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.

Much to my surprise, I made 31 shows at 18 tracks, with not a single rainout. Of course, now that I've said that, it'll probably rain on me all next year. The two "1st time" tracks brought my total to 155, in 25 States, Canada, and England.
Bradford VT (1st time) Stafford Springs CT Seekonk MA (2) Providence RI (Indoor) Chili Bowl (5) Ocala FL (1st time) (3) Bechtelsville PA New Oxford PA New Egypt NJ Bloomington IN (2) Brownstown IN Gas City IN (2) Haubstadt IN Kokomo IN (2) Lawrenceburg IN (2) Putnamville IN Terre Haute IN Pontoon Beach IL (3) |
