Fans of motorsport are in for a treat this month, with the Inaugural Stratford Park Motorfest and Swap Meet rolling into town.
Holly Sutich, Stratford Park project manager, says the event is a fundraiser for the Stratford Park project.
“We’re excited to bring this event to Stratford. It will be a fundraiser for what will be an awesome facility in the centre of Stratford.”
She says the event, sponsored by Max Pennington’s AutoCity, will be fun for everyone with historic speedway demonstrations and lawn mower races planned throughout the day.
“The Historic Speedway demonstration will include TQ midgets, midgets, sprint cars and historic stockcars. Also on display will be Historic Speedway vehicles from Waiwakaiho Speedway and solos and sidecars. Lawn mower racing will be happening on the grass inside the Speedway track, as competitors go for first place around an L-shaped course. Lawn mower racing uses your everyday ride-on lawn mower, with safety features incorporated – and without the cutting blades of course.”
