CENTER LISLE, NY- September 18, 2016- Due to a threatening, wet forecast for Sunday, the MjH Oilfield Wade Decker Memorial at Thunder Mountain Speedway has been rescheduled for Friday, September 23.
The event will be headlined by the penultimate round of the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By VP Halmar International North Region, as the big-block/small-block Modified competitors battle in a 50-lap event offering $5,000-plus to win plus bonuses.
Also on the card: Crate 602 Sportsman, Street Stocks and now the Open Sportsman, replacing the XCel 600 Modified tour race.
The rescheduling of this event was made possible when, earlier on Saturday, I-88 Speedway in Afton, N.Y., management announced plans to cancel its ‘Fall 250’ weekend scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
The time schedule has been adjusted for Friday.
Pit gates will open at 3 p.m. Grandstand gates will unlock at 4 p.m. Hot laps will get underway at 6 p.m., with racing at 7 p.m.
