Final Kiddies Rides of 2016 This Friday at Scotia Speedworld August 31, 2016 Regional Gather up the kids and kick-off your weekend with one of Scotia Speedworld’s most popular events this Friday – Kiddie Rides, where kids get the opportunity to go for a ride in a racecar with their favourite driver. Kiddie Rides get underway at 7:00 pm sharp so be sure to get there early. Grandstand gates open at 5:00 PM. 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 from five CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series divisions. Heating up the track will be the Coors Light Trucks, Strictly Hydraulics Legends, Affordable Fuels Sportsman and Toursec Thunder & Lightning. Admission is just $14.00 for Adults; Youth (8-15) are $4.00 and children 7 and under are free. Tickets are available at the gate on race day (cash only).
