Brian Mady states “ When Doug had announced the addition of Thunder Mountain, I know a lot of drivers were excited. We have run a 50 lap feature with many drivers worried about fuel, which was not a problem, so to run a 30 lap feature with no fuel issues, I know the drivers will put on one heck of a show”.

Doug Borger is pleased to announce the expansion of the 600 modified series. Bob Tim ,owner of Oakridge Fabrications, located in Minnesota, has established a western division. He was a dealer for another small car series but after seeing how economical the series is decided to branch out. “A big part of the decision process was the weekly expenses, motor cost, service and support that Doug would be able to offer”, Bob stated, I look forward to working with him in the future and expanding to become one of the premier series out west.
October will finish out the year for the Hoosier Tire 600 modifeds. A howling good time will be had at Grandview Speedway on the 18th for the final Thunder on the Hill series then it’s back up to New York state for a double feature night at Five Mile Point Speedway for their National Quarter Mile Dirt Track Championship Weekend on Oct. 25th.
