The 11th annual Thunder Bay Truck Centre Dirt Track Nationals kicks off this Friday afternoon at Thunder City Speedway, with racing continuing on Saturday. This popular event will feature various divisions of dirt track cars, including Super Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Modifieds, Hornets and Street Stocks. Competitors are coming from across Northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, and the United States.
The 11th edition of the Thunder Bay Truck Centre Dirt Track Nationals gets underway on Friday afternoon, with the second and final day of racing slated for Saturday afternoon.Track manager Chrissy Swanton-Simpson said that the weekend is a busy one, but everyone at the track is always excited to host the event.
“By the sounds of it, we’re going to have quite a few visitors coming to our track over the weekend and that’s going to be awesome. We’re looking forward to showing everyone what we do here.” “Our average car count on a Wednesday is about 120 cars, so we’re assuming that we’re going to have quite a few more cars coming up here,” Swanton-Simpson said.In addition to having just two days of racing instead of three, the Hornets and Street Stocks divisions are having their events spread out over the weekend.“That’s something that’s very similar with a lot of events that are done at tracks at the end of the year,” Swanton-Simpson said about this year’s format.
“There are so many local businesses that are supporting the drivers, the track and everything that’s involved with it,” Kannegiesser said.
