Mike Coleates Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I saw the schedule. Appears legit. Whoever the new owner is...Is throwing a HELL of a lot of cash around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Malkett's Tweet said it WAS NOT confirmed - the papers had not been signed. He did put a photo of the schedule out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYracefan Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Papers are signed. At approx. 1:20 pm today. I am not dropping names, it's not polite. I was in earshot of key players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper12a Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 This created one hell of a buzz inside the Center of Progress building today. The NE Dirt Mod world was turned upside down this morning. Im very curious to see how this plays out in the next few weeks! Im not sure how the new owner plans to put asses in the seats for so many "Specials"?? Very big aspirations, I hope he has the same size bank account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas71 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Here's a taste: Sun April 27 Mods 100 laps 10K to win $1000 to start, 360 Sprints 7K to win, $500 to start, Sportsman 4K to win $400 to start. Sun Aug 10 (you should be sitting down for this) Mods- 30K to win, 360 Sprints- 20K to win, Sportsman- 10K to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas71 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 So, we had one Sunday night track and now we have three (even though the Wheels is every other week). I'll let the experts guess where the drivers are going to be on April 27 (which btw is opening night at all 3 tracks). Talk about the new guy at the Wheels firing a shot across the bow.

skierpilot Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 It's good to see more tracks opening. I would say UR could be " stuck in the middle " with Glen Ridge and The Wheels running on Sun. Glen Ridge will be probably be affected the least amount. The large purses should draw a lot of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeffler Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 There is a man that used to be involved in racing around here big time, and still is. I am hoping he is the man I'm thinking of and it can only get better for our sport ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montess Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Here's a taste: Sun April 27 Mods 100 laps 10K to win $1000 to start, 360 Sprints 7K to win, $500 to start, Sportsman 4K to win $400 to start. Sun Aug 10 (you should be sitting down for this) Mods- 30K to win, 360 Sprints- 20K to win, Sportsman- 10K to win. Makes me wonder what admission price will be for the Aug10 & other big paying races there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas71 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I would expect it to be steep but then again it should be. It's the 2nd highest winning payoff for the Modifieds with huge amounts for the Sprints and Sportsman thrown in. Is there anyone else in the northeast paying 20K to win a 360 race or 10K to win a Sportsman race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firestorm Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The Cole Cup was the highest before for the 360 sprints with $10,000 to win. And for the Sportsman, the Fulton Outlaw weekend race and Syracuse pay a couple thousand, but not even close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbullett22 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Talk about throwing a wrench in a gearbox. I dont really see how this will work out now that there will be 3 tracks running on Sunday nights. If they all start the same night, who will go for the money every other week at RWR and who will go for the points titles every week at Glen Ridge and U-R? I wonder if RWR is still going to be DIRT sanctioned? I wonder if they will use the points there for home DIRT points? Get some popcorn, I think this could get good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRKLEEN Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I wasn't able to attend the show today due to a prior commitment but will be there tomorrow. I was told about this first thing this am when the show opened. I just find it very hard to believe that no one leaked a word of this out or even the potential of anything happening with Rolling Wheels. Come on someone must have known something....and we all know with news this big someone was gonna spill the beans.. I do hope that it is true cause if that's the case I know where I will beon some of my Sunday afternoons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeffler Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If it is all true I will be there for every event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas71 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 They are Dirtcar and you can get hometrack points. Oh, I forgot, they are also paying 12K to win for the Mods on Sun May 25, 10K to win for the mods on Sun Jul 6, and 8K to win for the mods on Sun Aug 31 to go with the 10K on 4/27 and 30K on 8/10. I checked the calendar, today is not April 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
