PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy

                                                                                        

In my last Trackchaser Report, I discussed the need to invest wisely so that you can enjoy an early and financially worry free retirement.  Because Trackchaser Report readers are just a cut above the average man/woman (not manwoman) on the street, I suspect you are well ahead of the game in this area.

 

Since that is the case, you’re going to want to spend your free time in retirement doing things that are fun, challenging and rewarding.  Maybe, you will pick trackchasing.  I wouldn’t want anyone to get discouraged if they were to get a late start in this hobby.  At age 30, I had only seen 72 tracks.  It’s never too late to start.

 

Most of the high-ranking members of the trackchaser set are over fifty years of age.  This leaves plenty of room for those young “Whipper snappers” to hit the highways and byways (what is a “Byway”) and start rising in the rankings.  

 

If you want to compare your progress to mine, look at Table 1 below.  The number on the left is my age at the beginning of the trackchasing year.  The number on the right is the number of tracks I had seen by the end of the year.  As you can see, trackchasing wasn’t much of a focus in some years.  I hope you enjoy seeing where you are at this point in your trackchasing career.  It’s never too late to put on a charge and sink some of those old fogies who currently rank above you.  That’s what I did!

The Trip

 

Trackchasing is like life.  Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.  This was actually a pretty tough trip.  My travel schedule on one of these things can be grueling.  Nevertheless, I have an aptitude for the pros and cons of travel that keeps me in good humor almost all of the time.  I think I learned to tolerate things this way while I was in Marine Corps boot camp.

 

Obviously, being in something like boot camp in the Marines comes with its own set of special circumstances.  Yes, they physically hit you, make you go without sleep, challenge you physically until the point of breaking.  My approach was to keep my head down, do what I was told and get to the end of the day.

 

Whenever I needed to see a drill instructor about anything, I had to enter his Quonset hut (yes, Gomer Pyle style) by rapping three times on the door and yelling as loud as I could, “Private Lewis, platoon 1119 request to enter the duty hut, sir!”  If the rapping was loud enough and the request yell convincing enough, I was allowed to enter.  Since I was the only college graduate in my entire platoon of 72 people, I got a lot of grief for going to college (not dissimilar to some trackchaser feedback!).  I did relish one comment I received from our lead drill instructor midway through the 13-week boot camp.  His comment was, “Private Lewis, I believe you knock the loudest of anyone and mean it the least.”  Yes, I was there to do a job and get out.

 

This two-day trip, actually three days and two nights, didn’t provide much sleep.  On Tuesday night before I awoke at 3:20 a.m. to start the trip, I got only four hours of sleep.  The next night I didn’t get to my Toronto area hotel until 1 a.m. and the wakeup call came at 4 a.m. (three hours of sleep).  My final night got me into my Chicago hotel at 2 a.m. and the wakeup call came at 8 a.m.  That’s just 11 hours of sleep for three days, plus a couple of 12-minute power naps.

 

Today’s trip started just outside of Toronto.  The Wednesday night races had finished about three hours later than I planned.  That put me into my hotel at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning.  There had been bad weather earlier in the day from Chicago to Toronto.  The weather forced United Airlines to cancel two of their Wednesday Toronto to Chicago flights.  Those passengers would now have to fly to Chicago on Thursday morning.  That was bad for me as there might not be space on the leisurely 10 a.m. Thursday departure I had planned.

 

I was in telephonic contact with J.J. and his best recommendation was to fly from Toronto to Washington D.C. to Chicago.  The Washington D. C. flight left at 6:20 a.m.!  That meant I would need a 4 a.m. wakeup call after going to bed just three hours earlier. 

 

I arrived at the Toronto airport at 4:45 a.m.  There was no one at the National Rental car return area to accept my car.  That told me this day was starting early!  I checked in with minimal hassle by U.S. customs.  I would soon learn my 6:20 a.m. flight had a mechanical problem.  Fortunately, they had a backup airplane available and the delay was less than one hour.

 

This delay caused me to nearly miss my connecting flight from the Washington Dulles airport to Chicago.  I got the very last seat on that airplane.  When I landed in Chicago, I picked up my rental car and began my 271-mile drive to the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway.  It was a leisurely drive with stops to eat (actually inside) at both Steak n’ Shake and Culvers, two of my favorites.  The leaves are starting to turn and some of the colors are breathtaking.

 

The racing was good at the La Crosse track.  They started on time at 7 p.m. and I left at 9:30 p.m. when the temperature hit 30 degrees.  I don’t care who you are, that’s cold!

 

I now had another 271-mile drive to get back to the Chicago O’Hare Airport.  I needed to stay near the airport so I wouldn’t be stuck in Friday morning rush hour traffic and miss my 10 a.m. flight.

