Drive 15 cars and dominate in 5 seasons in career mode. “Everybody is thrilled.Participate in high-octane racing competition in 10 different racing modes. “That I am God and they love me,” he said in jest. What is the feedback Scalzo has received from drag-racing aficionados? Minivans and pickup trucks are allowed (no motorcycles, though.) Said Scalzo, “Anything can run out here.” One doesn’t need a fancy race car in order to participate. “What we do here gets the kids off the streets,” he said. Scalzo, who has been involved in drag racing since 2006, said a drag strip can help prevent illegal and dangerous street racing. That’s great, but the point is, where do they race them? Where do they test them? Where do they play with them? That’s why you need a drag strip.”
“Today these cars, the Dodge Demons and the Mustangs and the Camaros, are so fast from the factory. “Back in the day, it would take a lot of skill, a lot of money to go fast,” Scalzo said. “It worked out absolutely beautiful when we did our spring series,” said Scalzo, who also noted that a new timing system and new scoreboard will be used.įor the second straight summer, National Hot Rod Association-sanctioned Race Track Not Street will showcase “Beat the Heat,” which pits drivers against off-duty police officers. The taxiway will be strictly set aside for spectator parking. The same 7,000-foot runway will be used for the track, but the layout will be different to prevent congestion, with the pits also being set up on the runway. The maximum racing speed allowed on the one-eighth-of-a-mile strip will be 125 mph, he said. “I really doubt it, but I hope we sell out,” he said. Last summer, 1,100 spectators and 225 racers were permitted for each event, but the number of spectators allowed this summer has been doubled to 2,200, said Scalzo. There’s going to be traffic issues and this, this and that.’ We had absolutely no problems whatsoever.”
“After 17 years of no racing on Long Island,” he said, “we would have had 10,000 people show up, and then the naysayers would have been able to say, ‘See, we told you so. In retrospect, Scalzo said, he is thankful the Town of Riverhead imposed some restrictions last year, such as not permitting day-of-event ticket sales and requiring mufflers for the racing vehicles. They are so happy that drag racing is back.” “The eye-opener to me from being in the motorsports business for almost 40 years is I had never ever had the support from the business community like I’ve have had here on Long Island. Promoter Pete Scalzo said each of last summer’s seven events - an eighth was rained out - sold out. It will be the first of eight summer drag racing events, to be followed by eight fall dates, starting in September. Engines will roar again (although not too loud, with mufflers required).
