FIREWORKS SPECTACULAR SET FOR JULY 2

    It’s as longstanding a holiday tradition for Independence Day that you’ll find on Long Island as Barbara and Jim Cromarty will once again present their annual Fireworks extravaganza Saturday evening July 2nd at Riverhead Raceway. The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series stock cars will be in action and to add even further spice to the show a Police Car Demolition Derby will complete this truly spectacular show.
    Once again homegrown Bay Fireworks of Long Island will light-up the night sky with breathtaking aerial fireworks.  Over the past two seasons they have drawn rave reviews and this year they have promised us some very exciting new displays. Another popular portion of the firework portion of the show is the patriotic music that compliments every minute of the display.
    The NASCAR Modifieds will go to post for the annual Cromarty Cup 50, a double point feature event that includes time trial qualifying. In fact due to a May 7th rain out the Cromarty Cup 50 will be the second of three double point races of 2005 and the second in just three weeks. The class ran a double point feature June 18th making up for the May washout.  This will be a very pivotal point in the chase for the 2005 NASCAR Modified championship for such drivers as Bill Park, Mike Andrews Jr., Chris Young, Joe Hartmann, Dan Jivanelli, Wayne Anderson, Jimmy Blewett, Lenny Fischer and Chuck Steuer among others.
    The world famous Figure Eight stock cars along with Charger and Blunderbust racing will complete the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series program.
    After the fireworks it will be time for the 2nd annual Police Car Demolition Derby, a Riverhead Raceway version of cops and robbers. The 2004 edition was a huge smash, in more ways than one and 2005 promises to be wilder and crazier that its predecessor.
    Time trials for the NASCAR Modified will go green at 4:00 pm and the feature event racing takes the green flag at 6:00 pm. In the event of rain July 2nd this is the only Saturday night show of ’05 with a Sunday rain date which is set for the very next day July 3rd with the same time schedule in effect.
