I don't go to them regularly. I don't have much money to spare for one. Also, I have many other interests that I try to do in the nice summer months before the snow flies and I am stuck inside (until I go out and play in the snow doing donuts in it or something). This might change by 2011 or late next year. I plan on getting my own place in a year so I could possibly have more spare money (when you make the most money at home and you don't make much, things add up quick).
If I had the money, I would try to go atleast twice a month.

Being honest, I never go to sprint car races....unless they are running with the midgets.

I go whenever Perris is running USAC/CRA. With a limited schedule this year that means not very often. Went once to Santa Maria. The PAS usually takes anywhere between one hour or one hour and a half, depending on traffic on the 91. And if there is an accident on the 91 Freeway it might be a lot longer. The PAS is about 50-55 miles from home. Santa Maria is a good three hour drive from my home near Long Beach. Anyway Duke, will we see you in Calistoga next month?

Oh yeah, I have traveled to the burg this year. If the race is over early and I drive, I woudl go up to 3 hours away. Which is quite a few tracks considering where I live. If I am camping or staying over, up to 5-6 hours.

I would go every night of the week if I could. How many times a month? As many as possible. Have I been to that many in a week? Yes 7 nights and then into the next week. I have driven over a 1,000 to see a race. By the way, how are you feeling?

I am a semi-regular at Bloomington, never miss a show at Terre Haute, and absolutely live at the Speedway in May. I love going to new tracks...this year I added Gas City, Lawrenceburg, Kamp, and Lucas Oil Stadium ( if you count Supercross). I am now planning on trying to get to DuQuoin for the first time this year as well. We do travel down to Kentucky for the IRL race every year too. I work Saturday evenings, so I can't get to a lot of the tracks around here, except for THAT.
