Saturday night was regular show and one thing that really caught my attention was a school bus driving through the pits. It never got in the way and it didn't go to fast. The bus had all the windows down and there was little heads looking out each window. The track was driving children through the pits so they could see there favorite cars and drivers. The kids even got to ride around the race track. I thought it was a Great idea. You should've seen the pits after the race. Several Parents with children saying. "Can I have your autograph". It was a wonderful sight to see!!!! Its obvious the promoters (Queensland family) know how to create a sucessful product and keep it going for years.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what else the promoters do when the BIG show starts.

Now off to bark some more orders. Haha.

I went to a Summernationals race earlier this year at Kankakee Speedway in Illinois and they had a school bus painted up bright purple with lettering that said Kids Club down the side. The promoters did the same thing, twice during the night in between races the kids got to ride around the track for two laps waving and yelling at the crowd.

It looked like they were having a blast!

The promoters had even sold some advertising space on the bus.

What a great way to get young kids to the race track!
