Thunder in the Valley 2012 Featured Entertaiment



The World Burnout Tour featuring Nick Lee
Nick participated in the World’s Largest Motorcycle Burnout, an extraordinary event led by master bike builder Kendall Johnson at the Full Throttle Saloon. It was an unprecedented assemblage of chrome and rubber as nearly seventy bikers converged to set a new world record. Nick Lee was the last man standing and was ultimately titled, ”Best of Show: The World Record Burnout Holder“. Now, one of its star performers and greatest burnout showman, Nick Lee blazes up the venues of America’s Heartland on his own. Raising money for charitable causes and continuing the old burnout tradition, he takes his show on the road in his highly acclaimed World Burnout Tour. Nick was a great entertainer and a perfect gentleman. We hope to see him again in 2012! http://www.worldburnouttour.com/
