How many tracks have you raced at or been to ?

Michael Beard · 01-12-2011, 12:17 PM

Raced at 59, or if you count one's I've only visited, 66. I keep track (no pun intended) in my track directory: http://www.staginglight.com/links/trackfinder.html

Raced at twenty and been to twelve more, so 32 overall.

I have been to 65 dragstrips around the country over the years. Some I raced at, some I worked at, and some I just visited in my travels.

During my travels I try to attend local dragstrips in that area. If there are no dragstrips running at the time I will seek out a local dirt or asphalt roundtrack (strictly as a spectator). I really enjoy seeing grassroots racing around the country.

I'm sure Mr Big Stuff will beat us all, but way over a hundred for me.

Sure to be edited soon...

88 including Salinas, Puerto Rico, Fuji Japan, and the front stretch of Lemans in France. One of my all-time favorites is probably Thorn Hill in southern Kentucky. Do they still have a analog clocks hanging over each lane in leu of a Christmas tree?

Anybody ever been here?

Ed Wright · 01-12-2011, 04:54 PM

Didn't know there was a track there. Tee shirts, windows open, etc.
Probably not NHRA? LOL

It took me eleven years to win ONE ROUND in H/SA at George's, Ed.

I've only won an eliminator there twice; I got a runner-up last June. The racing is insanely tough at that track.

Kevin, Thorn Hill replaced the clocks several years ago with a Christmas tree. From my understanding the clocks were sold at auction. Don't know how true it is however one of the clocks is said to be in Garlits' museum in Florida.
