Riverside Speedway holds 2012 Rules Meeting

A large contingency of Riverside Speedway joined a full slate of speedway officials at the Groveton Town Hall on Saturday as the two groups got together to discuss rules and scheduling for the upcoming 2012 racing season.

... The Super Stocks were the first division of the morning. Tires selection and uniform rules with surrounding tracks for the upcoming season opened the discussion. Many other ideas including the potential of a Triple Crown series with other tracks were tossed around to increase the car count for this popular division.

Street Stocks were up next. No major changes were to be expected. There was talk of combining the Street Stocks and the Cyclones. Engine and tire talk filled the remainder of the allotted time.

The always spirited Dwarf Car competitors closed out the morning session. Suggestions were brought forward to make the older engines more competitive with the newer power plants. As this division continues to grow there was talk of a longer distance race in conjunction with the North East Classic Lites and a contingency of Dwarf racers out of Canada who raced at Riverside last October.

The Outlaw and Late Model Divisions filled the afternoon session. It was announced that several new teams will be hitting the high banks of Grovetona for the upcoming season. No major rule changes are anticipated for either division.

Riverside Speedway management announced the 2012 scheduled is starting to take shape with several major announcements due in the upcoming weeks. The schedule is looking like a 16 week season with each division slated to run 8-12 times. Also management is committed to finishing the nights events in 3-3.5 hours.

Riverside Speedway extends a big thanks to all who attended the meetings. The updated rules and forms will be available soon on the speedway website www.riversidespeedway.org.
