While racetracks are closing around the country, Wyoming racing is poised to take the next step in its evolution and bring the intent of the legislation passed in 2012 to fruition.
VISION MAP

Site Plan
Thunder Plains Park will be located off the Hillsdale exit, approximately 10 miles east of Cheyenne. The initial phase of development shall include construction of the first full-sized racecourse in Wyoming.