 

I was really tired.  I shouldn’t have been driving.  I suspect I may have been as impaired as a drunk driver.  I did stop at a rest area for a famous 12 minute power nap, but that’s wasn’t as effective as it normally is.  After a gas stop, I pulled into the Motel 6 in Schiller Park, Illinois at exactly 2 a.m.

 

In the last 25 hours, I had flown from Toronto to Washington D.C. to Chicago.  I had then driven 540 miles.  It was time to go to bed.  I like Motel 6 establishments.  The fare is simple, inexpensive and generally consistent.  The one exception would be Motel 6 locations that are located in urban areas.  Those places are not quite up to snuff.

 

I had an advance reservation, but the check-in lady couldn’t find it.  That was bad news at 2 a.m. after the travel schedule I had just endured.  Nevertheless, I was polite to her throughout as she continued to express her inner thoughts and concern about my reservation out loud. 

 

Finally, she found the problem.  Her co-worker had given my room to “Sherri” Lewis.  This prompted her to strongly criticize “George” her co-worker for being so “Stupid” and “Out of it.”  I didn’t care too much about George’s personal evaluation or his Work & Development Plan.  I just wanted a room.

 

The check-in lady found a solution to the problem.  She would give me “Sherri” Lewis’ room.  As I always say, “Any port in a storm.”  There was one minor problem.  Sherri must have been a smoker, because her room was a smoking room.  I’m not going to say all smokers should be shot or banished to some remote island.  I’m just not going to say it.  Although if they have their own gun or access to a remote island, I won’t stand in there way.

 

O.K., I’ll take the smoking room.  I was assured that “We spray em’ down” so the smoke doesn’t smell so bad.  If you don’t like the smell, I’ll come over and “Spray it down again for you”, the clerk told me.  You can’t beat that for customer service!

 

I was almost done with my quality check-in service but not quite.  I asked for an 8 a.m. wake-up call.  She told me they would call me at 7:50 a.m. and then again at 8 a.m.  I didn’t WANT a 7:50 a.m. wake-up call, but arguing with her at this point didn’t seem worth the effort.  At least when I trudged all the way to the back of the hotel, the key worked in the lock.  Often, it doesn’t.

 

I had gone through some trials and travel tribulations on this trip.  Nevertheless, you’ll have to trust me, I did it all with a smile on my face or at the very minimum without a frown.  I feel that God rewards people with this attitude, but I don’t know that for sure.  Anyway, my luck was about to change for the better.

 

When I arrived at the airport, the self check-in kiosk didn’t recognize my identification.  When I finally got to talk with a real person, I learned I was 23^rd on the standby list.  How many were on the list?  Twenty-three!  I might not get on the plane.

 

I showed up at my gate and waited for my name to be called.  It was!  I was given a boarding pass and told to get on the plane.  I quickly glanced down at my boarding stub.  It read “2A.”  This was the best number I had seen during the entire trip.  “2A” was in first class.  Not only was my seat in first class it was on a United Airlines Boeing 777.  Actually, it wasn't “Just first class” it was a United First Class Suite seat.  There is a difference, a huge difference.

 

This service comes with some heavy-duty amenities, much like the Carol Lewis owned and Life of Virginia sponsored Lexus LS 430.  In addition to all of the free drinks I could consume and quality food, my seat came with these options

 

-        Six-way adjustable head rest

-        Twist-top reading light

-        Phone

-        Personal storage unit and work station

-        Power port

-        Tray table

-        Dropping side armrest

-        Lumbar firmness adjustment button

-        Lumbar height adjustment button

-        BackCycler motion system (for the lumbar unit)

-        Leg rest controls

-        Seat recliner

-        Bed button (Yes, the entire seat reclines to form a flat bed)

-        Seat reset button

 

I also had a Personal Control Unit (PCU) with these options

 

-        Noise reduction

-        Audio

-        Video (with a broad selection of individual movie tapes)

-        Airshow Map (to keep me posted on where we were)

-        Channel selection (including XM radio)

-        Personal overhead light (separate from my twist-top light!)

-        Flight attendant call button

 

 

Yes, apparently God does reward those who are polite to Motel 6 desk clerks.  If it’s not Him, then maybe a nice gate agent recognizes a weary traveler when she sees one.  And finally, if it’s not that then it’s just the ability to garner “Corporate” sponsorship to make the trackchasing game a little easier for a fellow that did it on his own as a “Little independent” for the first 1,111 tracks.

 

Special thanks to the employees of Delta Airlines, SkyWest Airlines and United Airlines as well as J.J. for the conveniences offered on this trip.

 

The People

 

Wisconsin race fans are unique.  They are generally older men and they are experienced.  You can just see it in their eyes.  They have been around the racing block.

