Story By: DINO OBERTO / EVERGREEN RACEWAY – BUTLER TOWNSHIP, PA – Evergreen Raceway’s 2-Seater Ride-along returns for another thrilling day on Saturday, October 5, from noon to 4:00 pm and this time around not only will fans once again get to be high-speed passengers but now if they choose they can actually drive the cars themselves.
“This has been part of our intent from the get-go, to not just have the ride-along but also give this unique opportunity to drive an honest to goodness race car at Evergreen,” said track owner/promoter Jason Makarewicz.
“The Ride-along portion of this program has gotten off to a nice start thus far and while it’s still growing we also want to get the next phase underway which is for fans being able to strap into either a Modified or Late Model stock car.”
The Modified drive will be $15 per lap while the Late Model is $10 per lap. All participants will be given in-depth instructions before being cut loose and heading out onto the track.
“We’ve gotten a wonderful response from those who already did the Ride-along and I am certain this will now elevate the thrill of fan experience to the next level,” said Makarewicz.
For those wishing to do the Ride-along the cost is $50. Fans will then take part in a competitive 12-lap run against other cars.
