Riverhead Announces Three Safety Tech Dates

    Riverhead Raceway chief steward Bill Denniston announced at the recent winter meetings held for competitors that the three pre-season safety technical inspection dates will be held Saturday March 31st, April 7th and April 14th.  This year practice will also be available to drifting.
    The safety inspections will be staged in the Riverhead Raceway pit area all three days and start at 10:00 am. “Before any racecar or truck from the NASCAR Whelen All American Series can take part in our practice days April 21st and 28th, they first must go through and pass safety inspection” Denniston noted. It was disclosed that if weather conditions were favorable the Riverhead officials would seal engines as well.
    Aside from the NASCAR Modifieds, Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts and Super Pro Trucks, track officials will also be available those three dates for Grand Enduro and 4/6-Cylinder Enduro race teams and drifting drivers.
    NASCAR License applications will be available all three days as well through Christine Healy and the Hoosier Tire Compound will also be open for business March 31st, April 7th and April 14th.
    A nominal $5 fee per person will be collected at the back gate on the safety inspection days with gates opening at 10:00 am. For more information please call the Riverhead Raceway office at 631-842-RACE or visit www.riverheadraceway.com.
