RIVERHEAD SETS DATES FOR PRESEASON TECH

    Riverhead Raceway Chief Steward Bill Denniston has announced the three dates for the pre-season safety inspections. The weekend of Saturday and Sunday April 2nd and 3rd along with Saturday April 9th have been set aside to perform a safety inspection for the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series machines.  The Riverhead Raceway phone number will not be covered on these dates.  To verify that inspections are being conducted, this number may be contacted - (631) 727-5085; this number is for pre-tech inspection only and is not a raceway phone number.
    Complete racecars will be inspected from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm on all three days in the Riverhead Raceway pit area with a nominal pit fee of $5-being charged for those entering the pits. If weather conditions permit the Riverhead Inspection staff will go one step further and seal engines for the 2005 campaign, but again conditions must be ideal. Owners and drivers must note that no car will be permitted on the track for the two pre-season practice dates on April 16th and 23rd without going through at least the safety tech, no exceptions!
    Denniston also disclosed that JYD Enterprises would have their Hoosier Tire compound open for business on all three-inspection dates so teams can obtain their practice tires.
