PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy

 

Over time, there have been some famous discoverers in the world.  Christopher Columbus discovered what would become the United States in 1492, Magellan discovered the Strait, Lewis and Clark discovered Route 66 and I discovered the trackchasing Geographical Driving Circle.

 

The Geographical Driving Circle is an imaginary circle drawn around each trackchasers home.  The radius of that circle is what a trackchaser might consider a day’s driving distance.  For me that’s about 500 miles.  When the trackchaser has seen nearly all of the tracks within his or her GDC, then in order to see another track, then he or she must drive beyond their circle.

 

For some reason, I have found that folks don’t want to spend an entire day driving without being able to see a new track.  They also don’t want to spend another full day on the back end of the trip returning home without seeing a new track.  Of course, anyone who is impacted by their own personal GDC could take to the airways and fly over their circle.  However, when my track totals are removed from the cumulative worldwide trackchasing numbers, less than 2% of tracks are seen with an airplane involved.

 

This does not mean that a trackchaser who finds few tracks remaining within his GDC will have to stop trackchasing all together.  It simply means they will not be able to trackchase at a rate that matches their own personal historical frequency.  Essentially, they are voting with their feet.  They don’t want to spend the time and/or the money to trackchase beyond their GDC.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.  It’s simply a personal decision.  Of course, they can overcome this limitation by changing their mode of travel.

 

Yes, I will forever be remembered in trackchasing circles as uncovering this mythical electronic fence which prevents many trackchasers from trackchasing with their historical frequency.  How did I discover this and who was the first person impacted by the GDC?

 

Contrary to what some believe, this was not some West coast conspiracy designed to frustrate experienced East coast trackchasers.  The GDC theory, at first, was not directed at anyone living east of the Mississippi.  I was the first person impacted by the Geographical Driving Circle. 

 

Living in California since 1983, (I had 138 tracks when we moved back to the Golden state) I was bounded on nearly all sides by a barren trackchasing landscape.  On the west was the Pacific Ocean.  To the south was the country of Mexico with nearly no countable tracks (I still have never seen a track in Mexico).  To the north and west were hundreds of miles of desert with very few racetracks to be found.

 

When did I discover the Geographical Driving Circle?  One Saturday morning, I gassed up the Carol Lewis owned, Life of Virginia sponsored racing Lexus.  I packed an egg salad sandwich and a few Diet Cokes and started to back out of the garage on a driving trackchaser trip.  All of a sudden, I realized I didn’t know where I was heading for that morning.  There didn’t seem to be very many trackchasing choices within 500 miles of my Southern California home.

 

Well, I could just keep driving beyond a day’s driving distance (about 500 miles) but Carol wanted me home that night.  Also, it would be sort of expensive to be driving that far out and back.  I didn’t back out of the garage that day.  I didn’t go trackchasing.  Instead, I took my brown bag that contained my egg salad sandwich and Diet Cokes and went to the backyard (that’s when we had a backyard) and sat down on one of our chaise lounge chairs.  I begin to think.  Then, I began to think some more.

 

I wanted to continue with my hobby of trackchasing.  However, I didn’t want to be driving miles and miles just to get to my first track of the trip.  What could I do?  All of a sudden, an airplane flew overhead.  (Light pops on in my head!).  Yes, airplanes!  I would use airplanes to conquer the trackchasing world.

 

All of this leads into our trackchasing trip today.  Carol and I are going to the very last track that races on a weekly basis (as far as I know) within my 500-mile Geographic Driving Circle.  You can read about it in the “The Trip” section of the Trackchaser Report.

 

 

The trip

 

We’re headed today to the Bullring at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  The Bullring races weekly on Saturday nights in Sin city.  Las Vegas is 288 miles from San Clemente.  We’ll also stop by a road course in Pahrump, Nevada.  Pahrump is just a little more than an hour from Las Vegas.

 

I have no more weekly tracks within 500 miles of my home.  This means that if I drove to my tracks, I would have to leave my house, drive my 500 miles and get a hotel, all without ever reaching my first track of the trip.

