Kiddie Rides and Laker News Night Up Next for CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series

(Halifax, NS - June 28, 2023) - Kids get to take the front seat at Scotia Speedworld this Friday night! Kiddie Rides are 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! So, gather up the kids and kick-off your Canada Day weekend in style!

In addition to Kiddie Rides fans will also be treated to an evening of high-octane racing from the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series. On track Friday are the Maritime Auto Glass Outlaw Bandolero cars, Strictly Hydraulics Legends, Toursec Mini Stocks and the Bay Equipment Rentals Sportsman.

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, 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 show.

Kiddie Rides start at 7:00pm sharp so be sure to arrive early.

Scotia Speedworld will also be playing host to our friends at the Laker News on Friday night!

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.

The 36th season of the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series promises to be a thrilling one, with a full schedule of events planned throughout the summer months. For more information on upcoming races and events, visit www.scotiaspeedworld.ca, or follow us on social media @SSWRACING.
