MINI BUS DEMO HIGHLIGHTS NIGHT OF THRILLS

    This Saturday evening July 24th Riverhead Raceway promoters Barbara and Jim Cromarty will present the annual "Night of Thrills." This will be highlighted by a Mini School Bus Demolition Derby which will compliment the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series program.
    Four divisions of NASCAR racing will be presented on Buzz Chew Chevrolet-Oldsmobile night with a 50-lap, double point Late Model feature grabbing the spotlight. This will be the third and final double point paying contest in 2004 for the class which finds Glenn Tyler of Hampton Bays some 50 points up on his closest competitor heading into the July 17th show. If the defending Late Model champion comes out of this contest in good shape it will be hard to dethrone him.
    In addition to the Late Models will be the NASCAR Modifieds, Figure Eights and Blunderbusts. Qualifying will start with Late Model time trials at 4:00 pm and feature races will start at 6:00 pm.
    Amidst the stock car frenzy will be a wild and wooly Car Rollover Contest, the second Saturday night showing for these death-defying daredevils. The cars and stars of Riverhead Raceway's 4-Cylinder Enduro will have their race under the lights.  The lightweight cars really click off some fast lap times while dodging the usual Enduro roadblocks.
    Bringing the night to a smashing conclusion will be a hard hitting Mini-School Bus Demolition Derby, which is a fun event for young and old alike. Among those expected to smash and crash the Mini-School Buses are "Slim" Jim Donaldson of Shirley, Tommy "Wildchild" Walkowiak of Middle Village and Ed "Speedo" Jager of Flemington, N.J.
    So pack up the kids and head on out to Riverhead Raceway for a perfect combination of NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action and the annual "Night of Thrills" this Saturday July 24th.
