TVR is the first design-built modified kart racing facility in the State of Maine. The one-fifth mile, tri-oval has all the amenities of a modem era racing facility - lighted asphalt track and pit area, grandstands, scoring tower, parts building, concessions, restrooms, the AMB Electronic Scoring and Timing System, and ample parking. Modified kart racing in the fastest growing motorsports venue and the only one that allows the whole family to actively participate. Thundering Valley Raceway holds racing events for drivers starting at age 5. Racers come from all over New England to participate in eight divisions, racing in heat and feature races for trophies and points.

Contact us anytime if you have questions or are interested in getting into racing karts. What's New: A big thanks to BDS Waste Disposal for sponsoring the kart racing on Saturday and the tractor pulls on Sunday. We had some great racing in the Sr Champ Animal division as they did a 50 lap feature race as the finale of night racing this season. We welcomed a new racer - Jason Morse - who did a great job in his first outing at TVR, but had to leave the race with some brake issues. Colby Benjamin and Amanda Grant continue to improve in the Box Stock Division, as does Cole Herrick in the Kid Kart Division. The trophies were extra special this night and the Bourgoine Family also treated everyone to baseball caps and chocolate bars!
Also present on Saturday night was the Waterville Area Civil Air Patrol. Their leader, John Berryman, is our flagger. The kids enjoyed games and rocket building during the evening and their color guard did a wonderful job at our intermission.
A great crowd was present for the tractor pulls on Sunday. We welcomed some new competitors for the first time this season and Griffin Hurd from Morrill took home some hardware at the end of the day. Thanks to Kevin Nickerson for bringing his Big Rig for the weekend and we all appreciate what BDS Waste Disposal does for our programs! The karts have some time off the next few weeks as kids and parents get ready for the start of school. There will be a Saturday practice on September 11th from 10-1. Racing will resume on Sunday, September 12th. Gates open at 9:30 AM, practice is 10-12 and racing action begins at 12:30 PM.
The tractor pullers will return on Labor Day weekend, Sunday,
September 5th sponsored by WKF Transport. Gates open at 9 AM with
pulls starting at 11 AM. We were recently informed by the Racing Against Cancer organization that they are starting a new Track Walk Program for fund raising in 2011. They have a new web site and have featured pictures of our first track walk two years ago on the site to promote their new program. We continue to collect money for them throughout the season with our 50/50 raffles, sales of decals and wristbands, and baked goods at the concessions. Please check them out at www.RacingAgainstCancer.com. Remember that TVR is a full service kart shop, too. We try our best to have any part you may need for your racing machine and if we don't have it in stock, we'll get it for you real quick! Nate is also available to help any racer set up, scale and adjust your kart.