 

Not only are the nearest weekly tracks beyond my 500-mile GDC driving radius, they are quite a bit beyond it.  These are the three tracks located nearest me:

 

Gallup Speedway Park, Gallup, New Mexico – 702 miles

Uranium Capital Speedway, Grants, New Mexico – 731 miles

Siskiyou Motor Speedway, Yreka, California -738 miles

 

Those tracks are all pretty good hauls from San Clemente.  Can you imagine driving 738 miles one-way in the state where you reside just to get to a new track?  You won’t be seeing very many driving trackchasing trips emanating out of the San Clemente area after this one.  Of course, there are still a few tracks within my GDC that race once or just a few times a year.  I’ll still try to get those when I can.

 

We stayed in downtown Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget Hotel.  We like staying downtown.  The traffic and people congestion is less and we can get out to the “Strip” when we need too.  The rooms are all recently remodeled at the Gold Nugget and very large.  I strongly recommend their Sunday Champagne brunch.  It runs from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.  Yes, 10 p.m. 

 

There was only one issue with the Golden Nugget.  I discovered this problem after putting sun tan lotion on Carol’s back.  I sent her off to the pool while I watched some golf action on TV.  In a matter of minutes, she was back in the room.  She must have missed me?  No, the pool is closed for remodeling.  Bummer!

 

As often as we can, we like to experience the local color of each area we visit while trackchasing.  That’s not difficult to do in Las Vegas.  We stayed over an extra night so we could be with J.J. and see a Vegas show on the famous Las Vegas strip.

 

Las Vegas is much more crowded on Friday and Saturday nights than the remaining days of the week.  Slightly more than 50% of Las Vegas visitors are from Southern California on any given weekend.  The worst traffic is Friday afternoon when going to Vegas and Sunday night when returning to SoCal.  By leaving Saturday morning and returning home Monday morning, we were able to be most of the traffic.  Yes, it’s great to be retired.

 

J.J., Carol and I went to the Bellagio Resort and Casino for dinner and our show.  I had ordered tickets to “O”, the Cirque du Soleil (French translation:  Circus of the sun).  I had heard great things about this show.  I really didn’t know what to expect.  When the show was over, all three of us agreed on this thought, “This is one of the best shows we’ve ever seen.”  We also agreed that it would be impossible to accurately describe what we saw.  You all know, I get to some very unusual and unique entertainment venues in my travels.  With that in mind, I hope you all have the chance to see one of the Cirque du Soleil shows someday.

 

Our seats were in the 10^th row of a 2,500-seat theatre.  When I visit shows like this, I’d rather go once and have great seats than twice with marginal seats.  On the other hand, I’d rather fly coach class twice than first class once, if the costs were comparable.

 

We enjoyed our trip to Vegas, most especially since we had some time with J.J.  However, coming to Las Vegas in June is definitely not my first preference.  With high temperatures of 105-110 each day, it was WAY to hot.

 

The People

 

The primary reason for our visit to southern Nevada on this particular weekend is to visit our son, J.J.  He is living in Las Vegas and working as an airplane flight instructor.  He’s building up his flight hours in hopes of landing a pilot’s job with a commercial airline.  If all goes well, he hopes to get that job in the very near future.

 

I guess his becoming an airline pilot is happening just in the nick of time.  Why would that be?  I’ve just seen the last weekly track within my Geographical Driving Circle.  Parents of pilots get to fly for free!  Are you starting to see the connection?  If we’re not going to be doing many more driving trackchasing trips, wouldn’t it be helpful to be able to fly for free?  I think so.

 

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

SPRING MOUNTAIN MOTORSPORTS RANCH, PAHRUMP, NEVADA - TRACK #1,048 (CAROL’S TRACK #249) – 6/3/06

 

This was my 16^th lifetime track to see in the Silver state and Carol’s ninth.

 

 

THE BULLRING AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - TRACK #1,049 (CAROL’S TRACK #250) – 6/3/06

 

This was my 17^th lifetime track to see in the Silver state and Carol’s tenth.  I rank #2 and Carol stands in third spot in Nevada.  The West Coast’s premier regional trackchaser, Gary Jacob leads the state with 20 tracks.

 

As noted above, this was Carol’s 250^th new track.  She was the leading trackchasing woman during the 2005 season and leads again in ’06.  She’s had a productive season already and expects to pad her totals in the coming months.

 

 

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

SPRING MOUNTAIN MOTORSPORTS RANCH

 

This facility was built in the last couple of years.  I have not confirmed that any countable racing has ever been conducted at Spring Mountain before today.  The website shows several test dates and other non-countable activities only.

