My season began on March 19th at The Southern Illinois Center for the Shamrock Classic and ended there on December 17th for the Junior Knepper 55 for a total of 46 events. I attended my usual mainstays of the Indy 500 (52nd consecutive), Brickyard 400 (been to all of them), USAC Silver Crown at DuQuoin (every one since 1965), and the USAC Four Crown at Eldora. I usually do the Hoosier Hundred, but I was feeling puny the night it was run, and I couldn't find a shotgun rider, and didn't feel up to making the trip by myself.
I also did my usual itinerary of Indiana Sprint Week, which is all of them except Gas City and Kokomo, and my annual trek to Paragon, this time for the Chuck Amati 68.
My weekly schedule included Bloomington on Friday, Putnamville on Saturday, unless Haubstadt was running, and sometimes there was a Sunday event at Terre Haute, and I did the ARCA race at Salem in April.
Made quite a few trips to the Land of Lincoln, mostly to Belle-Clair, but also went to Granite City for the Gold Crown and Wayne City for the Jason Leffler Memorial.
I guess I am fortunate to get to that many races, since Haubstadt is the only track that is less than approximately two hours from Evansville. Rain also cut my total by probably seven or eight races.
As far as the tracks go, LPS (Putnamville) has become my favorite for the total fan experience. There is always a good field of cars, the seating situation is ideal, and the entire facility has really been upgraded since Joe Spiker came on the scene. It is worth the 300 mile round trip!
