RACERS BRAVE THE
CHILL IN LARGER NUMBERS
RIVERHEAD RACEWAY
 Even
with the weather a little on the chilly side, there was still a
fantastic turnout of both drivers and fans for the second round of
practice on April 28 at Riverhead Raceway. If the turn out for
practice is in any indication of the amount of people who will
attend opening night next Saturday, May 5, there should be one of
the largest crowds of drivers and fans present in recent years.

BEAUTIFUL DAY FILLS PITS AT
RIVERHEAD
RIVERHEAD RACEWAY
 Saturday,
April 21 was the first round of practice of the 2012 racing season
at Riverhead Raceway. With the sunshine and blue skies the pits were
packed with over one hundred drivers who took part in Saturday’s
practice. Mike Cappiello and newly ordained Co-Chief Stewart, Steve
Tooker, did an amazing job getting the racecars on and off the track
so that each division got a significant amount of time to check out
their cars. This year, Tooker will be replacing former Co-Chief
Steward, Jim Maggio which is fantastic for all the drivers
considering Tooker is a former racecar driver himself.
