Thunder racing is closed !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thunder racing in baton rouge, la is officially closed, they have sold everything and are locking the doors on thursday. Hope no one on here has any parts or money over thier. If so its lost, just a heads up. I was thier on sunday saw it in person................ Thats too bad that they couldnt make it. Mike the tuner is great and so is donald the mechanic both have some serious skills. Will still do business with the both of them . Where ever they land

it wont happen
Everything has been sold at what ever they could get for it. Customers who ordered parts and paid for them are stuck.... Customers had to pick up cars that werent finished . Owners are no where to be found, Just not a good thing....... Employess are owe thousands of dollars and cant get paid. What once was so great now is so bad. They had a great tunner in Mike i had all kinds of sucess with him. Come to find out he never worked for them he was self employed and just did his tunning over thier so he didnt get stuck with them oweing him money...........Well on to the next adventure

yes
First go to the ls1 forum and you will read how guys who have sent money for parts dont have the part and cant speak to anyone to get thier money back. One guy is out of the states and sent 4200.00 to them and he cant get anyone to speak to him. As for me personaly i spoke face to face with employees trying to help shut the shop down , hopeing to get some money from tools and parts to make up for what they are owed........... I was over at thunder racing in baton rouge, la sunday . Getting some work done by employees that were using the shop to make a little money, so they took a job on for me. Paid them personally. Before they dismantled the lift that was left.............believe me it does not look good for those that sent money and have nothing to show for it..................

It looks like the web site is still up and wants me to go through with the purchase of an expensive super charger. They could at least turn off the bloody ordering on the site.

That's horrible. My first supercharger was ordered from an outfit called t'bourn motorsports, or something like that. They went **** up shortly after my 'charger arrived. I got lucky.

That too bad about them going out of business - hopefully those that were dealing with them can get something back.
