FONDA, NY – Let’s try this again.
Despite a valiant effort by speedway management and the track crew on Saturday night, rain nixed Saturday night’s scheduled 74th anniversary point season opener at Fonda Speedway.
Now, attention turns to Saturday, May 3 at the iconic Track of Champions.
The F.X. Caprara Car Companies Thunder on the Thruway Series – now featuring a trio of events at Fonda – kicks off with Round No. 1 on Saturday night.
