Wingless 600cc Micro-Sprints will also be featured on the program, paying $1,000 to the winner for 20 laps of racing. Drivers will be permitted to compete in both the winged and wingless 600cc Micro-Sprint events but will need to enter each division separately.

The 270cc winged Micro-Sprints will compete for a $500 winner’s share (minimum 15 cars) running a 20-lap feature.

Doug Borger’s XCel 600 Modifieds, now a regular weekly division at Thunder Mountain and neighboring I-88 Speedway in Afton, N.Y., will be featured in a weekend doubleheader of “tour” events competing at Thunder Mountain Saturday-Sunday May 2-3.

The popular Speedway Entertainment Slingshots make their only stop of the season at Thunder Mountain with a 20-lap, $500-to-win special. The event is part of the All-Star Slingshot tour, offering MA/Gold and Empire State points.

Also on the program are the Empire Lightning Sprint 1000cc Mini-Sprints. Like the XCel 600 Modifieds, the Empire Lightning Sprints will be in competition both Saturday and Sunday May 2-3 at Thunder Mountain.

All divisions will be eligible for bonuses from Vahlco Racing Wheels. The winged and wingless 600cc Micro-Sprints, 270cc Micro-Sprints and 1000cc Micro-Sprints, via a drawing of the top-10 finishers, will be eligible for FREE wheels.
