Final Kiddie Rides Night at Scotia Speedworld for the 2009 Season

HALIFAX, NS (September 1, 2009) – It’s Kiddie Rides Night at Scotia Speedworld again!  With the new school season about to begin, kids will love the chance to take a ride around the track with their favorite driver. In addition to all of the fun for the kids, fans will also see great racing action from the following five divisions: Sojourn Signs Bandoleros, Miller Tire Thunder and Lightning cars, Lockhart Truck Center Hobby Stocks, and the C&R Auto Supply Sportsman. Kiddies Rides start at 7:00pm sharp and racing will immediately follow.  Main gates open at 5:00pm and the Strictly Hydraulic Pits open at 4:00pm.

For the past several years, Kiddie Rides have been a summer highlight for many children! Racers from each of four divisions (C&R Auto Supply Sportsman, Lockhart Truck Center Hobby Stocks, and Miller Tire Thunder & Lightning Cars) will bring their racecars to the front stretch and park. The gate is then opened so the children can pick the car they want a ride in. Once the kids are securely inside the cars the Forbes Chevrolet pace car will lead the cars around the track for a few laps of fun!

Admission for Kiddie Rides Night and the Weekly Racing Series is $12.00 for adults; $2.00 for youth aged 8-15; children 7 and under are admitted free. All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Pit admission is $15.00 and restricted to those 16 and older.  Tickets are available at the gate on race day.
