BURNSIDE: The doggies and kitties and other animals at the N.S. SPCA in Burnside are going to get some extra help next weekend.

The help will come from fans and a horsepower of a different kind at the East Coast International Pro Stock Tour’s SummerClash250 presented by Atlantic Tiltload and Superior Foundations at Scotia Speedworld.

The weekend of race action kicks off Thursday Aug. 8 with a food truck rally, antique car show, and music from Jon Cyr before going into on track racing Aug. 9 and the SummerClash 250 on Saturday afternoon.

Two drivers, Jarrett Butcher the points leader and Gage Gilby, the top rookie in the series, stopped by the SPCA on July 31 to have some fun with the doggies.

Gilby and some tour officials got to check out the kitties that the SPCA have as well.

Butcher, Gilby, and tour officials were able to hear from the SPCA on what their needs are.

They will be at the track all weekend collecting, so race fans bring what you can (see list below the video story link), and let’s help the SPCA being able to take care of those kitties and doggies in their care.

Here is the video story from the visit with the doggies outside as shot by Matt Dagley and sponsored by CKG Elevator.
