ABOUT THUNDER VALLEY RACEWAY
Thunder Valley opened on June 7, 1997 and is located in the beautiful Laurel Mountains of Somerset County, PA. The track is just outside of Central City near the intersection of state route 160 and U.S. route 30.
Promoted by Joe Padula, Thunder Valley is a half mile banked clay oval. Between April and September the speedway presents Saturday night racing programs featuring Late Models, Semi Lates, Pure Stocks, Four Cylinders and Cruisers.
The speedway is the legacy Mr. Willie Will, who built the facility and operated it along with his family for many years. Mr. Will was the mentor and guiding light of the speedway until his passing in 2008. The speedway honors the legacy of Mr. Will with a memorial event in his name every summer.
