HEAVY RAIN WIPES OUT
RIVERHEAD RACING SATURDAY

    The Riverhead Raceway lived up to its name Saturday when all day heavy rains turned the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series facility into a virtual river. Promoters Barbara and Jim Cromarty made an early decision to cancel the night’s racing.
    The 8-Cylinder Demolition Derby along with the New York State Fraternal Order of Police night set for this past Saturday will now both take place on Saturday evening, July 8th.  The annual Barrasso & Sons Mason Supplies Ernie Maynor Memorial Figure Eight race will be made up later in the season on a date to be announced later in the week once track officials confer about a suitable night.
    This Saturday night, July 1st, Bay Fireworks will present the huge Independence Day Spectacular to light up the night sky over the track. A Police Car Demolition Derby and One on One Spectator Drags will join the Cromarty Cup 50 for the NASCAR Modifieds, Figure Eights, Chargers and Blunderbusts.
    Time trials for the Modifieds will go green at 4:00 pm with feature event racing at 5:30 pm. In the event of rain Saturday the entire July 1st show will be presented Sunday July 2nd with the same time schedule in effect.
