Tropical Storm Fred Forces Event to be Pushed Back

Barre, VT — Continued rain from Tropical Storm Fred has forced Thunder Road to postpone Vermont Tire & Service Night until Friday, August 20 at 7:00pm. The schedule for the event will remain the same as planned for the original Thursday date. Fans can watch at the track or live on FloRacing.

The Thursday rainout is the latest case of Mother Nature wreaking havoc on the Thunder Road summer season. Rain has already begun in the Barre area and is expected to continue until early Friday morning. However, Friday afternoon and evening look much better with the forecast calling for highs in the mid-80s and only a 10% chance of rain.

Vermont Tire & Service Night includes the 50-lap Bolduc Metal Recycling Street Stock Special plus double-purse features for the Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors. Thunder Road will also hold the Kid’s Poster Contest and a presentation for the Junior Champ Kart program. All advance tickets sold to the original Thursday date will be honored at Friday’s event.

The pits will open for Friday’s show at 3:30pm and the grandstands will open at 5:15pm. Admission is $15 for adults, $5 for kids ages 6-12, and $30 for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids). Advance tickets are available at www.happsnow.com/event/Thunder-Road-Speedbowl. All Thunder Road events are also live-streamed on FloRacing for those with a paid subscription.
