THOMPSON, CT The consistent predictions of a rain-filled weekend forced Thompson International Speedway officials to reschedule the XTRA MART World Series of Speedway Racing to next weekend. The event schedule for the new dates, October 23, 24, and 25 will be exactly the same as that listed for this weekend.
Thompson track management, after careful consideration of both race teams and fans, made the rescheduling decision at this time in order to give those traveling to Thompson as much notice as possible. “We desperately wanted to run the World Series event this weekend, said track owner, Don Hoenig. But, when virtually every weather forecast is predicting a complete wash out, we felt we had no choice but to move everything to next weekend”.
The three-day XTRA MART World Series of Speedway Racing, featuring all fifteen racing divisions, will get underway on Friday, October 23rd and will continue through Sunday October 25th. The original schedule of events will remain unchanged.
