These two classes will be part of the racing action at THR on May 24, June 14 and August 9. The Lone Star Legends feature old-style racecars – including 1934-1937 Chevy, Ford and Dodge coupes and sedans. The Bandoleros are scaled-down, sleek racecars that run on small, 30HP engines. Young drivers are often at the helm of these machines. The Bandit class of the Bandoleros starts its drivers at the age of eight. The Legends have a bit more horsepower, and youngsters who are 14 and over are allowed to drive these unique cars. Mary Ann Naumann, THR Owner/Promoter, is excited about adding these two divisions to Thunderhill Raceway’s 2008 schedule. “Several of our Pro Modified and Pro Truck drivers have kids who race with us in the Bandoleros, and we wanted to give them an opportunity to race on some of the same dates,” said Naumann. “We realized a long time ago that kids are an important part of our racing future, and we want to make sure they feel right at home at Thunderhill Raceway.” Naumann’s niece, Kristen “KT” Wallace, will be bringing her #12 Bandolero all the way from Jasper, GA, to Kyle, TX, hopefully to race in all three of the scheduled races at THR. This 14-year-old driver is looking forward to racing in Texas – especially since she has some deep racing roots in the Lone Star State. Kristen’s dad, Jake Wallace, Jr., is a racing legend at two South Texas former tracks – Longhorn Speedway and San Antonio Speedway. After losing his dad, Jake moved his family to Georgia and ran his Late Model at many of the tracks out east. Jake eventually passed on his racing genes to his son and Kristen’s brother, Eric Wallace. Eric is currently employed by Roush Racing and will be making his debut this year as the Car Specialist and Tire Carrier for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series #16 car driven by Greg Biffle. One of Kristen’s grandfathers, the late Jake Wallace, Sr., also raced for many years all over the state of Texas. Her other grandfather, Jack Sandefur, is the well-known Director of Technical/Pit Operations for Thunderhill Raceway and the Texas Super Racing Series Late Models. Kristen took some practice laps at THR during the Christmas holidays, and her family proudly watched her exhibition on the track. “Racing has been such a big part of our family life, and I’m ready to give it a try,” commented Kristen. “I really appreciate all of the support that I’ve already received from my family as I begin my first year of racing with the Bandoleros, and I hope I do well this year, especially when I race at Thunderhill Raceway!” For more information about Thunderhill Raceway, visit the THR website at http://www.thunderhillraceway.com.
