Big Foot Leads Monster Truck Invasion To Riverhead Labor Day Weekend

An all star line-up of Monster Trucks are headed to Long Island over Labor Day weekend and there is only one place to catch all the car crushing excitement Saturday August 30th and Sunday August 31st and that place is Barbara & Jim Cromarty’s Riverhead Raceway. Leading the Monster Truck invasion will be the truck that started it all Big Foot of St. Louis, Missouri.

Saturday evening Big Foot along with Toxic, Stinger and XDP, a diesel burning car crushing machine will first compete in a wild and wooly Figure Eight competition before moving onto the traditional free style action. The free style portion will find Big Foot and friends performing slap wheelies, wheel stand, cyclones and of course crushing full size cars as flat as your morning pancakes.

Joining the Monster Trucks Saturday are the NASCAR Modifieds, Chargers, Super Pro Trucks and Legend Race Cars. For further bone jarring action the race card will conclude with a 4-Cylinder Demolition Derby. Legend qualifying heats and NASCAR Modified time trial qualifying will precede the feature events that will start at 6:00 pm.

Sunday evening starting at 5:00 pm Big Foot, Toxic, Stinger and XDP will once again go head to head in free style competition during the annual Labor Day weekend Enduro program. The Grand Enduro drivers will headline the racing Sunday and be joined by the 4/6-Cylinder Trucks, 2 8-Cylinder Enduro races as well a 4/6-Cylinder Car Enduro. In the event of rain on Sunday this card would move to Monday, Labor Day.

Perhaps one of the most popular parts of the annual Monster Truck visit to Riverhead Raceway is the ride truck that offers race fans the once in a lifetime thrill of a ride in a Monster Truck. This year Mopar 1 will be offering rides for a modest fee by the turn three entrance gate. Mopar 1 will take its passengers for a ride through the 26-acre Riverhead Raceway property some of which features some rough terrain which only adds to the fan interaction.

The Monster Truck weekend at Riverhead Raceway is a great way for families to get one more family fun outing in before the children return to school in the days following the Labor Day weekend holiday.
