⚑ Attention In The Pits
A Quick Name Note
We can no longer use the name EPCAL Motorsports Park. We operate under a Code Chapter 255 Special Event Permit with the Town of Riverhead, and the Town feels that name suggests a permanent race track — which can't happen until the CAT / Triple 5 lawsuit is resolved.
So moving forward we proudly run as Race Track Not Street @ EPCAL. (The logo above is temporary for now.)
⚙ Upgrades
