RIVERHEAD RACEWAY SUFFERS
THIRD RAINOUT OF ’06 SATURDAY

    Just as the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series stock cars were set to hit the Riverhead Raceway for practice Saturday afternoon rain swept across Long Island forcing Barbara and Jim Cromarty to call a halt to the activities for the night. Just the first round of Blunderbust warm-ups got on the track with the rain hitting as they were circling the track.
    Once again Mother Nature forces some shifting of the schedule in the weeks to come. First the Buzz Chew Chevrolet-Cadillac night set for this past Saturday now will be presented on August 12th. The 4-Cylinder Enduro set for under the lights this past week will not be made-up, but drivers pre-registered are now credited for Sunday August 6th.
    The Mini-School Bus Demolition Derby now has a rain date of August 26th, which also happens to be the rain date for the Full Size School Bus Demolition Derby, which will take place August 19th. If the Full Bus Demo rains out that race has first priority for the August 26th rain date.
    As of press time the Allstate night as part of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series has not been rescheduled but the Safelite Auto Glass Night for the Late Models has been rescheduled for Saturday, September 2nd.
    This Saturday night it’s the $16,000 plus CARQUEST Auto Parts Tom Baldwin Memorial 77 for the NASCAR Modifieds highlighting a six for one program.
    Time trials for the Modifieds are set for 4:00 pm and feature event racing is set for 5:30 pm.
