Sunday,
May 22nd 2011 - Al Levine contributed
these great photos of the the first-ever 100-ft. Drags at
Long Island, NY's Riverhead Raceway presented by the Holeshot
Drag Racing Association. Judging by the vehicles
in many of the photos, Long Island drag racers brought out
some pretty impressive machinery to race for 100 feet, proof
that Long Island is home to many die-hard racers who are
starved for organized drag racing but who would still rather
race legally than illegally on the street. |

Look
at the crowd on hand for the event. It looks like racers
and spectators came out in droves.

 |
On
hand were some nostalgia race vehicles from back in the
day. |
|
|
Later-model
machines with a pro-street attitude were also represented. |

I'm
amazed at the level of race cars that were brought out to
race for 100 feet. That's dedication! |
This
gasser is sitting up so high it looks like it's begging
for treats...

|
...or
for a track on Long Island, as the rear window states! |
Hot
rods, street cars, race cars, they were all at Riverhead
Raceway getting any kind of drag-racing fix they could. |
|
|
These
shots of the staging lanes say a lot. |