 

Today’s races were sanctioned by the Vintage Auto Racing Association (VARA).  VARA had a date set for 2005 but cancelled at the last minute due to a conflict over insurance.  Here’s what the website has to say about the track:

 

Our track consists of various different configurations within one 2.2-mile road course and has a 37-foot minimum width throughout. The length of the upper road course is 1.5 miles and has elevation changes totaling approximately 50 feet. It consists of seven corners, one of which is an exact duplicate of the hairpin at Mosport (corners 5A and 5B), known as Moss corner.

 

The day’s schedule called for the first of five races to begin at 1 p.m.  We pulled into the parking lot just at 12:50 p.m.  The website gave these directions to the track, “We’re at the entrance to Pahrump.”  Wouldn’t that depend upon which direction you were entering the town of Pahrump from?

 

The track is located on the east side of town.  Even though it’s within yards of the highway, it has a very low profile.  You don’t see the facility until you’ve nearly passed it.  Actually, it looks like a campground from the highway.  You can see all the racecar haulers but virtually none of the actual racecourse.  Most of the course is located beyond the campground looking area and far away from the highway.

 

I am almost never impressed with the viewing capabilities of road courses.  The Spring Mountain track is one of the worst I’ve ever seen or not seen as the case may be.  Imagine a narrow winding ribbon of asphalt in the middle of the Nevada dessert and you have this track.  There is desert shrub all about and it blocks the view of the cars from the two spectator grandstands on all but about 20 seconds of each lap.

 

Pahrump’s forecasted high for the day was 101 degrees.  It was that temperature when we pulled into the fully asphalted paddock area.  It was nice to have an asphalt pit area, but maybe not on a 101-degree day.  There were no trees within shouting distance.  It was bright and hot.

 

There were two small aluminum grandstands.  One was about 100 yards out into the desert and the other at the far end of the paddock.  We watched race one (mainly Porches) and race two (open wheeled Indy style cars) from each of these grandstands.  We could see so little it was not very entertaining at all.

 

Nevertheless, we were lucky to see a track on what might have been their first ever countable racing day.  For the racing to be within 63 miles of another new track opportunity that was within driving distance of San Clemente was even better.  We drove by the Pahrump Valley Speedway (I’ve already been there) located just a mile or two from Spring Mountain.  They were racing both Friday and Saturday nights this weekend.  The novice Nevada trackchaser could have gotten an easy two-day, three-track weekend with time enough to see a Vegas show to boot.

 

 

CAROL’S COMMENTS

SPRING MOUNTAIN MOTORSPORTS RANCH

 

The track is in the middle of nowhere.  They’ve laid a lot of asphalt to make a smooth pit area.  I liked the two mini-grandstands.  The cars are nice and they seemed to make some passes.  I liked seeing the two spins.  There weren’t very many females her today.  The car haulers were a little downscale compared to what I’ve seen at other road courses this year.  This sounds sick, but for 115 degrees, it didn’t seem that bad.  (Editor’s note:  The Lexus’ thermometer did show 115 degrees while we sat on the asphalt paddock area.)

 

 

 

THE BULLRING AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

 

The admission pricing schedule was somewhat unusual.  Non-Residents were $12, Locals - $10 and Seniors - $8.  A free color 16-page program that included names, numbers and current point standings was handed out for free. 

 

This track is owned and operated by Bruton Smith’s Speedway Motorsports Incorporated.  They own Nextel Cup tracks in Charlotte, Atlanta and Texas among others.  You can always count on their places to be above average in creature comforts and organization.  The Bullring was no exception.

 

The grandstands were huge.  They even had an elevator that took folks from ground level to the press box.  We sat in the top row of the stands some 40 rows or so from the racetrack level.  The P.A. was good and the dual announcers both knowledgeable about the local racing and entertaining to the crowd.  This is a key combination.

 

The concession pricing was weird.  I bought a 20 oz. Diet Coke in a plastic bottle for $1.00.  Carol’s 20 oz. bottled water was $3.50.  Couldn’t Carol add a few chemicals to her system just for once?  Nope!

 

I must say I’ve never been very appreciative of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway website.  For today’s scheduled starting time they simply said, “5 p.m.”  It was 106 degrees, the hottest part of the day, at 5 p.m.  I didn’t think they would begin racing at that time.  We showed up at 8 p.m.  The crowd was on its feet for the National Anthem then.  The printed race program called for racing to begin at 7:30 p.m.

