Friday Night Thunder Returns to Knoxdale in 2015

 

Brookville PA, (August 28, 2014)  In recent days the owners of Thunder Mountain Speedway and Bo Lockwood Motorsports have reached a five year agreement to return racing to the Knoxdale oval. The track will be slated to start early 2015 with a full race schedule on the menu. Although racing classes have yet to be decided, the focus will be turning this facility into something new. “It’s a promoter’s job to come up with new concepts that will keep its drivers and fans interest. We will work hard to deliver a program that is directed away from the “norms” of plain weekly programs.” Says new track promoter Bo Lockwood.  

 

A complete renovation is planned for the Knoxdale facility. Headed by Brooks services LLC the race surface will see a facelift. The track will be reconstructed as needed, screened and re clayed, new drainage to allow for a magnitude of precipitation on race day, pit reconstruction, and a complete overhaul of the grandstand area.  Reconstruction will begin immediately, as well as, construction of all social media outlets to allow for drivers and fans to view progress.   

 

The 2015 race season has a lot of “new” in store for it. The track promoter’s mission is to personally contact local race tracks to work on ways to make running at multiple facilities less of a problem and more enjoyable for drivers. Bo Lockwood explains, “This will be an awesome way to spend a Friday night! Not only will the drivers and teams enjoy our great track but my goal is to also create a fan experience like none other in local dirt track racing. This will be the place to bring your family to eat and enjoy a Friday night  of Pennsylvania racing!

Now THAT sounds like a plan. Best of luck. With this type of attitude there should be no problem getting support. I hope the other tracks are as willing to work with you.

It's off exit 86 of I-80 then back in the middle of nowhere. I believe thunder mtn was it's only name but could be wrong.

In the town of knoxdale, but close to brookville if you're looking for a more familiar town to get an idea.
