First track for me was in late 1986 the old Southlake Speedway (a.k.a. Broadway Speedway - A.K.A. Crown Point Speedway) in Crown Point, Indiana (with my mother's ex-boyfriend Mike Hollifield of Buzzard Race Cars of Wheeler, Indiana (UMP Modifieds and some other stuff in between) when he ran a Limited Late Model #78. He raced at Southlake the whole 1987 season as well. Mike won multiple championships at the track before it SADLY closed in early 2006.

Then the next year he raced at the Kankakee Speedway in Illinois picking up 13 feature wins in one season in 1988 and winning the Championship by a wide margin.

The following year we went to the Shadyhill Speedway in Medaryville, Indiana where he has won a few track titles there as well.

Every now and then we'd go to the Santa Fa Speedway in Hinsdale (Chicago). The most insane wreck I ever saw was here in I believe 1990/ 1991 during the National Clay Track Championship when Lil" John Provenzano startes an 18 car pile up when he kicked up dust in the infield and the dust blew across the back strait and cars collect one by one. The irony is Lil" John ended up winning the race. The pile up collected the likes of #10 Pete Parker, #27 Bob Pohlman Jr, #49 Tom Rients, #58 Gary Webb, & the #77 of Steve Pastva. 4 of those cars where stacked on top of each other like a sandwich.

Have been lucky enough to get to venture out to other tracks over the years as I try to add at least 1 new track to my list each year.

If you want to know how good the BUZZARD RACE CARS are just ask Late Model driver #15 Jon Henry. Jon has had a Buzzard Race Car UMP Modified in his stable for a few years now and won a race at Eldora a few weeks ago with it.

My list of tracks as of now 2 maybe 3 new tracks this year.
