Thunder Valley Outdoor MX National Fan Fest Moving to Larger Venue
Denver - Sun Enterprises, Colorado’s largest motorcycle dealership, announced today that they will be hosting the Lucas Oil / MX Sports Thunder Valley Pro Motocross Fan Fest, a combination autograph session and street festival, on Friday, June 26th, 2009. This will be the one and only official Fan Fest held this year, as no other Fan events are planned at the Thunder Valley track.
“For the last 5 years the Fan Fest has been held at the Thunder Valley Track”, said Sun GM Mark Kite, “but the location was not ideal. Parking was a problem and the promoter didn’t have the staff to deal with a large amount of fans while he was also busy trying to prep the track for Saturday’s race. Since we have an ideal location and plenty of room, we volunteered to host the Fan Fest at Sun”.
Sun has arranged with the City of Thornton to close down an entire city block adjacent to their sprawling eight acre campus, creating room for a spacious Sponsor Village and other attractions. Centered in Sun’s main parking lot will be the interview stage and autograph tent. Pro racers from all major teams, both factory and privateer, are expected to attend. “This will be the best and only chance for Fans from all over the Rocky Mountains to meet their favorite riders in person, and get a souvenir or autograph”, said Kite. “It’s going to be tons of fun”.
The Thunder Valley Outdoor Motocross Fan Fest will be held from 4:00pm until 8:00 pm, Friday June 26th. A color guard will open the rider introductions at 5:30pm. There is no charge for admission or parking at the Fan Fest. Due to city regulations pets are not allowed. Tickets for the Saturday night National Motocross race will be available for sale.
