We have here, at Mrs. Lewers’ Farmhouse, the Sookeini Racetrack, which is being sponsored this year, by Yateman Automotive at Saseenos Shell station.
The track is set up for those who would like to try out their cars on the track for size with zucchini for test runs.
Please call ahead at 250-812-2830.
Cars should be no higher than 11 1/2 inches and no wider than 9 3/8 at the outside of the wheels. Make sure your vehicles are tough enough to withstand a long ride of about 30 feet.
There will be several awards for creativity, speed — of course —size and more. Be creative with design, making sure the height and width requirements are met.
Please call to view the track to help you with your design. There is no entry fee but pre-registration is recommended.
