Super Chevy Show

September 23, 2011 - September 25, 2011

Thunder Valley hosts one of the largest Super Chevy Shows on the calendar, September 23-25. For more than 30 years, the Super Chevy Show has been known for some of the most exciting bracket and exhibition racing in the country and this year is no different. Add the Fas Mart Thunder Valley Mayhem presented by Beef O'Brady's on Saturday night, September 24 and this show is a can't-miss event.

Fans should prepare themselves for the ultimate evening of entertainment, including fast machines, extreme thrills and edge-of-your-seat excitement. Details on exhibition acts will be released as soon as they become available.

Thunder Valley Mayhem exhibition runs will take place at 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, while the Pro Mods and Jet Cars will run again on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Those in attendance will have plenty of activities to keep them busy all weekend. Bracket racers will flock to Thunder Valley to take part in exciting racing action in Bracket 1 (Super Pro), Bracket 2 (Pro), DOT and True Street. The True Street cruise will take place at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Fans also will get to see a spectacular selection of some of the region's best classic and modern Chevys. Chevy die-hards will be impressed with the attention to detail given to these show machines. The Super Chevy car show is one of the biggest and best Chevy car shows around. Bowtie fans will not want to miss it.

Anyone interested in locating new products for their restoration project will want to visit the Performance & Restoration Marketplace. If that hard-to-find used part is nowhere to be found, the car corral and used parts swap meet is definitely the place to go.

Gates open Friday at 9 a.m. with racer tech inspection. A Test and Tune session is scheduled for noon. Gates open at 8 a.m. on Saturday with Car Show registration and tech inspection also beginning at this time. Time trials take place from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Saturday's bracket racing begins at 3 p.m.

Saturday's Fas Mart Thunder Valley Mayhem presented by Beef O'Bradys has two pro show sessions scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Spectator Admission is $10 Friday and $20 both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's admission includes Thunder Valley Mayhem. A weekend pass is available for only $30. Ages 10 and under are $5 per day, or $10 for the weekend. Full hook-up camping is available for $100.
