BARRE, Vt. – Thunder Road Int’l Speedbowl and American-Canadian Tour officials have announced that the 41st Coca-Cola Labor Day Classic has been rescheduled for Sept. 14 at 5 p.m.
The event had been postponed this past Sunday following an on-track accident that occurred during qualifying.
As part of the rescheduling, Thunder Road’s Barre Granite Association Championship Night has been moved to Sunday, Sept. 22 at 1:30 p.m. All Thunder Road track champions will be crowned at that event as previously planned.
However, the post-race pit party that was scheduled for Championship Night will remain on Sept. 14 as part of the Labor Day Classic schedule. Thunder Road will now officially celebrate its 60th season of racing following its oldest event – one that began in the track’s inaugural season of 1960.
Much of the Coca-Cola Labor Day Classic remains to be completed. Several qualifying races are still on tap of the ACT Late Model Tour and Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying Tigers. They’ll be followed by the Labor Day Classic 200, the 50-lap Flying Tiger feature, and the 50-lap Burnett Scrap Metals Road Warrior Challenge.
All general admission tickets and pit bracelets from Sept. 1 will be honored at the make-up date. Those who are unable to return on Sept. 14 can mail their tickets or bracelets to the Thunder Road/ACT offices for a full refund. These must be postmarked prior to Sept. 14.
