The Jim Hallahan 250 presented by Nova Truck Centres and Lucas Oil will be hosted at Scotia Speedworld on Saturday, September 12th at 3:00pm. Like a good race finish it came down to the wire, but Scotia Speedworld has just been approved to host 1250 fans from Public Health. The Jim Hallahan 250 will be the first large gathering event held in Nova Scotia since the onset of COVID-19 in March. Tickets for the Jim Hallahan 250 are $40.00 in advance, $45.00 at the door (cash only). Youth tickets, 15 years and under are $15.00. Advance tickets will be available online only (service charges will apply) at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/120064170165/. Tickets will go on sale at 9:00am on Friday and end at 11:00am on Saturday. There is a maximum of 10 tickets per transaction. If there are any tickets remaining, we will advise on social media and those tickets will be available at the gates on Saturday starting at 12:00noon. Things will look a little different for fans on Saturday as there will be five pods (sections) of seating. Each pod must enter and exit through their designated gate. Masks are mandatory, anyone without a mask will be denied entry into the venue. Social distancing measures will also be enforced for the safety of all involved. The event is a tribute to Jim Hallahan, 90, who has seen a career in stock car racing lasting over seven decades. Hallahan, originally from Clarkson, Ontario, started his racing career on his home province short tracks and became one of the top drivers in Canada, moving to Nova Scotia in 1970 to drive ‘The Hugger’ for his new employer, Forbes Chev Olds in Dartmouth. He drove until the early 80s when he was a founding member of the MASCAR Tour. As President of that series he took it to the top of Canadian stock car racing. As recently as last year, Hallahan was still travelling to the races as a member of the management team for the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour. He is one of only seven Maritimers who has been inducted to both the Canadian and Maritime Motorsports Halls of Fame. Competitors in the Jim Hallahan 250 will be vying for a piece of the $65,000+ purse along with many other cash contingencies. The Toursec Lightning cars will open the show with a 30-lap feature.
