Scotia Speedworld Giving Green Flag to Reduced Racing Season August 9, 2020 Regional Scotia Speedworld will present the CARSTAR Weekly Racing series starting on Friday, August 14. Racing will continue through to Friday, September 11. There are no rain dates. Due to COVID-19 restrictions on the number of people gathering, the Main Grandstands will be closed. The Pit area will be for drivers, crews, and reduced Scotia Speedworld staff only. Everyone in the Pit area must wear a mask and social distancing. Crew members are to disinfect tools after each use if used by more than one person. Public Health has created these rules and we want to do our part fighting the Pandemic by following them. The Public Health restriction on the number of people that can gather outside has forced us to change some things. Drivers will receive the normal payout; however, trophies will not be given out, nor will points be awarded. Ticket price is $30 per person. 2020 Registered teams must register by email to admin@scotiaspeedworld.ca by Monday noon of each race week. Each team can register four people (includes driver). We can accept 225 drivers and crew. The remaining portion of the 250 will be Staff. The names and contact numbers for the four people must accompany the registration request. Successful entries will receive confirmation. Full payment must be received before Wednesday at noon of the race week. E-Transfer is the preferred method of payment as it is a touchless process. Registrations will be accepted to ensure each division has a suitable number of entrants. I.E. one division has three cars registered and another has 20 cars. Sportsman cars, Strictly Hydraulics Legend cars, TOURSEC Thunder and Lightning cars and Bandolero Cars will race with four of the five divisions racing each week. Race dates are: Friday Aug 14 – Sportsman, Legends, Thunder, Lightning Friday, Aug 21 – Legend, Thunder, Lightning, Bandolero Friday, Aug 28 – Sportsman, Thunder, Lightning, Bandolero Friday, Sep 4 – Sportsman, Legend, Lightning, Bandolero Friday, Sep 11 – Sportsman, Legend, Thunder, Bandolero Pit Gate opens at 4:30 pm, with racing starting at 7:00 pm. Asphalt pit stalls for Sportsman and Legend cars will be provided on a “first come first serve” basis on race day, for those who desire asphalt. Keep in mind we have less spots available because of distancing requirements. Scotia Speedworld wants to provide our teams with some racing in the 2020. The goal is to allow the teams to race and meet obligations they may have with their sponsors. It is also a salute to our sponsors who have stuck with us during this pandemic. Monetarily speaking, no one would plan for a season like we are experiencing. No one dreamed we would be still under these restrictions when COVID-19 hit back in the spring. We are playing the hand that was dealt to us. We will race for the love of the sport and the thrill of competing and to kick COVID-19 in the rear-end.
