Yes, I can go online and look up where all of these tracks are at, but the point is that I should not have to. You can only release your schedule one time. You only have one time to create some buzz about your schedule. I obviously took the time to go the Powri site to see the schedule, but instead of getting excited it made me mad.
I can only schedule 3 or 4 big overnight trips for the year. Everything else has to be close enough for me to drive home after the race. This was POWRI's chance to get some of my travel budget. Now, they probably will not get any of it.
Obviously you have only attended races in the internet age.
Before computers, we had to wait for the sanctioning bodies schedule to come out in the Speed Sport News (with no directions), cut it out until you had everyone's schedule you were interested in, then get out the Rand McNally atlas.
Spend $14, or $10 if you see him at the track, on Allen Brown's excellent Speedway Directory
(
www.speedwaysonline.com ) and you'll never want for directions again.
I'm sure I'm not the only one on here with a few yellowed, dog eared schedules from the 80's in the scrapbook.
