EASTERN STORM OPENER STOPPED BY WET GROUNDS, NEXT THUNDER EVENT IS PA SPEED WEEK, TUESDAY, JULY 1 AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA    JUNE 17,  2025  . . . . . .  When will Mother Nature give us a break?    The Tuesday, June 17 USAC Eastern Storm and 358 Modified Doubleheader  became just another show of many to be cancelled due to weather conditions.    Extreme wet conditions at the track and a miserable weather day with 93% cloud cover, occasional light mist and no sun is preventing the track crew from starting the preparation.  There is also a concern for spectators walking in the grandstand area with the very wet grounds.    With six consecutive nights of the Eastern Storm there is no opportunity for a rain date.   This is very disappointing for Thunder on the Hill and Grandview Speedway, the originators of the USAC return to Pennsylvania back in 2007.  We hope the weather cooperates for the continuation of the Levan Machine and Truck Equipment Eastern Storm that will visit Bridgeport on Wednesday, Big Diamond on Thursday, Williams Grove Friday, Port Royal Saturday and Action Track USA on Sunday. 

The next  NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill event is set for Tuesday night, July 1 when the Pennsylvania Sprint Speed Week teams up with the 358 Modifieds for a double header.   Gates open at 5 with race time set for 7:30.

We look forward to Alpine Building Supplies being part of this event and hosting the tailgate Party as a pre-race activity.
