Kawartha Speedway: Wednesday Night Thunder Rumbles 'Round the Racetrack

By Jim Clarke, Kawartha Speedway PR/Clarke Motorsports Communications

With weather so much of a story throughout the current motorsports season, Kawartha Speedway will unleash a little on-track electricity of its own Wednesday, August 13th.

For just the second time in the track’s history, Kawartha will host a mid-week event.  On the schedule will be extra-distance feature races for the Limited late Models – 75 laps.  The Better Floorz Thunder Cars – 50 laps and the Discount Car and Truck Rental Mini Stocks for 40 laps.  “With a couple of off nights in August (the 1st and 15th) we feel we owe it to our fans to give them an extra night of racing,” explained general manager and promoter Derek Lynch.  The point battles in each of Kawartha Speedway’s 4 classes are tighter than ever and with just 5 Friday night shows remaining on the schedule, every division’s championship is still up for grabs.   

To make-up for an earlier rain-out – on Friday, July 18th – Kawartha Speedway’s Fan Appreciation Night has been re-scheduled for Friday, September 12th.

Pit gates open for all shows at 3:00, with spectator seating and rotating on-track practise for all divisions available at 5:00.  For full details on the 2008 schedule – including the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Dodge Charger 250 Saturday, September 27th – see www.kawarthaspeedway.com .  Kawartha Speedway is located near the intersections of highways 28 and the 35/115, just minutes south of Peterborough.
