This Tulare, Thunderbowl Raceway winners list is still being compiled. It is incomplete (but much better than what we had before, which was nothing). Thanks to Kevin Eckert, Marty Kobata, Lance Jennings, Jeff Peck, and Steve Turnross for their help! ...We would LOVE to fill in all the blanks on this list, particularly in terms of car owner victories. Please email me if you can help with specific information.
