Rain Postpones WDEV/Calkins Night to New Friday, September 9th Date
Barre, VT — With thunderstorms and rain moving into Central Vermont early this afternoon and lasting after tonight’s scheduled Post Time, Thunder Road officials have made the difficult decision to postpone tonight’s events to the new date of Friday, September 9th. New to the 2022 Thunder Road schedule is the WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilets Championship Night for the Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, and rk Miles Street Stocks on Friday, September 9th.
“We had good luck last Thursday,” said Thunder Road managing partner Cris Michaud. “With today’s forecast showing rain past our 7:00pm Post Time, we couldn’t see getting in tonight’s full program or a quality show for our loyal fans and loyal partners in WDEV and Calkins Toilets. We’re excited for our new WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilets Championship Night on Friday, September 9th. Mark your calendars now!”
With the new championship date on September 9th, the WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilets Championship Night will cap off the regular season in huge fashion. It will all come down to Friday, September 9 for the iconic King of the Road Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Model championship battle, as well as the razor-thin championship, fights in the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, and rk Miles Street Stocks. Further details on the new WDEV/Calkins Portable Toilets Championship Night on Friday, September 9th will be released in the coming days.
Thunder Road returns to action on Thursday, August 4 with Cody Chevrolet/Cadillac Night. Headlined by the final, championship round for the Myers Container Service Triple Crown for the Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers, the Maplewood/Irving Oil Late Models, rk Miles Street Stocks and Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warriors will also be in attendance.
