SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD:<\/strong> It was a beautiful sunny Friday night and the crowd turned out in droves for FANFEST at Scotia Speedworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the start of the Bay Equipment Rentals Weekly Racing Series action, fans got to mingle with their favourite drivers who were in attendance at the annual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fans even got to try out the seats in the cars, whether it be a TOURSEC Mini Stock, or a Strictly Hydraulic Legend car, or a Blue Nose Pools Bandolero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many young fans enjoyed every bit of the night, and some even got given stickers from their favourite drivers or autographs on their t-shirts, like some young kids did from Colton Noble and a young girl did from No. 92 Bandolero driver Emma MacMillan of Maitland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After about 35 minutes, fans were asked to lave the track and the cars went back to pit road to get ready for the night of racing action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The racers–for the most part–put on a good show–for the full house of fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track is already looking at FANFEST 2025 and making it better overall for the fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was asos Blue Nose Pools night at the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some photos from FANFEST as snapped by our Pat Healey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
