After reading All Revved Up: At Riverhead Raceway ‘Tis the Season to Start Your Engines, Nicole Wagner’s informative feature on the background of Riverhead Raceway (and enjoying Jeremy Garretson’s fab photos), I realized that it’s been a long time since we’ve been to the races. So, we went with some friends on a perfect, starry September night. We found enthusiastic crowds, drivers signing autographs, funny cars and figure eights.
Maybe we’ve become too accustomed to Riverhead Raceway always being here. It’s good to be reminded that the raceway is one of the things that makes small town living here on the East End enjoyable and unique.
