The Thompson family has been racing in California for over 45 years. Jerry raced from 1965 to
1987 in the Hard Top and Super Modified divisions at historic tracks such as Kearney Bowl, Clovis
Speedway, and Madera Speedway winning well over 50 races in his career. Jerry also won the last
Track Championship before the closing of Clovis Speedway in 1976 and has been inducted in the
Kearney Bowl Hall of Fame.
The only one of those tracks still in existence is Madera Speedway and the Thompson Family is
the only one who has had a member driving there every year since it opened in 1972. Jerry raced
there from 1972 - 1987 and Rick or Kevin Thompson have raced there every year since.
Rick and Kevin Thompson are still driving at Madera Speedway. You should come by to watch on
a Saturday Night and stop by and say hi.

their Championship race on
the same night. Jerry had
to choose which track he
wanted to win the

chose Clovis Speedway
because of his love for dirt
racing. Jerry ended up
being the last Champion of

The 1980's brought a lot
of changes in Super
Modified racing. The
cars changed from
inexpensive, build it your
self Hard-Tops to the
850+ hp, $35,000 - $50,000
cars of today. Jerry stuck
with the sport he loved,
even as an underdog,
until 1986.
Even though he lacked
the sponsors to really
compete he was able to
win races up to the end,
winning his last main
event in 1983 and his last
trophy dash in 1985.
