Thunder Road International Speedbowl is known across the country for hosting marquee short track stock car racing events like the Vermont Governor’s Cup 150, the Labor Day Classic 200, and the Milk Bowl. Once a year, though, the sleek, high-performance American-Canadian Tour Late Models get put on the shelf and the rusty old relics found in just about any back yard in Vermont put on a show known as the Enduro. Nearly 100 cars that were at one time (mostly) street-legal converge on the tiny, high-banked quarter-mile, lined up bumper-to-bumper and three abreast, stretching from the entrance of the first turn down the frontstretch, and around the fourth and third turns. The caution flag gets put away for the night, and the race is only stopped if someone is upside down, on fire, or bleeding from a main artery. It’s fairly common knowledge around central Vermont that being associated with the Enduro is the most fun anyone can have with their clothes on. Often referred to as “The People’s Race,” Thunder Road’s Enduro runs rain or shine.