 

The first event of the night was a six car Super Late Model trophy dash.  It was most unusual for a most unusual reason.  A New York sounding, long-haired psychic was involved!  He had made a prediction about this race.  His prediction was locked inside a padlocked box at the flag stand.

 

When the race was over, the psychic took over the microphone and went through the gyrations of opening the lock on the box and pulling out a two feet by three feet piece of paper with his predicted top 3 finishers scrawled in large black Magic Marker writing.  He had correctly picked the top three finishers, in order!  I was impressed.

 

It was 99 degrees at race time.  It was 93 degrees at midnight.  Vegas can be hot, baby!  The Bullring runs nearly a features only program.  The SLM trophy dash was the only exception.  Carol and I both love that.  I wish just about every track did it.

 

The car counts were good for the seven divisions.  Here’s how they stacked up (car count/feature laps) – Bandeleros (13/15), Thunder Roadsters (7/15), Legends semi-pro (19/25), Chargers (15/30), Legends (Pro and Master combined) (15/30) and Super Late Models (16/50).  We passed on the final event of the night for the IMCA modifieds.

 

The safety/track maintenance was absolutely second to none.  They had two brand spanking new red safety trucks that contained eight helmeted safety workers.  Whenever there was an incident on the track, these eight people were Johnny on the spot.  They were supported by THREE brand new YELLOW tow trucks that were equally as efficient.  SMI spares no expense.

 

I’ve been saving this track for a very long time.  We get to Vegas at least once a year.  I could have seen it many times previously.  However, it was great to be able to combine it with a visit with J.J. and a nearby afternoon track.  It doesn’t get any better than that. 

 

I consider the Irwindale Speedway to be the premier asphalt short track in the country.  However, I’ve only been to Irwindale four times since it opened in 1999.  It’s not because I don’t like going there, it’s because I’m rarely in SoCal on a Saturday night.  The Bullring at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway comes as close to Irwindale as any other asphalt short track I can think of.

 

They even have a road course go-kart track situated behind the grandstands of the Bullring.  They were racing there tonight, but only with flat karts.  The Las Vegas Kart Club operates that track.  More info about that group is at www.lvkc.com.

 

I met a guy standing in the concessions line wearing a racing t-shirt.  It advertised the Palmerstown North Showgrounds Speedway.  Where was that?  I asked him and his answer was New Zealand.  That would be fun to go to New Zealand.  We’ve been there but not for racing.  Maybe we’ll go there for Christmas; I mean, go there sometime.

 

CAROL’S COMMENTS

THE BULLRING AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

 

It was a warm evening (Editor’s note:  Carol can sometimes be a master of the understatement.)  This is a beautiful track, sort of a mini-NASCAR track.  They gave out lots of free shirts and had a good announcer.  There were many families here and the little girls came to dance. (Editor’s note:  During intermission, they invited everyone to dance to the music including the Macarena. 

 

 

 

WEATHER CONDITIONS

 

In 1974, we lived for a year in Phoenix, Arizona.  The climate in Phoenix and Las Vegas is nearly identical.  In the summer time (like now!), it’s a blast furnace time.  I’ve worked in some mighty warm factories in my youth and none was hotter than today’s weather.

 

When we left the asphalt paddock area, the Lexus’ thermometer showed 115 degrees!  Yes, 115 degrees.  We motored over to Las Vegas and at nearly 5 p.m., it had “Cooled” to only 108.   

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE:

 

No rental car on this trip.  We’ll be using the Carol Lewis owned Life of Virginia sponsored Racing Lexus 430.  I’ve traveled 79,809 miles for trackchasing this season.  Rental cars make up 14,229 of that total.  I’ve used my own car for only 1,734 of those miles and that includes this trip.  I’ve owned my Lexus for 30 months and have 31,909 miles on the car.  Even though I’m covering a lot of miles in the world of trackchasing, my personal car remains relatively unscathed.

 

 

The driving portion of this trip covered 772 miles.  We stopped for gas just once.  Nevada gas prices are about thirty cents lower per gallon than California.  I paid an average price of $3.25 per gallon.  The Lexus gave me 23.1 M.P.G. in fuel mileage with premium fuel at an average cost of 14.1 cents per mile.
