succeeds in making motor sports accessible to everyone.
Volunteering and Accessibility
Volunteers looking to immerse themselves in the racing community are welcome! We don’t ask for racing credentials – only that you bring your passion for the sport and the community. From burnout box to the tech shack – we love volunteers. All training is provided, and you are reimbursed. Meet great people at be up at the front of the races! Thank you in advance – it’s our volunteers that make racing successful and safe.
Note – TMR’s facility is conveniently accessible, ensuring no one misses out on the action. We offer a shuttle from our gate for the elderly and disabled to get up to the track, during all open hours. This is because it’s a good walk up an incline to get up to the track!
A Tradition of Excitement
With affordable entry fees and a welcoming policy for spectators of all ages, Thunder Mountain Raceway continues to attract thousands of racing fans every year. Whether you’re behind the wheel, cheering from the sidelines, or joining friends in the campground, TMR promises an experience that’s bound to leave you exhilarated.
Thunder Mountain Raceway isn’t just about racing; it’s about creating memories, sharing a passion for the sport, celebrating the thrill of speed, and having a fun weekend in a family-friendly environment. This cherished gem near Kelowna has become a home away from home for many, proving that sometimes, the heart of racing beats strongest off the professional tracks.
