FIREWORKS AND CROMARTY CUP 50 SET FOR RIVERHEAD RACEWAY JULY 2ND SPECTACULAR
Once again Riverhead Raceway is set to celebrate the Independence Day holiday in spectacular fashion Saturday July 2nd as Barbara & Jim Cromarty will present the Cromarty Cup 50 NASCAR Modified event along with a huge Fireworks display and 4-Cylinder Demolition Derby on Miller Lite night. Free Amusement Rides will be on hand for the children once again in turns one and three to keep the little ones even happier.
The Cromarty Cup 50 will be the second and final double point race towards the 2011 NASCAR Modified championship at the 62-year old historic quarter mile and could go a long way in deciding who will wear the crown. John Fortin, seeking his fourth title at Riverhead entered late June as the points leader and indeed is a former winner of the Cromarty Cup 50. The race run in honor of Jim Cromarty's birthday, which will actually fall on race day will be pivotal to drivers trying to make a run at Fortin for the crown. Time trials will set the field for the race.
Completing the Miller Lite night race night will be the "world famous" Figure Eight stock cars, Chargers and Blunderbusts. Long Island based award winning Bay Fireworks will be providing another wonderful display set to music, a breathtaking pyrotechnic display that one has to see to appreciate.
To complete the night with a bang, literally, a 4-Cylinder Demolition Derby will be presented. Not only do the sub-compact cars provide bone-jarring hits, but the smaller cars seem to last much longer and allow competitors to slug it out in a fight to the finish.
Time trials for the NASCAR Modified will start at 5:30 pm, with feature racing set to go green at 6:00 pm. For additional information please call 631-842-RACE or visit www.riverheadraceway.com (http://www.riverheadraceway.com).
