Barre, VT – Barre’s Thunder Road International Speedbowl has recently announced the return of the Run-What-U-Brung event on Aaron’s Sales and Lease night, Thursday, August 12. The semi-annual event gives fans a chance to feel what it’s like to race around the 1/4-mile highbanked speedbowl in their personal vehicle.

The event features single lap elimination match races between two street-legal cars at a time. Drivers must wear a helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants while they wheel their currently registered and inspected vehicle door handle-to-door handle with their competition. Elimination events will be run until one driver is left standing and crowned the 2010 Run-What-U-Brung Champion.


The first fifty (50) entries will be accepted for the Run-What-U-Brung next Thursday, August 12 for Aaron’s Sales and Lease night. Entries will only be accepted at the track on the day of the event beginning at 4:00pm. Competitors must register at the pit gate with their vehicle by 6:00pm. All competitors must be 18 years of age or older.

Thunder Road’s Late Models, Bond Auto Tiger Sportsmen, Allen Lumber Street Stocks and Junkyard Warriors will run regular events as well. Post time is 6:30pm.
