Thorold, Ontario (August 4) Merrittville Speedway’s Lucas Oil Weekly Racing Series Race Teams are no doubt busy preparing for the CMH Sales and Leasing Night Saturday August 6th after a busy weekend of local racing.
So too are members of the Thorold Track’s PartSource Kids Club as one of their biggest events is up next on the schedule with CMH Sales and Leasing Night also including Box Car Races.
“No doubt many have already started on their creations and believe me … the kids are quite creative,” prides (Merrittville GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, “there are 3 age groups and one entry will be picked as best of show!”
Box car racing affords the opportunity for all kids – not just the members of the 2011 PartSource Kids Club to race on the front-stretch of the d-shaped oval with very little cost or work. All you need is a box … put a hole in the top for their body to fit through … paint and decorate it like your favourite race car and you’re ready to race.
For 2011’s event … parents will once again become more involved as the children start at one end of the track, run to a predetermined point where their adult crew member is waiting. The crew member takes a shoe off, puts the shoe back on -simulating a pit stop with a tire change.
Once the pit work is completed, the child runs back to the original starting point with the winners receiving a trophy.
“This is a great chance for the parent and child to work together,” adds Kid’s Club Director Mike Barnett, “they can build their box together and then work together in the race.”
“It’s shaping up to be quite a night,” boasts Bicknell-Jones, “our 5 stock car divisions and the kid’s races … if there is a night not to miss this season – it’s this one!.”
