L.I. DAYTONA 500 PARTY SET FOR MIKE’S PLACE FEBRUARY 19TH
Riverhead, N.Y. Jan. 12th.
By Bob Finan
Bob Finan of Riverhead Raceway, in conjunction with Steve and Tim Halpin, have announced that the place for the annual Long Island Daytona 500 Party will once again be Mike’s Place in Coram, and all indications point to the most spectacular gathering in the 12 plus year history of the bash.
“Without question, this is going to be the biggest Daytona 500 Party to date”, Finan noted. “Joe Paprocky of Mike’s Place has lined-up the most giveaways to be raffled off at one party, including a 52” big screen television”. Coors Light will host the event, with plenty of Coors Light specials, along with the Coors Light girls to be part of the festivities. The Coors Light girls will be there with plenty of giveaways from the Colorado brewery.
Mike’s Place will again offer a buffet during the entire length of the Daytona 500, and as they did in 2005, offer an outdoor patio complete with heat and televisions for those who smoke. Aside from the Coors Light specials, there will also be drink specials during the Daytona 500.
Aside from the 52” inch television that will be raffled off, Mike’s Place will also raffle off 5 NASCAR Jackets, along with 2 NASCAR race tickets, for a Nextel Cup race at either Dover or Pocono.
Of course part of the allure of the Daytona 500 Party are the pools, and Steve and Tim Halpin will run as many pools as needed for the race.
If all that were not enough, Paprocky will also be giving away Mike’s Place tee-shirts, with David Roys NASCAR Modified part of the design. Roys, who signed Mike’s as a sponsor in 2005, will have his #79 machine on hand and other racecars will be displayed, weather permitting.
As to the history of the gathering, Steve Halpin, who's spent time as a Riverhead announcer noted, “It’s amazing, Bob and myself, along with my brother Tim, started this with 15 or 25 people about 12 years ago in Rocky Point, just to get some folks together for the race. To see it evolve into the social event it has for the Long Island racing community is just wonderful”.
Doors will open at 11:00 am at Mike’s Place, which is located at 24 Route 25 (Middle Country Road) in Coram. For further information, please contact Bob Finan at Riverhead Raceway 631-842-RACE, and for more info on Mike’s Place, call 631 732-9667.
