2018 Family Fun & Thrills Event @ Summit Point Motorsports Park
June 9, 2018 at 11:00 am
We had a fun-filled day at the race track! While pro racers compete during the day, enjoy fresh off the grill BBQ, carnival type activities for kids, local entertainment, and a showcase of race cars from all around the Mid-Atlantic. Ticket prices included access to entertainment, BBQ, and drinks. Ride-alongs with pro racers were available for an additional cost.
Sponsored by TISTA Science and Technology and National Auto Sport Association (NASA), this event’s proceeds contributed to Parents Against Depression’s (PAD) mission to reduce the number of preventable suicides among youth 13 to 30 by increasing awareness, identifying gaps in diagnosis and treatment, and advocating for long-term policy change related to depression.
