After steady rains and cool temperatures forced the postponement of the first trip to Thunder Valley Raceway, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Thunder Jam presented by Arby's and the U.S. Air Force is back as Thunder Valley is set to host the drag racing thrill show today.
All original tickets purchased at O'Reilly Auto Parts and adult discount coupons from Arby's will be honored at the rescheduled event.
"There is nothing worse than having to postpone an event, but we are excited to bring the same thrill-packed family drag racing entertainment show back," said Thunder Jam Operations Manager Jim Marchyshyn. "Advance ticket sales were brisk and we look forward to a great show in great weather."
Spectator gates open 4 p.m. and showcases the same talent including the 20,000 horsepower "X-Treme Machine" jet semi truck, the side-by-side battle of KC Jones hometown (Lexington) jet trains "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "Cannonball Express" and a wheelstanding school bus, the "Cool Bus."
