Looking ahead to the 2013 schedule

[BigMac]

This topic always seems to be a conversation starter. Assuming Thompson is still part of the schedule I'm guessing it will look a lot like the 2012 schedule. NHMS and Bristol already have announced dates. I haven't heard much chatter about the three bullrings. I hope all three return next year. Any other crazy rumors out there yet?

2 Riverhead dates, maybe roadcourse at Mosport Canada

2 Riverhead dates? OMG ... Start putting away your $300 race sponsorships!!! I will need your help big time!!! I'm broke already!!!!

I just got word from a reliable source that says the rumor of 2 races at Riverhead is just that.. a rumor!!!

Only one tour race at Riverhead is what I hear from this very reliable source!!!

Actually heard the Riverhead rumor on the ferry coming back from Thompson couple weeks ago. Teddy Baxter is holding out for the rumor of 3 races, just like old times! Maybe on WEDNESDAYS!!!!

and also to have those one extra laps like the olden days -- They seemed to always 201 lap races back then. Stay dry everyone. Looks like a helluva storm in NJ.

How about a race at clearfield,pa ?

[MJProcko]

Combo races at Richmond, Martinsville, Dover & Rockingham.
2nd dates at Monadnock & Riverhead.

I would love to see a 2nd Waterford date. A really fun event and one of the best atmospheres at a short track I have seen in recent years.

Love to see the tour at Shangri-La 2

With all the concerns about cost containment, there is also the other side to consider: purses, or lack thereof.

Tracks/events that can't produce a decent purse might be at risk, which means Riverhead.

Really?
Riverhead?
Where are you getting your 'rumors' from?

Look at the purse compared to what it takes to run a NWMT at a Riverhead event, for a competitive car. Riverhead has probably one of the biggest gaps between cost to run and winnings, for a competitive car. And that gap is waaay negative. Remember, we're only talking competitive cars here.

What did first place pay at the last NWMT event?

Not thinking that will affect Riverhead not having a race(s)....
