Bed Race prep 
work underway
for May 24

The talented 'pit crew' from East-Court Ford Lincoln are busy under the hood of the Bed Race beds and building a pace car for this year's races on May 24.  

The staff at East-Court put a lot of time and effort into preparing for the race each year and we're looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us at the 2013 race, returning to Scarborough Town Centre.  

 Be a part of the action! Start a bed race team today and register online or find out how you can be a sponsor for this popular event.

Below, the pace bed is under construction and this is a sneak peek of what they have started. Look for the completed car to be unveiled at the May 24 races.
