Thunderhill Raceway introduces student discount rate

KYLE, TX (March 20, 2008) – As part of an ongoing effort to make Thunderhill Raceway (Kyle, TX) even more “family friendly,” a new student discount is being introduced for the 2008 racing season at the 3/8-mile, asphalt oval, stock-car track. This student discount follows a recent announcement about decreasing the adult grandstand general admission ticket cost to only $10.

Starting with the Thunderhill Raceway season opener on April 12, students presenting a valid school ID can purchase a grandstand ticket for only $8 ($2 discount). This new discount is valid for students who are 13-years-old and older – including college students. Younger students (ages 12 and under) will be admitted free when accompanied by an adult.

“We’ve received several requests for a price break on the admission costs for teenagers and college students,” said Mary Ann Naumann, Thunderhill Raceway’s Owner/Promoter. “We know we have many families who regularly attend the races. We also have lots of nearby college students, and we want to make it a bit more affordable for them to watch the races.”

Mike Reininger, driver of the #84 Texas Super Racing Series (TSRS) Late Model, races regularly at Thunderhill Raceway and is excited about the discount.“I have two daughters – Michelle who’s 17 and Kelly who’s 15 – so this discount will really help out,” commented Reininger. “I think parents will be more likely to bring their kids to the track with this discount, rather than leaving them at home or choosing to do something else on race nights.”

The season opener on April 12 will feature the Texas Pro Sedans, and the Thunderhill Raceway A-Line Super Stocks, Thunder Stocks and Grand Stocks – along with the Pro Truck and Pro Modified classes. Highlighting the evening is a Kids’ Bike Race at intermission, sponsored by the JRA Kids Club. The grandstand gates open at 4:00 p.m.The racing action gets started promptly at 7:00 p.m.

Thunderhill Raceway is located at 24801 IH-35, just outside of San Marcos, TX, near Yarrington Road (Exit #210). Two special scheduled events will be excluded from the student discount rate – the 4th Annual Allstate NASCAR Racefest on April 19 and the Allstate Texas Stock Car Spectacular on September 26 and 27.
