MOTHER NATURE SWEEPS RIVERHEAD OPENING WEEKEND

    The only big winner for the opening weekend at Riverhead Raceway would turn out to be Mother Nature.  Both the Saturday NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series program on Saturday and the Enduro show set for Sunday were washed out.
    Originally the Enduro had a rain date for May 8th, but with that being Mother's Day that date will NOT be utilized. The drivers signed up for the May 1st Enduro will now be credited for the Memorial Day Weekend Enduro ONLY, with that race set for May 29th.  The rain date will be Monday, May 30th, Memorial Day.
    This Saturday evening a 50-lap double point NASCAR Modified feature will kick-off the 2005 campaign with time trial qualifying at 4:00 pm. The Blunderbust 30-lap, double point main event set for this past Saturday will now join the May 7th program along with the Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers and Super Pro Trucks.
    Race teams please note that the pit gates will open at 9:00 am this Saturday and practice is slated to start at 12 noon to give teams some track time after the April 23rd warm-up day was washed out.
    Qualifying will start at 4:00 pm with time trials and the feature events will go green at 6:00 pm. For more information please dial 631-842-RACE or visit www.riverheadraceway.com.
