KIDDIE RIDES and DOUBLE SPORTSMAN FEATURES ON DECK FOR WEEKLY RACING SERIES

Track Release/Photo by WingNut Productions

(HALIFAX, NS – August 31, 2022) – The CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series continues this Friday night with all divisions on the racing card. Fans will also be treated to a held over feature for the Fleet Brake Atlantic Sportsman. Kiddie Rides will also take place Friday evening, so gather up the kids and kick-off Labour Day weekend with one of Scotia Speedworld’s most popular events where kids get the unique opportunity to go for a ride in a race car with their favourite driver!

The format for Kiddie Rides is simple and safe. Drivers bring their cars to the front stretch and park. Once all engines are stopped, the grandstand gate is opened and children come onto the track and climb into their favorite car.  When all children are safely in the cars the drivers are led around the track at a safe speed by the pace car. After a few laps, the cars are stopped; the children climb out and proceed back to their seats in the grandstand to enjoy the rest of the night’s events. Kiddie Rides start at 7:00pm sharp so be sure to arrive early.

Admission for the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series is $20 for adults, $5 for youth (8-15yrs), children seven and under are free all season at Scotia Speedworld! Grandstands open at 5:00PM, racing will commence as soon as Kiddie Rides are complete. For more information on this event or the 2022 season please visit www.scotiaspeedworld.ca