 

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

LA CROSSE FAIRGROUNDS SPEEDWAY (INNER OVAL), LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN – TRACK #1,114 – 10/5/06

This track was my 47th lifetime Wisconsin track.  This new track moved me into sixth place all by myself.  It also moved fellow trackchasers Gordon Killian and Allan Brown back into a tie for seventh.  I gained one lifetime NGD point in the exchange.  Ed Esser continues to lead the state totals with 97 tracks.

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

LA CROSSE FAIRGROUNDS SPEEDWAY (INNER OVAL)

 

I started keeping the exact date records for each track I’ve seen at the beginning of the 1980 season.  Prior to 1980, I had seen 72 tracks.  I estimate that the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway, 5/8 mile track (outer oval) was my 31^st lifetime track.  I saw it sometime in the mid to late 70s.  My one remembrance of that night of racing was the legendary Dick Trickle, driving his famous purple Ford Mustang sponsored by A&W Root Beer.  He blew up while leading the feature with just one lap to go.

 

I figured after 30 years or so, it was time to return to the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway.  This time I was here to see them race on their quarter mile inner oval.  This facility normally races on a Saturday night, so I felt fortunate to get the inner oval on a Thursday night.  I didn’t even have to burn a Thursday night during the summer, another plus.

 

Tonight’s racing was the first night of a four-day program called “Oktoberfest.”  Leave it to those Wisconsinites to celebrate a holiday made famous by their beer-drinking brothers, the Germans.  This is one of those “Top 50” tracks in the U.S.  They have their act together.  They are a NASCAR Weekly Dodge Racing Series.  I have yet to see a “Dog” track from this group of much better than average short tracks.

 

They have a ton of seating at La Crosse.  This was the biggest Thursday night crowd I have seen in some time.  I was thinking this might be a weak program since it was the first night of four and featured some classes that I wasn’t very familiar with.

 

They started promptly at 7 p.m.  The Thunderstox made this track countable for me when the first race of the evening ran off on the quarter mile.  They had 41 Thunderstox.  They ran four heat races for their 44 cars.  No yellows at all.  I like that!

 

Next up was the Big 8 Limited Late Model series.  They race on the outer oval.  They had two heat races for the 29 cars that were not in the top 14 qualifiers.  They followed that up later with two dashes for the 14 fastest time trialers.  Later in the evening this group ran a 40-lap, 25-car feature event.  They didn’t pass much, but fortunately didn’t have too many yellow flag delays either.

 

The R.A.Y.S. class of street stock type cars ran two heat races.  These guys have no rules whatsoever.  The announcer told us their only rule was they had no rules.

 

The dual announcers were good.  I liked the main announcer’s signature call.  He started each race with, “They’re nose to nose, door to door.  There’s the green flag we’re racing!”  He also gave my trackchasing presence a brief mention.  He told the assistant announcer, “This guy’s seen more tracks than you’ve milked cows.”  Yep, I knew I was in Wisconsin!

 

This was a well run program on what turned out to be a cool night.  It was about 60 when we started at 7 p.m.  I went to the car at about 9:45 p.m. and by that time it was 39 degrees.  That’s too cold for me. 

 

They must have had more than 500 camping units on the grounds.  This is a big event.  The P.A. system was good, but the lights were only fair.  I liked the quarter mile track much better than the bigger track.  I did like the fact that the flagman did his best to admonish those drivers who tried to block their fellow competitors on the big oval.  They ran the races on the smaller oval without yellow flags.  They do things right at La Crosse.

 

Following the races, I had nearly 270 miles to cover so I could get back to the Chicago O’Hare Airport.  That’s much too far to drive after a racing event.  The temperature gauge on the National Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix dropped to 37 degrees.  When it was at that number the display first flashed “37” and then it flashed “Ice” continuously. 

 

I have never seen so many orange lights decorating houses in the neighborhoods I drove through.  They were getting ready for Halloween.  I wonder if this is a trend going on across the country.  If so, it has not hit California yet.   

 

WEATHER CONDITIONS

 

It was cold tonight.  When I left, it was 39 degrees.  This is too late in the year to be this far north for trackchasing.  I’ll try to avoid these cold climates for the balance of the year.

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE:

 

This will be my second National Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix for this week’s trip. 

 

Wednesday total driving miles – 301 kilometers

Thursday total driving miles – 537

Friday total driving miles – 3

 

The driving portion of this trip covered 540 miles.  All of my driving was done in less than 24 hours.  I stopped once for gas and a two-gallon top-off.  I paid an average price of $2.26 per gallon.  The Pontiac Grand Prix gave me 29.3 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at an average cost of 7.7 cents per mile.  The car cost 9.8 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
