Let’s Try Again: Thunder on the Thruway Series Kicks Off May 3 at Fonda

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. Higher-paying events are on the docket for the Amsterdam Truck Center Modifieds, Swagger Factory Apparel Sportsman and Leatherstocking Credit Union Pro Stocks.

· Swagger Factory Apparel Sportsman – 25 laps, $1,500 to win

· Leatherstocking Credit Union Pro Stock – 20 laps, $1,000 to win

A three-race point series will be maintained for the 2025 Thunder on the Thruway mini-series.

Track points will kick off for each of the speedway’s weekly divisions including the Modifieds, Sportsman, Pro Stocks, Montgomery County Office for Aging Inc. Limited Sportsman and Fonda Fair Four Cylinders. Mohawk Valley Vintage Dirt Modifieds will be back in a make-up event from last Saturday.
