I agree about the rain. I hear about how much of the country is suffering from drought and have come to the conclusion that all of the rain this year was on race tracks. I managed to hit the following tracks:

Volusia (FL)
Hendry County Speedway, Clewiston (FL)
Ocala (FL)
Gas City (IN)
Kokomo (IN)
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IN)
Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, Clermont (IN)
Indianapolis Fairgrounds mile (IN)
Lincoln Park (IN)
Bloomington (IN)
Lawrenceburg (IN)
Terre Haute (IN)
Brownstown (IN)
Haubstadt (IN)
Macon (IL)
Lincoln (IL)
Tri-City Speedway, Granite City (IL)
Canyon Raceway, Phoenix (AZ)
USA Raceway, Tucson (AZ)
Perris Auto Speedway (CA)
Speedway of Southern New Mexico, Las Cruces (NM)

Visited Ocala and Canyon for the first time this year and I will return to both. Sure miss Danville (IL). I hope someone will reopen it.

Wow! Only ten!! That's a crime!
Well, I was also at Bunker Hill but no race going on.
I was at a track called Copper Creek MotorSports Park too but again no race was happening. I came across it accidentally. It was pretty cool!

There is a thread I started earlier this year and it was moved to the race results and schedule page. Some of us kept track there. Mud Packer got a ton but i met drtchsr (Dirtchaser) who was on his way to 150 races for the year. Check it out and copy and past your stats there

As for Rain, I was lucky, Many times just going by radar and gut feeling like the Chuck Amati Paragon. and USAC Terre/Putnamville races. Drove thru storms many times to get to a race where it wasn't
1 Rainout new Years Day at Brushcreek Motorsports LM
3/19/11 Spring 50 Florence Speedway LM's Winner Eddie Carrier Jr. Good race with lots of side by side for the lead racing. Tacky and fast

4/8/11 Eldora Usac opener. Another debacle started racing at ten. Fogged out before features at midnight
4/9/11 Lawrenceburg, On a night when I swore they wouldn't race with storms all day. The pulled off a great one. Tracy Hines, Gullick, Burdette, Elson, Moffatt Drivers flatfooting someone had to bobble bur everyone bobbled at some point. FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bradford VT (1st time)
Stafford Springs CT
Seekonk MA (2)
Providence RI (Indoor)
Chili Bowl (5)
Ocala FL (1st time) (3)
