Rick Mercer To Race In A Train Set This Weekend At Varney (we got video!)

Guest · 2009-09-02T18:40:34Z

RICK MERCER REPORT COMING TO VARNEY MOTOR SPEEDWAYVarney Motor Speedway is pleased to announce that after years of trying, the producers for The Rick Mercer Report announced this week that they will be at Varney Motor Speedway Saturday September 5th to tape a segment for Rick’s upcoming season.Rick Mercer will find himself in the third car of the black “RMR” Train set as he tries to negotiate the high banks and all the other train sets in what should prove to be an entertaining ride.For those not familiar with the Trains of Varney Speedway each Train consists of three cars, the first having engine steering and brakes, then a three foot chain to the second car which only has steering and brakes then another three foot chain to the third car which again only has steering and brakes. Think of it as a game of crack the whip but only with cars and throw in the tight high banks which have made Varney Speedway famous in Ontario and you have one of the most entertaining races you will ever witness.Mr. Mercer is due to be at the speedway in the afternoon to meet drivers in the Pit area and for a little practice and instruction time for his two big races. If you want to be part of the action the front gates open at 5 PM and the regular racing program kicks off at 7 PM with taping going on throughout the afternoon and evening as Mr. Mercer is also going to go into the stands and meet and talk to spectators also.For full information on Varney Motor Speedway check out the web site at: varneymotorspeedway.com

Just go to the Rick Mercer report website HERE

It won't likely be up tonight, but they always put it up. If you want to root around some older episodes, theres one of him doing Ice Stox somewhere up north.

Just finished watching the segment, it was a cool little segment...would have liked to hear a bit more information about the speedway it's self and such, but never the less...any exposure is good.
