AHRA TAKES OVER LOUISIANA TRACK

December 8th, 2009 10:00 A.M. PST

The American Hot Rod Association is pleased to announce that it has entered into a multi-year agreement, effective January 1, 2010, to take over all operations of Thunder Road Raceway Park. Thunder Road is located in Gilliam Louisiana, 18 miles north of Shreveport. “This will be the mother ship of re-establishing the AHRA in the South; once known as strong AHRA country for many decades” stated Troy Moe, Chief Executive Officer of AHRA. Moe said AHRA will be redesigning the Sportsmen programs as well as hosting multiple major spectator events at the facility. AHRA will be making an announcement shortly as to the appointment of its new General Manager of the facility. “We look forward to developing our Sportsmen friendly programs by sanctioning additional tracks in the Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma markets” stated Moe. AHRA will be announcing a “Reunion Tour” date for the facility in the coming days. AHRA class rules will be posted on its web-site the week of December 13, 2009. “We are extremely excited to have Thunder Road on board in this capacity. This long term agreement will allow us to develop a strong relationship with the sportsmen racers, which is one of the primary objectives of our company” Moe stated.

This is a good move for them, and should it have some positive results. Might make the other sanctioning bodies get themselves together and be a little better too.  Tongue

I'm wondering what their sportsman program is going to consist of. I saw on their website that they are going to run a big money race along with one of their national event races.

I am so glad someone took over the Gilliam track. I would have gathered every penny I could to purchase that track when it was available. My main concern was its off the beaten path location. I was concerned with the areas race car population and the support it would attract. BUT, it is a very nice and worthy facility.
