The *Un-Official* Race count thread 2011

Figured Id make a post and everyone could keep track of what page they posted on and update it as they go along. Also while its still early enough that its not to much trouble to start.

Post which races you attended and update it by editing every time you attend a race or as you get the chance too.

I'm not sure how many races I made it to last year (off hand), but I guess I could just count how many I took pictures at. There are a few practices and Indy qualifying in there that may screw up the count.

Here is what I have so far this year:

13 Feb: Battleground Speedway Playday (no racing)
17 Feb: USMTS at Royal Purple Raceway
18 Feb: USMTS at Royal Purple Raceway (fog out after heat races)
19 Feb: USMTS at Royal Purple Raceway
26 Feb: WoO Winged Sprints at Royal Purple Raceway
12 Mar: Battleground Speedway Season Opener
18 Mar: USMTS at Golden Triangle Raceway Park
19 Mar: USMTS at Gator Motorplex
20 Mar: USMTS at Royal Purple Raceway
26 Mar: Weekly show at Battleground Speedway (no sprints)

I started off on the right foot with the Rumble in Fort Wayne won by Dave Darland on the first day of the year. Downhill from there, and it's not looking good. Overtime at my day job and current gas prices at $4.50 a gallon may limit travel. No World of Outlaws late model race in Canada for the first time in three years, but the Whelen Modifieds will be racing here in September. This is the first year I haven't been South before the start of our short season up here.

I really don't mean this in a negative way... You guys suck!

I admire the traveling you guys do to attend those races. I just wish I could do it without body damage.

Kansasdirtfan · 3/26/11, 11:59 AM

Should be fun. I know I won't be able to keep up with most of the IOW posters, but the Chili Bowl at least got me off to a commendable start. I have a few events planned though, beginning with USAC/RMMRA/SOWS midgets at Dodge City next month. I plan to also cross at least one event off my bucket list this year by taking in Bonneville Speed Week.

Jan. 10-15 - Chili Bowl - 5 races
April 2 - NCRA Mods & Sprints @ 81 Speedway (yeah, I know, the sprints had wings, but I needed a fix)
April 22 & 23 - USAC midgets @ Dodge City Raceway Park - 2 races
May 28 - ASCS Canyon Region @ USA Raceway, Tucson
