So far after scanning the websites this is what I've found. Warning I will be posting links. Use them at your own risk.

WMT and K&NPE - 2014 not up for both yet.
http://hometracks.nascar.com/

I've heard talk of a possible tri track championship for the act between Thompson Waterford and Seekonk.

How's that going to work, Seekonk and the bowl run on sat.

It would be something to see if the Bowl could get more late models. If they would work with Thompson and Seekonk to do something like that. Trade off every other week. While the Bowl would host a tour, XC, S-XC or a SKL race. I don't know something to bring up the numbers. It could be interesting.

They are not having bad races. Most weeks it's the top three racing for the win. But most of the nights it's a one show pony. Having 10 cars race each night is not good tho.

Also it was reported on Shawn's website. That Seekonk was removing the VMRS from it's October final that always landed on the same day as Waterfords final. This would be the perfect time for Waterford to pick up the VMRS tour for it's final. Now that the Bowl could have a proper final race. Other then a 50 Lap SK race to close out the event.

Update
Date 12/06/13

Nets - Posted a temporary schedule that is still in progress. they have 12 races, 6 of them in CT. 4 in Waterford, April 27th, June 14th, Augest 16th and October 4th and 5th. 2 races at Thompson, April 5th and 6th and October 17th, 18th and 19th.

No other changes to any other tour.

I don't know if anyone else noticed but Stafford posted their 2014 schedule. Here is some highlights.

http://staffordmotorspeedway.com/2014-s ... of-events/

They will have 22 events this year.

They will host 4 WMT events and 3 VMRS events.

They will start the SPRING SIZZLER April 26th and 27th. With a 200 Lap WMT event.
May 9th, Late Models go 60 Laps.
May 16th, Dare Stock go 20 Laps.
May 23rd, WMT go 125 Laps.
May 30th, Limited Late Models go 25 Laps.

August 29th, VMRS go 80 Laps.
Stafford closes out it's event September 27th and 28th. With the WMT going 150 Laps.

Missing on the Stafford Schedule is the Extreme Tuesday or Saturday event. That hosted ISMA, Pro-4 and NEMA.

Just to keep you all up to speed this is the Thompson short 7 event 2014 schedule.

So what are all your thoughts?

I don't know any details but maybe it would be some sort of special points system for the 3 tracks. The LM's usually don't run every week at the bowl so maybe it would give them an incentive to run at Seekonk or Thompson to collect points. And the same with Thompson cars running at Waterford or Seekonk. Seems like it could get more cars for all 3 tracks. If this does happen it could be the first time in a very long time that tracks actually work together to increase car counts.

It's been a while since my last update. Winter is a busy time for work and for real life. So let's get down to it.

So far after scanning the websites this is what I've found. Warning I will be posting links. Use them at your own risk.

GSPSS - They released their 2014 schedule. So far 10 races have been announced. 2 at Thompson April 5-6 and October 18-19.

They also said more dates are TBA. So here is hoping that Stafford and Waterford get's one date. I would be surprised to see Waterford get a date with 3 VMRS races and a WMT race. But it would be a bonus add-on.

K&NPE - They were anoused to have 16 events. But none in CT.
http://hometracks.nascar.com/

That's it for now. Do you guys have any thoughts or anything to add?

I'm hearing the Waterford schedule will be released Saturday at the banquet. Just about the same as last year and the 3 MRS shows and 1 WMT race.

That's what I hear as well.

Maybe if the could print out more then one copy per table and if they weren't missing from the tables when we got there we would know....

Date 01/13/14

Here is an update. It looks like the turmoil between VMRS and GSPSS ended in good terms might have been for not. As PASS has announced a new "PASS North East Series" slated with three races this year. And a full schedule probably released in 2015.

The three races for this new series are as fallowed.
Oxford - June 13, 2014 - 100 Laps - $2,000 to win.
Oxford - July 19, 2014 - 125 Laps - $4,000/$3,000 to win.
Oxford - September 26, 27. - 100 Laps - $2,000 to win.

So far from what I can tell for a 100 Lap race this is what the purse would look like.
1st, $2,000, 2nd $1,200, 3rd $800, 4th $600, 5th $550, 6th $500, 7th $475, 8th $450, 9th 425, 10th $400, 11th $375, 12th $350, 13th $340, 14th $330, 15th $320, 16th $310, 17th-32nd $300
(= to $14,225)

So far from what I can tell for a 125 Lap race this is what the purse would look like.
1st, $4,000/$3,000, 2nd $2,000, 3rd $1,200, 4th $800, 5th $600, 6th $550, 7th $500, 8th $475, 9th 450, 10th $425, 11th $400, 12th $390, 13th $380, 14th $370, 15th $360, 16th $350, 17th $340, 18th $330, 19th $320,
20th $310, 21st – 32nd $300
(= to $18,150/$17,150)

Here is a link for you can look at it for your self.

ROC has revamped their website. And released their 2014 schedule along with it. 12 races but none in CT.

http://www.raceofchampions.net/

That's all the updates for now. I could not go to the Speedbowl banquet because of personnel reasons. How was it? Did any teams not show up that you thought would have showed up? Did anyone get to see the 2014 schedule? Did anything interesting happen?

Like always. Do you guys have any thoughts or anything to add?
