Halifax, NS. (August 2, 2017) Scotia Speedworld’s CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series is proud to present KIDS RACE on behalf of the Canadian National Autism Foundation (CNAF).

The CNAF will be at Scotia Speedworld on Friday night with information on their foundation as five divisions of race cars battle. On track this week are the Hydraulics Plus Bandoleros, Toursec Lightning cars, Strictly Hydraulics Legends, Pulse Heavy Duty Trucks and the Affordable Fuels Sportsman. Adult admission is just $15.00; Youth (8-15) are $5.00 and children 7 and under are free…all summer long! Tickets are available at the gate on race day (cash only). Grandstand gates open at 5:00 PM with racing action slated to get underway at 7:00 PM.

“KIDS RACE was started in 2010 as an idea to create a new platform for autism research and awareness” said the President of the CNAF, Tina Fougere. “It wasn’t too long after speaking and working alongside track owners, officials, drivers, crews and fans across the country that a common bond was formed. We realized that passion, dedication, family and the love for what we do, was something we all shared. KIDS RACE is all about having family fun for a great cause and accepting our loved ones with autism. We couldn’t ask for a better place in Nova Scotia to host our family event than with the wonderful people at Scotia Speedworld who have opened their doors, but most importantly their hearts, to our cause.”

Please note Kids Race is not an actual race, it is just a name the CNAF uses to brand their events at race tracks across the country. On track action will be the same as every other Weekly Racing Series event.

Travis Roma (West Chezzetcook) took home the biggest win of his Affordable Fuels Sportsman career one week ago with his victory in the 23rd Annual Shriners Classic. Roma also took the point lead in the class back from Jordan Veinotte (Porter’s Lake) with Veinotte’s fourth place finish. The Eastern Shore boys lead Matt Vaughan (Fletchers Lake), Alex Johnson (Enfield) and Chris Dingle (Elmsdale) in the Affordable Fuels Sportsman division heading into Friday night’s Canadian National Autism Foundation KidsRace.

Josh Langille (Coldbrook; Hydraulics Plus Bandolero Outlaw), Nathan Langille (Coldbrook; Hydraulics Plus Bandolero Bandit), Brooke Dowe (Bedford; Hydraulics Plus Bandolero Beginner), Scott Thibodeau (Williamswood; Toursec Lightning), Dan Smith (Lower Sackville; Pulse Heavy Duty Trucks) and Paul Goulden (Shelburne; Strictly Hydraulics Legends) lead their respective divisions into battle on Friday as the point leaders in the CARSTAR Weekly Racing Series.
