CORNING, NY -- Thunder Mountain Speedway (Center Lisle, NY) has been
added to the schedule, on August 8.
“Originally, Dick Stark had discussed running a two night event,
Thunder
on Friday, then Skyline on Saturday with a pit party between the
events,” Warren said. “Teams were split 50\50 about the deal, and
the
Tour has decided to side with caution to make sure teams had the best
opportunity to make both shows.
Stark offered use of his shop should anyone need it, but some things
that just cant be replaced overnight and that influenced the decision.
"We are still entertaining the idea of a sponsor for both events,"
Warren said.
Back-to-back events were appealing; should someone win both races, talk
of a bonus program made the pendulum swing the opposite way.
"We want to try and help these two great tracks co-exist, " Warren
said, pointing out Thunder Mountain has moved to Friday nights to work
with and help promote action at Skyline.
"I am excited about being able to go to Skyline AND Thunder this year,"
Warren continued. "Frank and Audrey have worked with us to make this
race happen, and we hope to put on a better show than the last time the
trucks were invited up several years ago. Both tracks are fast and
smooth, and offer enough room for some great 3 wide racing."
Scheduling these events later in the season will hopefully avoid the
iffy early season weather; last year's feature at Thunder Mountain fell
to a rain out.
