I agree about the rain. I hear about how much of the country is suffering from drought and have come to the conclusion that all of the rain this year was on race tracks. I managed to hit the following tracks:

Volusia (FL)
Hendry County Speedway, Clewiston (FL)
Ocala (FL)
Gas City (IN)
Kokomo (IN)
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IN)
Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, Clermont (IN)
Indianapolis Fairgrounds mile (IN)
Lincoln Park (IN)
Bloomington (IN)
Lawrenceburg (IN)
Terre Haute (IN)
Brownstown (IN)
Haubstadt (IN)
Macon (IL)
Lincoln (IL)
Tri-City Speedway, Granite City (IL)
Canyon Raceway, Phoenix (AZ)
USA Raceway, Tucson (AZ)
Perris Auto Speedway (CA)
Speedway of Southern New Mexico, Las Cruces (NM)

Visited Ocala and Canyon for the first time this year and I will return to both. Sure miss Danville (IL). I hope someone will reopen it.

I was at a track called Copper Creek MotorSports Park too but again no race was happening. I came across it accidentally. It was pretty cool!
