    According to the article, there might not be any racing at all on the oval in 2014. They hope to have construction completed by June but have no schedule at all for the oval yet. It could end up a lot worse than just losing the Ice Breaker next year.

    If I was planning on building a car, for Thompson, this winter, I'd build it for Waterford instead!!!!

    I took a look at the blueprints for the new Thompson track. Looks like theyre eliminating the parking area for the campers and half of the pit area. Also looks like a majority of the spectator parking wil be eliminated too . It wont be the Thompson we know when its done

    Maybe they'll use the golf course for parking LMAO

    After a long hard winter I would think another track would do ok by running the WMT season opener. Kick off the season at Monadnock!! Bristol in March wouldn't be bad either. Another possibility would be for Stafford to run an Icebreaker for the WMT in early April and then make the Sizzler an open race. I doubt it would ever happen but if there was ever a year to try it 2014 would be the year from the sound of things. The idea of kicking off the WMT schedule someplace other than Thompson is sounding more appealing by the minute.

    Would anyone have any ideas on this road course? Is there going to be a "weekly" road course division"? LOL

    I like road racin,I just dont see it happening every week.....There must be a major player coming to the track for the owners to commit themselves to this...

    Any thoughts??? Thanks

    I hope NASCAR can work out a group of road races for the WMT. Maybe Thompson , Lime Rock & The GLEN or New Jersey , maybe even the Virginia track(north/south combo would be cool).

    With the news LIMM shared with us about a possible race at New Smyrna in February this could be the time for NASCAR to step up and back up their words with some action. thinking they could possibly work with NHMS to get another race there as the track has shown interest in another race weekend in the past. Another possibility would be Richmond and or Martinsville back with North South combo races. Just putting some thoughts out there as something would have to happen in the next few months to get it done for 2014. One other thought is Myrtle Beach speedway as I believe the promoter there has shown some interest in hosting a modified race. Lets hope there may be some good news out of this situation

    Southern National in NC would be a great place for a combo race also. I've seen some great racing there although I now live in FL.

    Here is my opinion. Move the Spring Sizzler at Stafford back a week or two. Put Richmond back on the schedule the end of April (under the lights), as a combo event with the southern mods. And televise it.
