Racing will return to the Saugus Speedway this weekend. Yes folks, there are crashes, but that's not why we think you should pack the track Friday and Saturday. The reason you need to be there is the Child and Family Development Center. The center serves more than 7,000 children and families in the SCV each year by providing counseling for hostile, depressed and suicidal children. They also offer delinquency and substance abuse prevention and child abuse prevention and treatment.
Training is also available for parents and teens.
The center treats Attention Deficit Disorder, too. Racing starts Friday night, but so does the rest of the fun. Larry Dean and the Shooters will perform country-western tunes for your dancing pleasure. The festivities get going again Saturday with remote control cars, a pinewood derby and a model car contest. A tricycle race is also scheduled, along with pony rides, carnival games, a jump house and a dunk tank.
