2005 RIVERHEAD RACEWAY RULES NOW AVAILABLE

    The 2005 rules for the five divisions of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at Riverhead Raceway have been released and are currently available to race teams who did not already receive a copy in the mail. The 2005 race season will get the green light on Saturday night April 30th with a six for one program of NASCAR racing action presented by Barbara and Jim Cromarty.
    Rules for the Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks were mailed out to those who raced in 2004 and were on the track's mailing list November 24th. Any team that raced in 2004 or that plans to race in 2005 should contact the track office immediately and get their 2005 rules or visit the track website at www.riverheadraceway.com as the rules also appear there. The NASCAR Modified rules will come out of Daytona Beach, Florida as they have for many years now.
    Also included in the 2005 rules mailing were the trailer response forms that all teams must fill out during the off season and these forms are due back at the Riverhead Raceway business office by January 28th. The trailer response form must be completed even if you have used the same trailer for many seasons or have new equipment for 2005. Please do not mail the form to the track itself but rather to PO Box 148, Lindenhurst, N.Y. 11757.
    The only rules not yet released for 2005 are the Enduro regulations and Chief Steward Bill Denniston hinted they'd be out within the next week or two. The 2005 Enduro season swings into action Sunday afternoon May 1st, just hours after the NASCAR opener the night before.
    For additional information please call the Riverhead Raceway office at 631-842-RACE or visit www.riverheadraceway.com.
