Arenacross Coming To Sarnia Saturday

Seventy truckloads of dirt are being hauled into Progressive Auto Sales Arena as exciting arenacross motorcycle racing action comes to Sarnia on Saturday.

It's part of the 2018 Rockstar Energy Triple Crown Series, which Brigden's Cole Thompson is currently leading.

Event spokesman Kyle Thompson says it'll be a great night for the whole family.

"On TV, it just doesn't do it justice," says Thompson. "When you see it live, and you hear the bikes and watch the action from your seat, it shows the real speed and height that these guys get. It's impressive."

Thompson says the dirt will be out in plenty of time for Tuesday's Sarnia Sting playoff game against the Kitchener Rangers.

The Rockstar Pit Party kicks off at 6pm and racing begins at 7pm.
