I WOKE UP IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

 

 

 

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

The Strategy

                                                                                        

Today I begin a new era in my trackchasing career.  I am now a sponsored trackchaser.  My primary partner is SkyWest Airlines and my associate partners are Delta Airlines and United Airlines.  With this additional sponsorship, I will be able to attend racing events at tracks that I would never have considered before.  My trackchasing fellow competitors may have real cause for concern with this new development.

 

You might think that I keep myself very busy (and Carol too) with my trackchasing and travel schedule.  What you may not know is our schedule around San Clemente is just as hectic as and maybe even more so than “Being out on the road.”

 

Let’s take this trip as an example.  There are a few homeland activities that “Trump” any trackchasing plan I might have.  First, we are contracted to attend 10 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball games.  Carol is the biggest fan of baseball in our household.  My job is to have my butt in section 414, row C, seat 7 at 7:05 p.m. for each of those games.  If that requires walking, running or flying home early from a trackchasing trip then that if what I must do.

 

Of course, UCLA sports play a big role in our entertainment lives as well.  Fortunately, there is not much trackchasing going on in the winter during basketball season.  However, UCLA football is a different story.

 

The Bruins play 6-7 home games in the Rose Bowl each year.  The first game normally happens around Labor Day.  The last home game can be as late as the first week in December.  The games are all played on Saturdays, primarily in September and October.  By that time in the year, almost all of the tracks are racing Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.  If I have to be in the Rose Bowl (Section 22H, Row 57, Seat 108) on a Saturday that means it’s nearly impossible and for the most impractical to try to go trackchasing in the Midwest or East.

 

All of these obstacles were a problem until I joined up with my new airline partners.  This weekend was the perfect opportunity to use my sponsor benefits.  We had an Angels' game on Thursday night.  We didn’t get home from that game until 11 p.m.  We have a UCLA football game (against Stanford) on Saturday at 7 p.m.  The “Window of Opportunity” between those two events is just 44 hours.  In the past, I never would have had the time or been willing to spend the money on an out of state trip that had to be completed from start to finish in 44 hours.  As you know, the “12/24” rule requires 36 hours just to get to the track and return home.

 

However, with no airfare expense, I can afford to make trips that can fit in the 44-hour window I had for this weekend.  Therefore, I’m off to Salt Lake City and then Price, Utah, where I will visit the Desert Thunder Raceway.  I’m looking forward to all of the tracks I will be able to see with this new arrangement.

 

Up to now, I have turned down all overtures from hotel companies for trackchasing sponsorship.  I am not certain if that will change or not in the future.  I am working on an airport parking deal, which could offset a good deal of expenses for my 6^th highest trackchasing expense category.

 

 

The Trip

 

If you’ve flown lately, you know that the process requires both time and patience.  This is my 25^th trackchasing airline trip of the year.  Right now, I have five more planned before the season wraps up.  I prefer to fly from the nearest airport to our house, the John Wayne Orange County Airport (SNA).  However, the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) offers more non-stop flights, more departure and arrival times and lower prices.

 

LAX is about 65 miles from our home in San Clemente.  During rush hour the trip can take 2-3 hours.  This is one of the reasons, although not the main reason, I normally schedule 6-7 a.m. departures.  Today’s flight departed at 6:30 a.m.  I left the house at 4 a.m.  At that time of day there is no stop and go traffic but there is a good deal of traffic.  I often wonder where so many people could be going at 4 o’clock in the morning!  At this time of day I can make the trip to LAX in about one hour.

 

Security precautions at the airport can be both time and patience consuming.  I do better with this than Carol does.  The time it takes to get through security has DRAMATICALLY improved since the early days following 9/11.  Rarely do I have to spend more than 10 minutes getting through security.

 

With all of the stuff I carry on board an airplane, you have to be quick when it’s time to put everything through the x-ray machine.  The airports have only recently standardized the rule that all shoes must be removed and sent through x-ray.  They are also trying to enforce the rule requiring all video cameras to be removed from carry-on luggage and x-rayed separately.  I have one of those small digital video cameras and I can get away with leaving it in my carry-on luggage.

 

I carry my laptop with me on each trip.  The laptop must be removed from my briefcase and x-rayed separately.  Just recently, with the London area terror discovery, airports have placed a ban on carrying liquids, beverages, gels and aerosols onboard.  I made the mistake of carrying my shaving kit aboard during a recent trip to Hawaii.  That mistake cost me about half of the contents of my shaving kit!

 

Just last week, the airport security rules were relaxed.  Now each passenger can carry up to 3 oz. of each item that might be a liquid, gel or aerosol.  These items must be placed in a clear quart sized Ziploc bag.  That’s where my deodorant, toothpaste and shaving cream went.  If you are going to go through the airports and expect the carry these items, you need to be able to get at them quickly so you don’t hold up the security line.  I use one plastic tote for my shoes, one for my computer and a third tote for my “Liquids, gels and creams.”  These totes are followed by my briefcase and carry-on luggage bag.  By now, I am a very experienced pro at handling these security issues.

 

The People

 

Today is a special day on the people front.  I’ll be going trackchasing with our oldest son, J.J.  Carol and I are equally proud of all three of our children.  We’re especially proud of J.J at this time as he begins a new career as a commercial airline pilot.

