By: Ron Szczerba
FONDA, NY – The first of five Go Green NMX Fonda Thunder Series events for the Modifieds will take place this Saturday, May 24 at 6:00 p.m. at the Track of Champions Fonda Speedway with a 40-lap $4,000 to win event. All other divisions will also be in action on Saturday along with double features in the Sportsman division due to a curfew delayed event back on May 10.
The other four Go Green NMX Series events will take place on Saturday, June 21 at 6:00 p.m. (40-lap $4,000 to win), Saturday, July 26 at 6:00 p.m. (50-lap $5,000 to win), Tuesday, August 5 at 7:00 p.m. (60-lap $6,000 to win), and Sunday, September 21 at 2:00 p.m. (100-lap $9,500 to win).
If one driver is fortunate enough to win all five events that would be a total of $28,500 in winnings. There will also be a separate set of points kept for the series with a point champion being crowned at the end of the season.
Look for Brett Hearn to be one of those drivers going for the top prize in the series as he has committed to running all five events along with all of the Fonda regulars including defending Track Champion Matt DeLorenzo, Bobby Varin, Jack and Ronnie Johnson, Pat Ward, A.J. Romano, Dave Camara, Dave Lape, Ryan Odasz, Craig Hanson, and many others.
“Right now we are committed to a point championship payout for the series of $4,000 for first, $3,000 for second, and $1,500 for third but we will try to build on the point fund as other sponsors commit to the series to make the point fund as attractive as possible,” promoter Ric Lucia said.
Admission prices at the front gate for the racing event this Saturday will be $12. People will be able to turn in their wristbands from the rain out on May 17 to get $2 off of the general admission prices at both the front and the back gates.
Be sure to come to the Track of Champions in 2008 to “Feel the Thunder”. Fonda Speedway is located off of exit 28 of the New York State Thruway. For more information you can call (518) 382-3115 Monday through Friday, (518) 853-4235 on race day or you can go to their website at www.fondaspeedway.com
