I'm getting so pumped I know it's 4 months away but I'm planning a trip to follow sprint week.I live in the NW and go to quite a few winged races don't get to see very many non wing races looking forward to alot.Right now I'm just planning what hotels I'm going to stay at I'm excited about the Terre Haute race I have always wanted to see that track in person.Growing up seeing it on Wide World Of Sports back in the day can't wait.

If you have the funds to rent a camper, I would do that. I'm pretty sure that EVERY track has room for a camper/RV, and Lawrenceburg even has showers! Just a suggestion, but I think that'd be more fun. You can mingle with the crazy Hoosier fans before and after every race too!

I am planning on going down April 9-11th. A little cold for camping outside but I'll try it. I would be leery of seeing so much non wing, you'll go home thinking wings are boring...

Wing`s Are Boring......Most of their races are nothing more than hot laps.
They try to stay about five car lengths apart the whole race.
VERY BORING-----VERY

I would say that I am probably more of a non wing fan, but I would also say that I have seen some incredible outlaw races at Haubstadt, Pevely, Mo., and Paducah

I have already been to Lawrenceburg (the old layout) and Kokomo. I have been to Gas City once and it rained out. I am going to Gas City and Lincoln Park Speedway for their regular shows and to Salem for the ARCA race. I know, don't pile on for the ARCA race, it just fits my schedule. LPS and Salem will be my 82nd-83rd tracks. With the 100th coming in a few years I hope.

Beginning of May until the end of September I have sold my racing soul to shoot at my home track South Buxton Raceway on Saturdays. It's only 45 minutes from home, in Canada, no orange barrels, no border backups and just plain cost effective. I just try to hit as many Friday and Sunday races within a few hours of home (Windsor, ON) throughout the summer.

If I did give up my home track gig, I am certain I could clear 100 tracks this summer... I think I might have a problem...
