DARTMOUTH DODGE SPORTSMAN READY
TO BATTLE IN THE 21ST ANNUAL
SHRINER’S CLASSIC
(Halifax, NS. July 21, 2015) The 21st Annual Shriner’s Classic for the Dartmouth Dodge Sportsman is set for Friday night at Scotia Speedworld. The Shriner’s Classic is the longest active running race in consecutive years in Atlantic Canada with its 21st edition taking place this Friday. In addition to the 50 lap Sportsman feature fans will also enjoy great racing from the Coors Light Trucks, Chickenburger Thunder & Lightning cars and the Strictly Hydraulics Legends. Gates open at 5:00PM, racing starts at 7:00PM.
The first annual Shriner’s Classic was held in 1995 as a Street Stock race and was later transferred to the Sportsman class when the Street Stock division was dissolved. Many of the region’s short track stars have won the prestigious race, including the late Terry Roma, who went to victory lane in the event three times. Jeff Dillman bested Roma’s record in 2014 with his fourth Classic victory.
Scotia Speedworld and the Dartmouth Shrine Club have raised over $305,000 since 1988, with proceeds going to the Shriner’s Burn Hospital and the IWK Remedial Seating Program. Be sure to pick up your 50/50 tickets at the track on Friday night and support these two worthy children’s charities.
