By Joan Roue, Scotia SpeedworldHALIFAX, NS (2005 August 8) - The inaugural Lockhart Big Rig Show'N'Shine is set for this Friday at Scotia Speedworld as part of the pre-race festivities for The Lockhart Truck Center 100, which is round four of five in the 2005 Sportsman Super Series for the C&R Auto Supply Sportsman division.
"We thought this would be unique and a neat way to let truckers show their rigs up close to people that normally just see them rolling down the highway," said David Lockhart, Dealer Principal of Lockhart Truck Center. "They do similar shows in other places but as far as we know this is the first of its kind in this area."
All truckers are invited to participate and those that do show their trucks between 5 and 7 p.m. will receive admission tickets to Friday nights show at Scotia Speedworld, complements of Lockhart Truck Center. Parking for the Show'N'Shine will commence at 3 p.m. in the main parking lot, directed by attendants.
Just before 7 p.m. the truckers will be lined up and paraded around the race track, kicking off the on track portion of The Lockhart Truck Center 100.
Besides the Big Rig Show'N'Shine, fans that bring a cash or non-perishable food donation for Feed Nova Scotia on Friday will have the chance to be the Grand Marshall for The Lockhart Truck Center 100, giving the start engines command and waving the green flag to start the race.
Truckers that wish to pre-register for the Lockhart Big Rig Show'N'Shine can do so by calling Marilyn at (902) 468-5900.
Qualifying heat races will set the starting grid for The Lockhart Truck Center 100 and the show will also feature racing action with the Miller Tire BFGoodrich Thunder & Lightning Cars and two rounds of qualifying (time trials and heat races) for the pro stock racers competing in Saturday's Atlantic CAT 250.
Once the racing stops Saturday night the party starts with The Atlantic CAT 250 Victory Lane Tailgate Party, featuring the music of popular local musician Paul Eisan and Triumph.
