DIVERSIFIED RACE PROGRAM SET FOR JULY 16
If you believe the old
saying “variety is the spice of life” then Saturday night July 16th is
for you at Riverhead Raceway. This will be a perfect combination of
NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action and family entertainment will combine.
A “night of thrills” including a Car Rollover Contest and a Train
Race on the Figure Eight course will join the NASCAR Modifieds, Late
Models and Chargers on the card. Throw in a 4/6-Cylinder Truck race and
you have something for everyone in what promises to be a fast paced and
action packed program. The NASCAR Modifieds will compete in a 35-lap
main event while the Late Models will go 25-circuits and the Chargers
20-laps.
Then the daredevils who put their lives on the line in the Car
Rollover Contest will get their crack at the ramp to see who can score
the most points and provide the wildest flip. Cars hit the ramp with
their right side tires and if they land on the driver’s door it’s one
point, on the roof it’s two, passenger door three points and a complete
roll is worth five points. Points continue to add up if a driver rolls
more than once in an attempt.
The Train Race, which has quickly become a popular race with
competitors and fans alike features three cars chained together right up
against each other. The first car has an operating motor but no brakes
and of course a driver. The middle car is shut off and has no driver,
while the caboose car has a driver but the engine is shut off and it is
that car that must slow the train down for the corners or to avoid
disaster at the “X”.
It’s a virtual racing buffet Saturday night July 16th at Riverhead
Raceway with qualifying at 4:00 pm and feature racing at 6:00 pm. Call
