New Pit Gate Opening and
Start Times in 2010
During the recent Riverhead Raceway
Competitors' Winter Meetings teams that participate in the
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at Barbara & Jim Cromarty's
quarter mile facility were notified of new pit gate opening and
start times for 2010. Riverhead will open for its 61st year of
stock car racing with a doubleheader weekend May 1st and May
2nd.
Race teams and race fans should note that the pit gates will
open at 11:00 am on May 1st. On May 8th, 15th & 22nd the pit
gates will open at 1:00 pm and for those first four weeks the
feature events will start at 5:00 pm. Each of those first four
weeks finds a busy race card being presented to kick-off the new
season.
Starting with Saturday May 29th the pit gate opening will be
moved back one hour to 2:00 pm, as will the start of the feature
events which rolls back to a 6:00 pm start time. Practice times
will be announced shortly, as will times for qualifying for the
Saturday night programs. Heat races will not be held for any
division unless there were 24-cars or more in a class. Spectator
gates for Saturday night racing will continue to open at 3:00
pm.
The Sunday Enduro events will find no change in either their pit
gate opening of 10:00 am, or the start of the feature event
racing at 12:30 pm in 2010. Enduros will enjoy the Sunday
afternoon show to themselves as no stock car divisions are
scheduled to race with them this year.
An exciting lid lifter of seven divisions will usher in the
NASCAR season May 1st starting at 5:00 pm featuring the NASCAR
Modifieds, Late Models, Figure Eights, Chargers, Blunderbusts,
Super Pro Trucks and Legend Race Cars.
The very next afternoon May 2nd will see the Enduro stars
in the Grand, 8-Cylinder, 6-Cylinder, 4-Cylinder and
4/6-Cylinder Truck Enduro classes raise the curtain on 2010
starting at 12:30 pm, with the general admission gates to open
at 12 noon.
