RIVERHEAD TO HOST FATHER'S DAY DOUBLEHEADER

    The third doubleheader weekend of the 2004 Riverhead Raceway season is upon us this Saturday June 19th and Father's Day Sunday June 20th. The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series stock cars will be in action Saturday, while the Enduro series takes control of the quarter mile facility on Sunday.
    Joining the five division NASCAR program on Saturday will be the annual exhibition of the Eastern Kart Racing Association, as the various classes that run the series will run in front of the NASCAR fans.
    It will be Eagle Chevrolet night for the Late Models who will run a regular 25-lap main event, while the Blunderbusts run on New York Metro Peterbilt night in a 20-lap affair. The Charger troops will run in their second 30-lap double point feature of 2004 complete with time trial qualifying. Rounding out the five-division program will be the NASCAR Modifieds and Figure Eights.
    Qualifying will commence with time trials for the Chargers at 4:30 pm, with heats for all other divisions to follow. The feature events will commence at approximately 6:00 pm.
    Just over 12 hours later Sunday will find the Fathers Day Enduros on tap, with the Super Pro Trucks seeing action in their second afternoon card in a 20-lap main event. A full menu of Enduros will be offered including the Grand Enduro, the 8-Cylinder, 6-Cylinder, 4-Cylinder and 4/6 Cylinder Truck Enduros all doing battle. A Car Rollover Contest and One-On-One Spectator Drags will also be presented.
    The Father's Day races are a great way to spend the afternoon with Dad and the card should be completed between 4:30 and 5:30 pm, allowing spectators to then take their Father to one of the many great local restaurants in the Riverhead area making for a full day and evening.
    The Sunday show will start at 12:30 pm and a Sunday June 27th rain date is in effect if needed.
