Driving to races: the farthest was to Manzy. Have drove to Pa., New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennesee, North Carolina, and Iowa. I really do not consider Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, being I frequent these states quite often.

As for the places I have been to races: New York, PA, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennesee, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona, and California. ( The one and only Ascot).

The farthest I ever drove I guess would be either from Indiana to Alabama or South Carolina. The number of states that I have seen a race would be 13. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama. Also have seen racing in Canada. Gosh, I still have a lot of states to hit yet!

I better get going. Is it spring yet?:O:

I drive 600 miles to Indiana 2 or 3 times a year and once I drove 700 miles to TriState? (By the MS arch?) But it was rained out! I still had fun though. We went to the fair instead!
I would drive a million miles to see Dave Darland race!! (If only I didn't have a job, and gas wasn't so expensive!!) LOL!!

Well, one can drive through a lot of states back there. Seat time 8 to10 hours one way. Only for a 2 day show. I turned down a CRA tour may be 89 sleeping in the sprint car trailer at night. Kind of wish I did it! Longest rain out fly Cal to Ohio drive to the Grove then back to Oil City North West Pen. Back home to Cal. Oil City rain out.:applaud:

I drove over the road and hauled Eckrich meats in the 80s.
I had a 30 foot hot dog painted on the side of my trailer. They called us Wienee haulers? I know Aero is going to love that one
Drove Coast to coast and seen many race tracks and races. Echrich would give me extra boxes of meat to give out for promotion. Every time I went to a track i gave out cases of Hot dogs.
Got to know many drivers, fans and promotors at those tracks.
The neat thing about it Got paid for driving to the tracks.
Some of you might remember seeing the truck parked at Eldora.
Use to go to the races on Sat night at Eldora than had to haul A$$
to Texas for a Monday morn drop off.

I'll be driving alone making the trip to Eldora next week from Seattle, Washington. By far my longest drive. (But I'm also moving to Indy to live, so it may not exactly count but I did make it a point to get to that race.)

Fishers, IN to South Boston for a Focus show only to get rained out :crying:

Fishers to Tulsa, Sun Prairie, Cedar Rapids, Disney Speedway, Pennsboro Motor Speedway, Lakeville Speedway, Lakeville aka Amityville Speedway in OH, Husets, Nazareth, Volusia County and many points in between but the South Boston trip was the mother load. :icon_smile_blackeye

Furthest trips from Milwaukee (actually West Allis) are probably Star Speedway (NH), Flemington NJ, Lincoln Speedway PA, Talladega AL and Tulsa. I counted up 16 states (WI, IL, IN, OH, MI, PA, NJ, KY, MO, KS, OK, NE, IA, SD, AL, TN and NH) that I have driven to races and 3 more where I wimped out and flew (CA,AZ, NV).
