Fla to the Chile Bowl a few times, many trips from Fla to the K-ville Nationals that included side trips to Topeka, I-80 Kansus, and a lot of races in between. See y'all at Indiana Speed Week this year. I hope the gas prices don't get any worse or I'll have to take a second out on the house!

Where do you want me to start???


I used to live in Maine and drove all over the place and back to watch sprint car racing.

Even have driven to Dick Monahan's house so he could take me to Logan Airport to fly to Australia for sprint car racing.

Not afraid to travel, as long as the wallet agrees with me.

Does hitchhiking Count ?

I once jumped off a train somewhere in Georgia and hitched my way to the Sebring 12hr race in Fla.
Then I hitched my way all the way back to Dothan ,Alabama all in a weekend.

Young and stupid. Ya gotta love it !

I live in North Carolina. I've driven to the following states for races:

Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida.

Between work and racing, I usually drive 60-70,000 miles per year.

I've already been to Florida twice this year and I'm planning on hitting Attica/Eldora in two weeks.

Also, planning my first trip to Missouri this year (Benton).

States that I still want to get to see a race at: Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
