It’s back! The “Go for
the Green Daytona Party Fun-Raiser” will once again break in the new
season on Sunday, February 19th at the Changing Times Pub of
Farmingdale and the Changing Times Ale House of East Northport with
plenty of prizes and fun. This year’s grand prize which will be offered
at both locations, is two tickets to the Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono
Raceway. This year the party will be dedicated to raising funds for one
of Long Island Racing’s most important institutions – The Himes Museum.
For the past few years the party was dedicated to the
Victory Junction Gang, where over $11,075 dollars were raised for the
great charity. However, this year we are looking forward to helping a
cause closer to home - The Himes Museum.
The Himes Museum is looking to relocate to a permanent
location so that many future generations can look back upon the glory
days of Long Island Racing and experience its greatness. The Himes
Museum is currently located at Marty Himes’ home in Bay Shore, but Marty
is seeking a permanent solution so that Long Island Racing’s heroes do
not fade into the past permanently. This is where you come in. There
will be hourly raffles at both locations, and all you have to do is buy
a chance at a great prize and you’ll be giving a chance for the Himes
Museum to survive for many more years to come.
In addition to the great cause, you can take part in many
festivities while enjoying the Great American Race with fellow race
fans. Doors open at 12 noon on Sunday, February 19, 2006 with
festivities lasting throughout the day. The Changing Times Pub of
Farmingdale is located on 1247 Melville Road and can be contact at (631)
694-6462. The East Northport location for Changing Times Ale House is
located at 526 Larkfield Road and the phone is (631) 368-3255. You may

Lastly, you can have a chance to meet and greet the
future of Stock Car Racing as many of the Long Island Racing’s auto
racing stars will be on hand at the Farmingdale location only on
Saturday, February 18 from 12 noon to 5PM showcasing their racecars and
signing autographs for fans.
