RIVERHEAD LOSES WAITING GAME WITH RAIN SATURDAY

    The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series officials at Riverhead Raceway found themselves once again in a waiting game with weather this past Saturday.  Barbara and Jim Cromarty finally threw in the towel just after 12:00 noon. Mother Nature is now four for five on the 2005 season at the Long Island speed plant.
    A pesky coastal storm that hugged the eastern most part of Long Island would be the culprit this week forcing the Cromarty's to shuffle the early season schedule once again. The now twice rained-out 30-lap Blunderbust double point race will switch to June 4th the night of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Miller Lite 150. The 50-lap, double point NASCAR Modified feature will now shift to Saturday June 18th.
    This Saturday night May 14th will feature the Cromarty Cup 25 for the Figure Eight troops, while the Chargers will do battle in a 30-lap, double point main event with time trial qualifying. Once again this week the pits will open at 9:00 am, hopefully under sunny skies and practice will commence at 12 noon. Time trials will start qualifying at 4:00 pm and feature racing goes green at 6:00 pm. Rounding out the busy opening night card this week will be the NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks.
