Read More2021 SEASON PASS & GIFT CARD UPDATE
Hello all.
We have already heard from many people asking about when Thunder Road season passes will be available for 2021. After much discussion, we have decided to hold off on selling season passes – at least for now. This is because, at this point, we simply don’t know what will be allowed for fan attendance at events next year. A lot can change over the next several months for better or worse, and we don’t think it’s fair to anybody to start selling passes with the picture still being so murky.
We will continue to monitor the situation as we get closer to the scheduled mid-May opener. If circumstances are looking more favorable come spring, we’ll certainly see about making season passes available. Please keep an eye on our website and social media pages for further updates.
If you are still looking for a racing-related holiday present this year, Thunder Road has gift cards for sale. These can be purchased in any dollar amount and used towards event tickets, track concessions, and even towards a season’s pass if we ultimately are able to offer them. And they never expire! If you are interested in ordering a gift card, please call the Thunder Road office at (802) 244-6963 ext. 2 and leave a message with your name and contact information.
In the meantime, please be healthy and safe. The more people commit to staying healthy and safe over the winter, the better off all race tracks will be when spring arrives. We hope to see all of you next May.