 

He’s been living in Salt Lake City for a few weeks during his initial training.  At this point, he expects his first duty station to be in Chicago.  As all goes well, he hopes to begin the actual “People flying process” next month.

 

Airline pilots have “Crash pads.”  I used J.J.’s Salt Lake City crash pad after the race.  Earlier in the day, J.J. conducted a short course in “Airline sponsorship management” with me as the student.  Properly used my new airline support should give me the chance to go all over the country on a moment’s notice.  J.J.’s final comment was, “I’ll be anxious to hear what the other trackchasers have to save about your new capabilities.” 

 

Well, J.J., it’s just like American politics.  If you are a Republican and a Republican elected official says we should do this or that, you are likely to be fully supportive.  If you are a Democrat, you will likely feel the Republican’s idea is a pretty poor idea.  Of course, it works the same way if you interchange the words Republican and Democrat in the above sentence.  I expect a similar reaction from my fellow trackchasers.

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

DESERT THUNDER RACEWAY #1,112 – 9/29/06

This was just my 3^rd lifetime track to see in the Mormon state.  This is my third individual trackchasing trip to Utah.  I have moved out of a five-way tie for fourth place and am now tied with Andy Sivi and Ron Rodda for second place.  This gives me an additional two NGD points.  I now trail first place in the lifetime NGD standings by just 11 positions.  Andy Ritter leads the state with four tracks. 

 

I’ve added a new feature to the Trackchaser Report.  It is a real time update of the lifetime National Geographic Diversity standings.  I am attempting to overtake Gordon Killian for the lead in this category.  To date, I have seen 121 tracks this season and Gordon has seen 42.  Nevertheless, I have only gained 0.50 lifetime NGD points on my fellow competitor.  This goes to show how difficult advancing in the lifetime NGD standings can be.  Nevertheless, I am undeterred.

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

DESERT THUNDER RACEWAY

 

Once we got off the freeway and onto route 6, J.J. and I encountered some of the most beautiful scenery any trackchaser is likely to see.  However, getting out of Salt Lake City on a Friday night was a challenge.  SLC can give Los Angeles a run for its money in the traffic category.

 

Tonight’s racing at the DTR was a modified special called the “Castle Country Clash.”  The “Castle” portion of that name refers to the various local rock formations.  This was day one of a two-day show.  It was termed a “Qualifier” night, but they did run a full program.  There were just two classes on the card tonight with the modifieds (41) and street stocks (9).

 

Rural western racing is normally not of high quality.  The late Gary Jacob and I used to discuss that particular phenomenon often.  This weekend’s race was billed on the track’s website as the Western United States’, “Biggest Modified Show” or something like that.  I would equate it to a regular weekly modified program at many Midwestern tracks across the country.

 

The admission price was more than reasonable at $6 per adult.  The P.A. was strong and the two announcers (who stood on the rooftop of the concession stand) were enthusiastic if not always correct.  Most of the time, they told the crowd a driver’s name and number.  I suspect there were many traveling racers here tonight.  It would have been nice to now where they were from.

 

The announcer’s did apologize in advance for some of their errors.  One said, “If we say a name wrong, please don’t get pissed off at us.”  I don’t make the news I just report it.

 

The flagman was poor.  He threw the yellow flag too quickly for spinners and didn’t start the field quick enough after they were already lined up.  He also gave them unintelligible hand signals when he wanted the drivers to change positions.  Couple this ineptitude with a 45-minute intermission under cooling temperatures at an altitude of about 6,000 feet and you have an inefficient racing program.

 

The dirt oval 3/8-mile track is located next to the Price, Utah airport.  At one point, a single engine Cessna flew over the concession stand at an altitude of 100-200 feet.  I could see the braces on the pilot’s teeth!  J.J. looked at me at said, “There must not be any FFA inspectors in the audience.  The minimum altitude when flying over people is 500 feet.”

 

The scenery in and around the track was gorgeous.  The track had far too many yellow flags, a too long intermission and follow the leader racing.  There were a couple of good moments but not much.

 

We did share a $2.50 bowl of chili.  It was meaty and spicy, just the way I like it.  However, I was not looking for a complete intestinal overall, which this chili provided. 

 

While at the concession stand, I struck up a conversation with a few people who had heard about my trackchasing achievements over the P.A.  As almost always, folks with this type of background admire my ability to trackchase all over, all the time.  One fellow wanted to know if he could stow away in my suitcase.  Another fellow, who is the flagman at the Olathe, Colorado track insisted I drive over there for tomorrow tonight’s show.  Of course, that would not fit Trackchasing’s First Mother’s plan, so I’ll be sitting in the Rose Bowl on Saturday night.

 

 

WEATHER CONDITIONS

 

Overall, the weather was really gorgeous for this time of the year.  According to weather.com, September is the rainiest month of the year in Price, Utah although not by much.  The area received rain last week and that resulted in the mountains being snow-capped.  The temperature did start to cool as the evening wore on.

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE:

 

I am using the National Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix for this weekend’s trip.  I probably prefer Grand Prix’s more than any other car I rent from National.

 

Friday total driving miles – 281

Saturday total driving miles – 8

 

The driving portion of this trip covered just 289 miles.  We stopped just once for gas.  I was surprised to see that 85-octane gas was sold in Utah.  I paid an average price of $2.63 per gallon.  The Pontiac Gran Prix gave us 30.1 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at an average cost of 8.7 cents per mile.  The car cost 15.9 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
