How many tracks have you raced at or been to ?

TOM KASCH · 01-12-2011, 11:05 AM

I got a e-mail from our friend Bob Doerrer AKA Berserkbob today, with this list of tracks he has been to.
I count 58 on his list we raced at + 9-10 more that I can think of.

well I know Kepner is the leader of that count, myself, well I know I'm way up there also, but no where close to Bret

Bobby's got me probably by about 155 or so.But,I've been to one he hasn't.Back in 1965
while I was stationed in Ft Campbell Ky I went to Clarksville Dragway (Clarksville Tn).
It was an 1/8 mile track.I just looked and they're still in business.They have a 2011 schedule posted.
I went on 3 trips to London in the 90s and never got to Santa Pod,it was winter time,or I would have made the trip.

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?

I've only raced at 17, and been to 4 more....I guess I'll have to move again to add to that count, since I don't have the budget some have to frequently travel 400 miles +...perhaps northwest, so I can add the REAL FIREBIRD RACEWAY IN BOISE (I've already been to FIREBIRD INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY, in Chandler), plus Woodburn, Portland, Eagle Point, Spokane, Mission, Bc., Fallon, Nv., plus Sonoma, Ca. to the list.

However, I'll be thankful for those which I've been able to go to, because there's always someone somewhere who hasn't been to as many tracks as I've been blessed to go to/race at!
