SAFER Banquet Set for March 10

    Saturday night March 10th the members of the Suffolk Association of Figure Eight racing will gather in a new location in Ronkonkoma to honor 2006 SAFER champion Tom Kraft of Medford. The five-hour affair, known over the years as one of the best parties in all of racing will be held at the Beach Club Estate overlooking scenic Lake Ronkonkoma.
    Tom Kraft not only will take home with him plenty of handsome hardware and the lion’s share of the 2006 SAFER point fund, but will also be presented with the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Long Island SAFER Drivers Cup. Kraft will join some very elite company in Tom Rogers Jr. and Roger Maynor in receiving this perpetual trophy from John Wellman of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Long Island.
     SAFER will also be handing out plenty of hardware and point fund checks to drivers who placed during the 2006 season, with plenty of special awards handed out for many deserving drivers, car owners, crew members and sponsors for their efforts during 2006. Another very special moment will come when the 2006 SAFER Hall of Fame inducts its newest members to the hall, which is a virtual who’s who of Long Island stock car racing history.
    To spice up the already entertaining evening there will be a five hour open bar from 8:00 pm to 1:00, a hot and cold buffet complete with a cocktail hour and a DJ for your dancing pleasure.
    Tickets are priced at $65 each and unlike years prior must by purchased in advance as no tickets will be sold at the door. To order your tickets please call Joe Saraceno today at 631-981-0569.
    The Beach Club Estate is located at 161 Rose Drive on Lake Ronkonkoma and for further information and directions call them at 631-588-8083.
