As the winter doldrums shake off, the staff and management are gearing up to open the gates for the 2012 season for the first time on Saturday, April 7th.
The first event of the day will be the first ever Seekonk Speedway Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt is open for all kids under 12. The gates swing open at 8:30, with the hunt beginning at 9am, and ending at 10.
The first practice of the season for Seekonk competitors and others will follow. The gates for the competitors opens at 9am, with rookies hitting the track first at 11am. Competitors from Seekonk, various touring divisions and other tracks in the region are all welcome to take their turn on the 1/3 mile oval, to get ready for their season. With the Nick’s Pit Stop Legend Series coming aboard for 2012, this is a perfect opportunity to get some laps on a track many will be unfamiliar with.
This is the first of 3 practice sessions. The second practice will be on April 21, with the final session to be held on May 5th, for Seekonk competitors only, in conjunction with the second Show and Go Car Show and Drags. This will give the drivers and teams one final chance to be ready for the 67th Opening Day on Sunday, May 6th.
In between, the annual Dubs show will be on Sunday, April 22. This event is open to all VW cars and memorabilia.
