RIVERHEAD PRE-SEASON
TECHNICAL INSPECTIONS APRIL 3RD & 10TH
Riverhead, N.Y. Feb. 2nd
By Bob Finan
During the recent Riverhead Raceway
Competitors' winter meetings Riverhead Raceway co-chief stewards Mike
Cappiello & Jim Maggio announced the two pre-season technical
inspections would be on Saturday April 3rd and and Saturday April 10th
starting at 9:00 am weather permitting.
Competitors in both the NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series as well as the Enduro divisions should make every
attempt to make one of these two dates as no car will be permitted on
the track on the practice days without going through safety tech.
Walter Bonczyk and his NASCAR Inspectors will be on hand bright and
early both April 3rd and 10th to do safety inspections and if the
weather is favorable will seal race engines as well. Aside from the
racecars the inspectors also want drivers to bring their fire suits and
helmets along with other safety equipment to be checked out.
Riverhead Raceway will host two
pre-season practice days Saturday April 17th and April 24th starting at
12:00 noon each day with free grandstand admission for spectators. The
pit area on both those dates will open at 9:00 am and the safety
technical inspection will begin at that point for those who missed out
on the inspection dates April 3rd and 10th.
The NASCAR stock cars will practice
from 12:00 noon until around 4:00 pm when the track will be turned over
to the Enduro drivers to shake down their equipment for 2010.
