Report Card Night Next Up at Scotia Speedworld!

HALIFAX, NS – June 29, 2010) Kids grab your parents and your report card and head to Scotia Speedworld this Friday night.  The First 150 kids who present their report card at the grandstand gates will receive a coupon for a free meal at Boston Pizza! Please note these coupons will not be available at the pit gates. In addition to the free grub, fans will be treated to a full schedule of racing courtesy of the Weekly Racing Series. Five classes of hotrods will see action this Friday night at the 3/10 mile oval. Gates open at 5:00 pm; racing gets underway at 7:00 pm.

First up on the race card is the Hydraulics Plus Bandolero division. Emily Meehan (Rawdon) currently sits atop the Bandolero championship points standing, just two points in front of Cole Butcher (Porters Lake).  The brand new Truck division will follow the Bandoleros on Friday night. Out of the seven Truck races this season, there have been four different winners in their first four races, which is making the Trucks a very exciting class to watch.  Next up are the Legends; the top three in this class are separated by a mere 2 points!  The Sportsman will be the next to see action at Scotia on Friday. Darren Wallage (Oakfield) and Steve Ross (Waverly) have been battling for the checkers week in and week out, with rookie Mike Alexander (Cole Harbour) not far behind. Finally the Tirecraft Lightning class will end the night’s event and this division is turning into a battle of former division champions. Will a former champ win this week? You’ll have to come to the show to find out!

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.
