Mud-slinging, methanol fueled, high-flying Sprint Cars will come to Vermont\u2019s Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway on Saturday, October 18 with the Bond Auto Parts Sprint Cars of New England series. SCoNE organizers Mike Kondrat and Si Allen had been searching for a new northeastern venue to add to their growing tour\u2019s schedule, and are looking forward to the challenge that Devil\u2019s Bowl will bring.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be going to Devil\u2019s Bowl,\u201d Kondrat said. \u201cThat\u2019s a track that I had always wished that SCoNE had raced at years ago. Our tour has only ever run on quarter-miles, but some of our veterans have high-speed experience at places like Lebanon Valley, Utica-Rome, and Charlotte. It will be nice to have leaders who can guide our younger drivers, but they\u2019re all fearless anyway. They should put on quite a show on that big half-mile.\u201d Devil\u2019s Bowl Speedway is located on Route 22A in West Haven, VT, four miles north of Exit 2 on U.S. Route 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [nggallery id=173] Sprint Cars of New England to make first half-mile appearance October 18 WEST HAVEN, VT \u2013 The winged warriors are back.
