We are excited to bring a new event to the Colorado Front Range. The Thunder Valley Short Track Series starts this coming June. We will be hosting 3 short track races at the Thunder Valley moto track on C470/I70 area. Races will be on Tuesday nights June 10, June 24 and July 8. As you can expect, you will be treated to an amazing race scene, exciting atmosphere, professional timing, super fun terrain, a volunteer group that is second to none, and of course, support from our sponsors. This is seriously a good time for the whole family and a great way to spend a summer evening. Details a-coming..
If you are a student or a parent/guardian of a youth rider and thinking about racing one of our events, WE WANT YOU THERE! We don’t want you worrying about the cost of registration, so we developed our scholarship program to give athletes of all ages and abilities an opportunity to race. Please consider applying for one of our scholarships. Click logo above to get started.

If you need to defer, we will happily issue a voucher for any Rattler event in the next 12 months. This will incur a $10 fee.

What to Expect

Equipment: All bikes are legal for the race, with the exception of E-bikes. We can’t overstate the importance of your bike running in top condition on the day of the race. Like you, it will be challenged. And, it’s your friend. Help a friend out.
Course 411: The course will be marked at all critical intersections. It is the rider’s responsibility to study the course and have directional backup. Remember, we must adhere to all traffic rules. Always stay to the right of the center, especially on the fast descents. Weather can always be a factor in Colorado. Plan accordingly! We will have a medical team on course in various areas and roaming. As always 911 is your friend. Marshals will have radios as well. Good communication wins the day.
Spectating: There are many ways to view this event. Please consider routes that don’t interfere with riders as you make your way to a spectating spot. A map will be provided as we get closer to race day.
Number Plates: All Racers will be issued a chipped number plate. Treat it well.
Timing/Awards: We work to get results and awards as quickly as possible.
Licensing: We will make this a hybrid race where Open, Cat 1 and Cat 2 will be USAC sanctioned. If racing Cat 3, a license will not be required.
