THOMPSON
READY FOR SECOND TRY
AT WORLD SERIES THIS WEEKEND
|
After being beaten by Mother Nature last weekend, the Thompson Int’l
Speedway is once again ready for the running of the 36th annual XTRA MART
World Series of Speedway Racing. This racing spectacle will feature fifteen
divisions of racing over the three-day period of Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the ISMA Super Modifieds top
the bill of exciting, non-stop racing action that has become the hallmark of
the World Series. It is an event that race fans talk about and look forward
to all year long.
“Last weekend the cold, rain and snow made for an impossible
situation. But, this coming weekend is looking good. But, in the event of
weather related problems, we can make adjustments. Over the years, we have
become pretty good at being flexible and being able to rearrange the
schedule short notice. The introduction of the track’s web page has given us
the advantage of keeping race teams and fans informed on an up-to-the-minute
schedule. We urge all involved to keep a close eye on our web site this
weekend in the event that any kind of schedule change is needed. That way
everyone will know exactly what is taking place and when it will be,” said
track owner and promoter, Don Hoenig.
The XTA MART World Series of Speedway Racing is the largest racing
event of its kind anywhere and it attracts hundreds of competitors and
thousands of race fans to Connecticut’s “Quiet Corner” for a weekend of high
speed racing, the drama of championships being won and a tremendous variety
of race cars and race trucks. Add to that the fact that it is southern New
England’s biggest and best party weekend and you’ve got an event like no
other.
The Raceway Restaurant and Lounge is the social center of the
weekend with breakfast served both Saturday and Sunday mornings and a huge
race party Saturday night that will include great food, along with music by
a band and a DJ.
Fans can keep up to date on the entire weekend’s list of events by
visiting the Thompson Speedway’s web page. www.thompsonspeedway.com There
they will find the complete schedule of events along with stories that make
this race event filled with excitement. Thompson’s huge grandstand will open
at 4:30 P.M. on Friday, October 23rd and at 9 A.M. on Saturday and Sunday,
October 24th & 25th.
