From what I am hearing, this is still tentative... but they are pushing for a seven week stretch starting on July 31st 2021. First weekend would be both Saturday and Sunday, followed by Friday and Saturday for the remaining six weekends after that. This would be 1/8th mile drag racing to start off with as a feeler for the Township, with no quicker than a 6.00 ET. Mufflers are a must. The town of Riverhead accepted their deposit which is a tremendous sign heading in the right direction, though it has not been 100% officially approved as of yet. If all indeed does go well, they already discussed the 1/4 mile option because there is more than enough land, we're talking two very long runways in Riverhead New York. They are meeting again next month regarding approval, and hopefully this does get approved because New York has been waiting a long time for this....
