Final Kiddie Rides of the Season This Friday at Scotia Speedworld

(Halifax, NS. August 28, 2019) School is about to begin but this Friday kids get to take the front seat at Scotia Speedworld for Kiddie Rides Night in support of Geardrive 2019 sponsored by Spry Bay Campground. Geardrive 2019 is a night of racing in support of the Neurosurgery Kids Fund at the IWK. So gather up the kids and kick-off your long weekend with one of Scotia Speedworld’s most popular events – Kiddie Rides, where kids get the unique opportunity to go for a ride in a racecar with their favourite driver! Kiddie Rides get underway at 7:00 pm sharp so be sure to get there early. Grandstand gates open at 5:00 PM.

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.

Following Kiddie Rides fans will enjoy great racing action from the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series. Heating up the track will be the Strictly Hydraulics Legends, Sportsman and Toursec Thunder & Lightning cars.

Joining track Announcer Tim Terry in the booth Friday evening is Q104 morning show host Bobby MacDonald!

Admission is just $15.00 for Adults; Youth (8-15) are $5.00 and children 7 and under are free. Tickets are available at the gate on race day (cash only).
