Re: Tracks Attended - 2011
 

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.

Not a very good season for me! :(

Quinn has a stack of great tracks! My only new track this was the ill fated IndyCar weekend at Las Vegas. I went back to Rockford Speedway for the Must See Racing event in July. First time there since 2006 I believe. Caught a great double with the Indy 500 and Little 500 on the same day. I capped off my season at Bristol for the Must See show there.

For the year I was over twenty shows, and I lost three more to rain.

Re: Tracks Attended - 2011
 

Wow, I got to two. I went to opening day at LPS and sprint week at THAT. Still had a good year even though I didn't get to many tracks personally.

Re: Tracks Attended - 2011
 

This year, like last year we went for quality over quantity !!! Final count for 2011 was: Sprints {winged and Non-Wing}, Late Models and Midgets...

43 races, 34 different winners, 22 tracks, 7 states, 8 Sanctioning Bodies..

Since the 2011 race season is over I'd like to thank Chuck for starting the original thread about race count. Only because Petey's count was right above mine and every week I edited my race count throughout the year, It me stop and remember. And with Petey's favorite race week [Chili Bowl] right around the corner, I'd just like to say one last time: R.I.P Petey......:(

We had a good year in 2011, can only hope 2012 is as good or better.

Backed it down to 102 races this year. 45 tracks, I think 8 were new. Some really good shows, particularly from Kokomo and the Dirt Late Model shows I hit. Pretty sure I'm done until Chili Bowl...

RIP Petey

35 race nights which is pretty good considering my home track had to close the doors the first of July due to flooding. Thankfully, it is scheduled to re-open in 2012. 5 new tracks this year inculding Indy Motor Speedway, Indy State Fairground, ORP, Kokomo and Lake Ozark Speedway. This brings my total to 73 tracks in 14 states. Highlights include my first trip to the Indy 500, the Gold Crown Midget weekend, and a regular show at Ventura Speedway. I love watching the races in front of me and watching the waves hit the beach behind me.

Here I go! Too many to list all but below are my highlights.

150 races to date. 8 more to go.
22 new tracks this year.
57 USAC events, missed 4 of the triple crown due to pneumonia
53 races in Indiana.
18 rain outs.

Insane, Expecially with the health problems you had. Was good meeting you at Terre, That break between consi and feature was put to good use :)

Re: Tracks Attended - 2011
 

Even thought Chuck said it was a ton:19:, we were down this year, mostly due to Mother Nature. Certainly pales in comparison to DRTCHSR but we still enjoyed the 2011 season.:6: Hoping to hit 3 more before the ball drops on 2011.

Like to say thanks to Chuck for the other thread. Easy to keep track of when and where.

Only hit 76 races at 30 tracks in 5 states with 16 different sanctioning bodies this year. I guess not bad for still having to work for a living.:3: Here are the tracks.

ron nice meeting you at the burg this year. mudpacker i think with you still working you did a fine job. i expected dirtchaser to be at the top of the list as usual.lol i think if your going anywhere near a hundred races your either retired, divorced or your own boss. he!! maybe all three.:3: great job everyone.....

Re: Tracks Attended - 2011
 

It would be neat to see some drivers weigh in on what tracks they competed on this year, just a thought.
