Thorold, Ontario (August 2) TRW Canada Night at the Thorold track will feature 7 divisions of racing action as two special events will compliment the DIRT Weekly Racing Series card of L. St. Amand Enterprises 358 Modifieds, Original Pizza Logs Sportsmen, Lucas Open Wheel Lites, Hoosier Stocks and the Turn 4 Collision 4 Cylinders.
Meridian Credit Union Kid’s Club members will make up a 6th division of racing as the second annual Box Car Race joins the Weekly Racing Series at Merrittville Speedway Saturday August 11th and the 7th will close the night as the third and final Enduro Qualifier is set to unleashed.
“The kids efforts just continue to amaze us,” relates Bicknell, adding “ they put an awful lot of time and effort into them … cars come from all divisions … we’ll just have to wait and see.”
Although an official Kid’s Club Event – any younger race fan is eligible to enter a box car. Information on the vent is available on line at merrittvillespeedway.com or from Kid’s Club behind the turn 4 grandstands prior to race time in the Kid’s Club Area. The Meridian Credit Union Kids Club is set up opposite the Canadian Custom Fabricating and Ball Hockey International Billboards.
Contestants can use their own box or can pick up one when available from the Speedway .
The TRW Special Event will also have a 7th division as Round Two for Saturday Night Live Enduro enthusiasts rounds out the schedule.
“With the addition of the Enduro,” adds Bicknell, “ we don’t know what to expect there either … the June Boltworks event was such a success … and you couldn’t have had more entertainment.”
Prior to race time, kids will put on their Hoosier Tire ponchos to paint an Enduro Car.
Saturday August 11th’s Saturday Night Live Enduro is open to drivers of all levels. The field will include some of our current and former DIRT Weekly Racing Series Stock car competitors … entries that have run this type of event before and others who are doing it for the very first time.
In the end though it is more survival than experience that counts.
