After spending the last 20+ years criss-crossing the country chasing sprint car and midget races, I can honestly say…”Yes, yes I am.” I was "livin' the dream" for quite a while, though. Oh, to be single again.

And after this last trip to the Pacific NW, I doubt I’ll be seen anywhere until at least Sprint Week...2013

As for the places I would have loved to have seen before they closed Reading and Ascot top the list. My dad and I planned a trip to Reading for a USAC/RSCA double-header the last year it was opened ('78) but for some reason the plan fell through. Ascot was just too far away for me to even think about going to when it was around.
