G2 Radios presents The Waterford Speedbowl Message Board

A new tour is entering the speedbowl on the opener. "New England Four Cylinder Pro Stocks" (NEFCPS) Is it something like Pro 4? Are they a Late Model tour? They don't have a website so I have no clue what they are.

Here is some tidbit news and notes I seen looking over the 2012 Schedule.

Just like Thompson the speedbowl Late Models will have a limited schedule this year. It's not as bad as Thompson. The Late Models will have 5 OFF weeks as they will race 21 times out of the 27 weeks.

June 2nd the SS will have a week off.

I do not see "Allison legacy north racing series." (ALNRS) The website is down. does anyone know what is going on? Did they fold? Are they still talking about racing this year?

The WnWW have 21 races this year.

The HDRA –100 Foot Drags will have 22 events this year.

May 27th is the "Memorial Day Madness."

Sometime in June and July the Speedbowl will host the "No More Teachers Bash."

September 2nd the speedbowl will host the "Back 2 School Bash."

October 20th the speedbowl will host "Smacktoberfest."

All in all I like what they have to offer. The 62 Laps at the end of the year looks more fun then the 50 Laps they offered up last year. What's a better way to celebrate the age of the Speedbowl then starting off with it's age and then saying goodbye to it's age at the end of the racing season. As we wait for it's 63rd birthday.

What do you all think of the 2012 Schedule?

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the New England Four Cylinder Pro Stocks are the former Allison legacy north racing series.

Oh hell yeah, the week off for everyone is the same weekend as the ALMS weekend at Lime Rock. Stokedddd.

The week off let's me see the Daytona 400 with my grandfather.

It took me some time but I sent in my Grandstand Season Pass last night in mail. Just to many awesome events this year. As Matt said I'm Stokedddd.

NEMA and NEMA Lts. returns to the 2012 Finale race of the year October 5-7. For the past few years they have been a part of the Seekonk Finale. Seekonk has ditched the 2 day weekend and will hold the last race of the year Oct 6 on a Saturday. Leaving seekonk and speedbowl fans to see two big races at two tracks in one weekend.

Here is schedule change for the NEMA race that is coming in a few weeks. That are not on the Waterford Speedbowl Sat Event page. May 12 On the Speedbowl page it just says NEMA Lights but on the NEMA website it says that the big brother series would be accompanying the Lights. Called the "NEMA 60th Anniversary Special Marvin Rifchin Trophy Race." Or unless one of the websites is wrong. ::shrugs::

It could just be my computer but I only see the Saturday night events going to Wing n Wheels and that's it. Anyone else see that to? I'm not really complaining. The waterford Speedbowl website scedule is the best and most helpful schedule for any track in the north east. Props for them for making a cool website!

I think the week before or whenever they can fit it in....the speedbowl should honor the "racing vet" Steve Barrett before he gets sent over seas. He's a pretty cool dude and he serves his country...Just a thought....Mr Eames.

Agree.

I was thinking. With the WMT Mr. Rooter 160 coming to the bowl on June 23rd. Why now give them 2 more laps? Seeing on how we start with the SK's going 62 Laps to celebrate the Speedbowl's age. And end with a 62 Lap SK Mod race at the finally. Why not change it to the WMT Mr. Rooter 162. It can be a running theme if the WMT keeps on coming back to the Bowl. Just like how we open and now close the Speedbowl SK mod's. If I see Scott Tapley, Mark Caise or Terry Eames around the grand stands this Saturday, I'll voice to them my idea. What do you all think? Do you think it's a good idea? Would it cost the Bowl more money for 2 more laps? I would love to hear someone else thought on this topic.

those guys wont have much voice in getting the race extended. it wont cost more. Im sure NASCAR has a formula they are using to make the lap count make sense. is 160 laps a 200km race? are there 2 20 lap heat races?
