Waterford Speedbowl has announced a schedule change for its Wednesday, July 3 Wild ‘n Wacky racing program. The original schedule for the event included a fireworks display to conclude the night’s activities. The fireworks have been moved to the
July 31 Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday program due to circumstances out of track
management’s control.
“We regret to inform fans of this news” offered Speedbowl owner and promoter Terry Eames. “We received word that we are unable to have fireworks for our July 3 program. However, we are committed to providing our Wednesday fans with a fireworks show. We’ve announced July 31 as the new date for the show.”
A persistent drizzle and a forecast for heavy rains forced Thompson Speedway management to cancel the race program for Thursday, June 27. Racing will return to the historic 5/8ths mile oval on Thursday, July 11.
