The sights and sounds that emanate from Thunder Valley when the O'Reilly NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals are in town are unmistakable. And at Bristol Dragway, there's no better way to experience the rush than by taking in all the action from the Food City Thunder Valley Club or from Bruton's Suite.
Both offer fans plenty of exclusive amenities. Seats for the Food City Thunder Valley Club and Bruton's Suite are on sale now for Bristol's NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series event, set for May 18-20.
The Food City Thunder Valley Club features its own pit-side grandstand positioned beside the starting line. Members also have access to a spacious climate-controlled Hospitality Chalet with adjacent private restrooms. The package includes catered meals and beverages (cash bar available). Fans also get the chance to meet and greet NHRA drivers. John Force and his daughter Ashley are scheduled to appear, along with a number of other drivers. Fans also will take home a great Thunder Valley Nationals souvenir pack to commemorate their trip to Thunder Valley.
Bruton's Suite offers the paramount Bristol drag racing experience. Dragway owner Bruton Smith didn't cut any corners when he constructed his own suite here at Bristol. The luxury skybox features fully enclosed, theatre-style seating in a luxurious climate-controlled environment. Or, if fans want to open their senses to the raw power of NHRA drag racing, they can step outside and take a seat in Bruton's Suite private balcony. The Chef's Table offers the finest cuisine offered at any motorsports facility and a courteous wait staff is on hand to cater to fans' needs. Closed circuit television, private restrooms and a souvenir gift pack also are available with admission to Bruton's Suite.
