50 for me. That includes Indy 500 practice and qualifying dates. Most of them down here in Texas, spread between three tracks. I have some pictures from all but two events (where I was told by the promoter not to show up if I intended to cover the two day event). I missed a couple of weekends for work, too. Of course what helps is that we have a long season here in Texas (February to December). Rain outs dropped my total down, too. This is the first time I ever counted how many in a year. I never thought about it before.

i was able to make 36 shows at 10 different tracks. for an indiana fan that's not very much, but it's fairly respectible for a left coaster. 35 in california, 1 in nevada. tracks include: bakersfield (4), bullring at las vegas (1), calistoga (2), hanford (1), irwindale (4), orange show (1), perris (12), santa maria (1), ventura (9), and victorville (1).

Yeah, a couple of new tracks for me, too. Kamp, during Sprint Week, and Paragon were the Indiana tracks that I hadn't been to. Down here in Texas, it was Texana Raceway Park in Edna. Got to drive my rental around Winchester, though.
