Thursday

nights used to be the nights you sat down and watched

NBC's Must See TV lineup.

The

television season is now over and you don't know what

you'll do for excitement. Atlanta Motor Speedway has a

solution: The Thursday Thunder Series.

Thursday

Thunder will bring the six divisions of Legends car

racing to the track every Thursday night from June 10 to

Aug. 12.

There will

be riders from pro, semi-pro, masters, chargers, young

lions, and bandoleros divisions racing for points in the

10-week battle.

Legends

cars are forms of stock cars with motorcycle engines.

This type of racing has inspired all sorts of athletes

and celebrities to enter, like football greats Troy

Aikman and Herschel Walker. It is a very attractive form

of racing because it is fairly inexpensive and very

fast-paced and exciting.

Gates open

at 6 p.m, with heat races beginning at 6:30 p.m. and

feature races starting at 7:45 p.m. Admission is $5 for

adults and $1 for children between 6 and 11. Children

under 5 are admitted free.
