THURSDAY THUNDER GEARS UP
for immediate release…
August 13, 2010
Australian Speedway’s most exciting development for 2010, “Thursday Thunder” is only a few short weeks away from making its debut on computer screens right across the world.
Thursday night, September 9, the first show will screen with a broad range of Speedway categories, personalities, highlights and interviews.
“The build up and interest in Thursday Thunder is very exciting,” says co-director Darren Disbury, “we have been inundated with Speedway categories and sponsorship opportunities since our pilot show was released to be viewed by the public and I’m pleased to say that our blast off date on September 9 is right on target.”
Disbury says that the charter for this online Speedway TV show is simple.
“We want to take Australian Speedway to the world,” he admits, “we have an hour each week to showcase the stars and the racing in our sport and we’re projecting it on the net where we can broaden the interest of the sport across the board.”
Already a range of Australian Speedway categories have confirmed their support and involvement in “Thursday Thunder.”
“Each category will provide us with a special guest each week, which we will interview either in the studio or on the phone along with the appropriate photo and video vision overlay. Our hosts Wade Aunger and Trevor Green want to get into their heads and really get to know what makes them tick, why they race in their division and a range of other topics. I know the boys are really keen to get in there and make some great TV.”
Each week this one-hour show will feature in-studio and on-the-phone guests, racing highlights from all over the world, tech-tips, safety tips, news-of-the-week, video interviews and plenty more.
And of course with Trevor Green currently racing Danny Smith’s car in the USA and returning just days before Show #1 “Trev” will have all the latest and greatest from a racer’s perspective in America.
The show will air at 6pm (Adelaide time) on Thursday night, September 9 live at the following web address: www.australialivetv.com
It will be archived on that website and also shown as a archive on www.thursdaythunder.com.au
Guests and the show line up for Show #1 of this historic online Australian Speedway TV program will be announced shortly…
Ends release.

Thursday Thunder Receives Some Rocket Power!
Author : Thursday Thunder TV

Thursday Thunder has a new naming rights sponsor.

Rocket Industries have officially joined as the naming rights supporter on the eve of the first Thursday Thunder online TV show when it airs on www.australialivetv.com.au or www.thursdaythunder.com.au at 6pm (SA Time) until 7pm on Thursday night, September 9.

Rocket Industries MD Graeme Cowin and his Speedway division manager Matt Young this week confirmed their involvement in Thursday Thunder as the major presenting sponsor.

“We approached Darren Disbury after we saw the pilot show on the Internet for Thursday Thunder,” admits Matt Young, “because we could immediately see the potential of the project. We knew it would be smart to get on board on the ground floor because the show will grow and grow. This format is the future of broadcasting and we’re excited about reaching a wide range of our customers through the exposure.”

Within their sponsorship Rocket Industries will also expose Thursday Thunder to their huge database of customers in the performance parts and motor racing industry.

“We’re committed to not only sponsoring but helping promote this show,” says Rocket main man Graeme Cowin, “the more people we can get to watch the program the more it will grow both here and internationally. We can see very clearly how important this program will become.”

Today several segments were filmed for the show in and around Rocket Industries in Huntingwood, and a special trip to the Rocket race shop!

Each week a new segment featuring many of the Rocket dirt track components and suppliers will be presented by Matt Young and fellow Rocket employee and Sydney Sprintcar driver Sammy Walsh.

“We’re very thankful to Graeme Cowin and Matt Young for seeing the potential in what we’re doing,” says Thursday Thunder Commercial Manager Darren Disbury, “it’s a huge show of faith for us to have a company like Rocket involved right from the first episode. We know this will be a huge success, but it’s heartening to have others with the same faith. Especially someone with the clout of Graeme Cowin and Rocket.”

The countdown to Rocket Industries Thursday Thunder’s first show on Thursday, September 9, has begun…

Busy Day Filming For Rocket Thursday Thunder
Author : Thursday Thunder TV



Today was a busy day for the crew on Rocket Thursday Thunder with a number of very entertaining and indeed enlightening interviews shot across the greater Brisbane area.

First up, it was off to the Rebound Bodies workshop in Carole Park of Allan Woods where the brother and sister AWSR (wingless sprint) duo of Justin and Leisha Gaudry were standing by.

This brother-sister team is one of three cars in the family with other brother Trent and even Dad joining in for good measure. We only met Justin and Leisha today but I assure the male viewers Leisha will get your attention!

We then had a chat with Allan Woods about the wingless sprint side of things and a good look over the Gaudry “green machine” with its – wait for it - $79 motor!!

Left there, up the road to Ipswich and the new Ian Boettcher Race Parts and racecar workshop and some interviews with Super Sedan stars Colin Hockley, Matt Pascoe, Darren Kane, Wayne Randall and the boss man himself Ian Boettcher.

Left at around 2.30pm to drive back to Wanless Industries where waiting in the lobby was the fully restored Ron Wanless #1 Winfield VW Speedcar! I even coerced Todd to climb in – something he had NEVER done before that moment, and we got it all on film!

In the workshop out the back were more new racecars than you could possibly imagine.

A new Spike Hawk Speedcar, at least two wingless sprintcars plus open sprintcars plus the two-seater sprintcar – there was barely clear floor to be had!

Todd’s interview too, is tremendous.

Before I head home Saturday am hoping to pin down Andrew Scheuerle at Ausdeck Racing AND I have a locked in appointment with Steven Johnson at Dick Johnson Racing in Yatala on Saturday to interview him about his desire to race Sprintcars each summer!

You’ll be seeing all this in weeks ahead.

Now, Show #1 will feature the following guests:

Ricky Maiolo (Sprintcars) in the studio

Darren Kane (Super Sedans)

Todd Wanless (Speedcars)

Corey & Rex Hodgson (AWSR) in the studio

Brad Doty (Legend segment)

Kendra Jacobs (USA News Segment)

Tour of Rocket Industries (Video)

KING KINSER IS COMING TO THURSDAY THUNDER!
Official Press Release – Thursday Thunder
September 14, 2010
The King of the Outlaws, Steve Kinser, is all set to appear on Rocket Thursday Thunder.
The legendary 56 year old, who is in stunning form at present, looks likely to appear on the program in two weeks time, on Thursday, September 30.
“We’re so excited,” says Rocket Thursday Thunder co-presenter Trevor Green, “to have a guest like Steve Kinser on the program is such a coup. Interviewing him will be one of the highlights of the year for me and for our online program.”
Steve’s daughter Stevie, along with and stevekinser.com webmaster Daniel Beard, have paved the way to freeing up time for "the King" to appear on the program via phone interview on September 30.
The interview will fall between Williams Grove and Lernerville on the Outlaws schedule.
Kinser is well in contention to win his 21st World of Outlaws Championship this year and his formation with Tony Stewart Racing has seen him perhaps enter yet another winning phase of his unrivalled career.
“Steve is so tough,” smiles Trevor Green, “so very, tough. You can’t afford to ever write him off, in any event. It’s going to be a busy night in the studio audience that night on Rocket Thursday Thunder.”
Indeed there is so much to talk about with the legendary Kinser.
Where do you start?
His undying desire to win.
Racing with TSR.
His early days in Australia.
The resurgence in his form.
The new tire.
Any plans for Australia in the future?
So many questions…
The King, Steve Kinser, on Rocket Thursday Thunder, SOON. Write down the date, and stay glued to your computer screen.
