Waterbury, VT –Thunder Road International Speedbowl has been supported by hometown Barre, Vermont fans for over 52 years. Now one of the most well-known short tracks in North America is going to give back on Sunday, June 12.
“We are inviting Barre flood victims to ‘take a break’ and join us on Sunday, June 12. The clean-up and sorrow from the most devastating floods since 1927 have shown what a resilient town Barre is. The people and city will bounce back. The folks of Barre have helped Thunder Road through some tough times over the years, and we wanted to give back in a small way. We hope a few hours of fun will be our way of saying thanks to our neighbors”, said Tom Curley co-owner of Thunder Road with Ken Squier. (more…)
