Vermont Milk Bowl Postponed
to October 16 and 17
Thunder Road and American-Canadian
Tour (ACT) officials have postponed the
Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk Bowl
until October 16 and 17 due to an inclement
weather outlook. Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk
Bowl Qualifying Day will be held on
Saturday, October 16 with the 59th Vermont
Milk Bowl on Sunday, October 17 on
FloRacing.
Officials had previously cancelled the
Qualifying Day activities scheduled for
October 2 on account of rain. The forecast for
Sunday, October 3 wasn’t much better, with
most outlets calling for a 60% chance of
showers throughout the morning and afternoon.
Based on this forecast, it was determined
the track could not reasonably condense
both the Saturday and Sunday cards
into one day.
As such, both Milk Bowl programs will
now be run in full on October 16 and 17. The
event schedule and divisions remain the same
apart from the date change. Due to the
rescheduling, the Flying Tiger Oxford Open
that was scheduled for October 16 has been
cancelled.
All advance tickets and three-day pit passes
will be honored at the make-up events. If
anyone with advance tickets or a three-day pit
pass cannot attend on the new dates, please
call the Thunder Road/ACT offices at (802)
244-6963 ext. 4 or email tb@thunderroadvt.
com for further information.
“Unfortunately, crowning the 59th Milk
Bowl champion will have to wait two more
weeks,” Thunder Road/ACT managing partner
Cris Michaud said. “We might have been
able to squeeze in just the original Sunday
events based on the forecast, but not both
day’s events. The teams and fans deserve to
get a full Milk Bowl in, and postponing is the
only sure way to give them that.”
“We also apologize to the Flying Tiger
teams that were looking forward to going to
Oxford,” Michaud continued. “There was
going to be a schedule conflict unless we
waited until the end of October, and we
decided we couldn’t risk that based on past
history with Northeast weather. Tom
Mayberry of Oxford was very understanding
of the situation and of us needing to prioritize
the Milk Bowl on our schedule, and we thank
him for that.”
Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk
Bowl Weekend resumes Saturday, October 16
at 1:00 p.m. with Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk
Bowl Qualifying Day. The Maplewood/Irving
Oil Late Models will run time trials and
50-lap qualifying races to help set the Milk
Bowl starting field. The Lenny’s Shoe &
Apparel Flying Tigers and RK Miles Street
Stocks are running group time trials and the
first segment of their Mini Milk Bowls.
Saturday’s card also includes two-segment
Mini Milk Bowls for the Woodsville Guaranty
Savings Bank Strictly Stock Mini’s and Dads
4 By Tool & Supply Kids Trucks of White
Mountain Motorsports Park plus the Junior
Champ Karts.

Vermont Ravens Concluded 15th Season
with a 7-12 loss to the Hartford Colts
The Ravens traveled to Cronin Park,
Hartford, CT for the New England Football
League Championship game of the single A
division of the New England Football League
Saturday, October 9.
Coming off a huge first round play-off win
over the Reapers, winning going away 28-0,
Vermont has been riding high and getting better
as the year progressed and seemed to be
peaking at the right time.
Having lost the first meeting with the Colts
early on, Vermont found it’s groove afterward
and while losing one more game during the
season they did beat Hartford the last game in
overtime 32-26 at home in South Burlington
finishing the season 6-2 while Hartford won
the divisions first seed at 7-1.
This with the first-round play-off game win
over the Reapers and advancing to the
Championship game sets up the rubber match
between the two teams as the tie breaker, and
winner of the trophy for 2021.
Vermont finished the season second with a
final record of 7-3 while the Colts win the
Championship and finish with a record of 9-1.

Concepts Kakuro
Best described as a number
crossword, the task in
Kakuro is to fill all of the
empty square, using numbers
1 to 9, so the sum of
each horizontal lock equals
the number to its left, and
the sum of each vertical
block equals the number
on its top. No number may
be used in the same block
more than once.
