Are dogs allowed at Thunderhill?

Yes! We love dogs too. However they must be leashed at all times. Animals are not allowed in any buildings at Thunderhill unless it is a certified service dog.

If you have an aggressive dog, please do everyone a favor and leave Fido at home. Dog attacks are very serious and we do not want your dog injuring a person or another pet. Failure to follow these pet rules will result in you and your pet being asked to leave the property.

Are there restrooms and showers at Thunderhill?

Yes there are real restrooms and showers at Thunderhill Raceway. They are located near the center of the paddock in both the East and West paddocks. Since late 2021, there is also a new restroom and shower building at the North end of the East Paddock.

Are there garages available for rent at Thunderhill?

At this time all 42 garages are rented. We do plan to build more garages in 2023. To inquire about possible openings, contact Terry Taylor at 530-624-8482.

Is there a gate fee at Thunderhill?

Generally speaking there is no gate fee to come to Thunderhill and watch the events. There are some clubs who do charge a gate fee.  NASA and AFM typically charge $15 to enter the paddock. It is always best to call before arriving. For more info contact us at 530-934-5588 ext 103.

Are there RV hookups at Thunderhill?

We offer electrical hookups only at Thunderhill. No water or sewer hookups are provided.

We have NEMA 1450 receptacles for RV hookups throughout the paddock. They are not to be used for EV charging.

Generally speaking the club that has rented the track pays for the electrical hookups for their participants. Paddock space and electrical hookups are on a first come, first served basis.

Does Thunderhill accommodate electric vehicles?

The charging stations are the Series 7 Plus, the most powerful Level 2 fleet charging solution on the market. They are located inside the paddock, northeast of the SCCA Office building (the first building on your right when you enter the track).

The charging platforms accept standard EV plugs. Thunderhill has contracted with Sema Connect to provide EV charging for our customers. You will need to have an account with them and work out how to utilize these pedestals for your needs. Each plug provides 80 amps of charging capacity (2 plugs per unit) requiring 2 @100 amp breakers for each pedestal.
