As of the writing of this post, Christmas is exactly 58 days away. WHERE did the time go in 2014?!
In the Bristol area, locals have a favorite event associated with the holidays, known as Bristol Motor Speedway "Speedway in Lights". One doesn't have to wait those 58 days to experience it, this great charity event will begin Friday, November 14th @6:00p. Speedway In Lights is a holiday light spectacular, stretching over 4.5miles. More than 2 million lights that brighten the lives of area families and represent a holiday tradition in the Tri-Cities. In 2010 BMS added 300,000 dancing LED lights and created the Symphony of Lights in turns 3 & 4 of the Waltrip Grandstand. No small feat if you've ever visited Bristols Fastest Half Mile Oval! Bristol Speedway Children's Charities was founded in 1996 to help children in the surrounding area of Bristol Motor Speedway by Bruton Smith, Chairman of the Board of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. There is a chapter of Speedway Children's Charities at each of Speedway Motorsports' six motorsports facilities.
In addition to the lights, there are a large variety of other attractions as part of the event; including the region's only ice rink, and 'Chill Hill", 300 ft a tube experience. While the family entertainment is priceless in memories to be made, entry to the event does have a cost, donated to charity of course, of
Cars — $12 Sunday through Thursday • $15 Friday and Saturday • Activity vans — $20 (each night)
Buses — $85 each night.
