EEKR Race #5 Featured Hot Temperatures and Racing
by Danielle McCormack

The three H's - hazy, hot and humid - definitely made their presence known this past weekend at Riverhead Raceway, as EEKR go-karts took to the 1/5-mile oval.  Because of the weather conditions Acting President Dave Brigati and his officials offered go-karters an option to make the day’s schedule run faster. Club members were offered the opportunity to give up one practice and heat races, instead running on practice and drawing numbers for starting positions in their mains, which would be extended by five laps .With the exception of the Sr. Champ Over 35 class, others elected to run the regular schedule in spite of the weather.

Even with the heat, there was a record crowd on hand for all classes. It was a testament to the true competitive spirit of the EEKR go-karters.

Important Reminder: This coming Saturday night, June 14th, is the annul go-karters exhibition at Riverhead Raceway.  Along with the regular Saturday night schedule, each class of EEKR go-karters will be able to take a couple of laps around Riverhead Raceway to show the race fans what go-karting is all about here on Long Island. Please contact: Dave Brigati (631-300-7111), Joe Orlando (631-404-7309) or Linda Solomito (631-581-6549) and let them know if you will attend this go-kart exhibition at Riverhead Raceway this Saturday night.
