On Saturday, Aug. 24, Waldoboro selectman Abden Simmons will be racing in the Enduro at the Wiscasset Speedway to benefit the Waldo Theatre. It’s a 100-lap race designed to provide entry-level racers a chance to get into auto racing.

The public is invited to pledge whatever amount they choose for each lap Abden drives and all proceeds will go to The Waldo. Abden is setting out to drive all 100 of them. The car is a Ford Focus that Mr. Wilshire of Friendship won and asked Abden to race.

The green flag for race night is 6 p.m. The Enduro is the last race of the evening. Pledge forms are available at The Waldo’s website: waldotheatre.org or can be made at the track. The Waldo board is grateful to Abden for racing for the theatre. All funds raised will be used to continue restoration work.
