One of America's premier racing facilities, Thunderhill Raceway Park opened on Halloween 1993, built by the SCCA San Francisco Region. Located 7 miles west of I-5 near Willows, CA, it's a favorite among motorcycle track day riders for its flowing layout, significant elevation changes, and challenging corners — including 'The Cyclone,' often compared to Laguna Seca's Corkscrew. The park hosts over 1,000 events per year, including the legendary 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race. With two distinct courses and the combined 'Thunderschleife,' riders of all levels find something to challenge them here.
East Course
2.866 mi · 15 turns
The original course. Significant elevation changes with technical corners.
West Course

Thunderschleife (Combined)
4.6 mi · 27 turns
