Ring in Summer with Kiddie Rides at Scotia Speedworld!(Halifax, NS – June 23, 2010) School is out and summer is finally here, which means it must be Kiddie Rides night at Scotia Speedworld! This Friday is the first of only two Kiddie Rides events this year. Kiddie Rides have become one of Scotia Speedworld most popular events during the season. Prior to Weekly Racing Series action, kids will have the opportunity to go for a ride in a racecar with their favorite driver! Gates open at 5:00 pm; Kiddie Rides start at 7:00pm sharp, so be sure to get there early! Weekly Racing Series action will immediately follow Kiddie Rides. 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 five divisions. First up are the Hydraulics Plus Bandoleros, followed by the Trucks and Sportsman divisions, and finally the Tirecraft lightning and Thunder cars. Admission for 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.
