GREETINGS FROM CECIL, GEORGIA

 

ALL PICTURES HAVE BEEN UPDATED FROM THIS TRACKCHASING TRIP AT WWW.RANLAYRACING.COM

 

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

 

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy

                                                                                        

It is important in life to have goals.  It is equally important to have measurement systems in place to monitor your progress against the goals you set for yourself.  I have all sorts of life goals as they relate to family, golf, financial planning, physical conditioning and, of course, trackchasing, among other things.

 

I like to establish stretch goals.  It’s not the end of the world if I don’t reach each goal I establish.  If I don’t meet a goal, I just analyze the situation and decide what new needs to be done differently if I still consider that goal important.  I like to quantify the goals I set as much as I can and set deadlines for the achievement of that goal.  I’ve found the overall level of achievement and/or development can be significant when first one goal is met, then its successor and on and on.

 

You, the loyal Trackchaser Report subscriber are tuned into my trackchasing goals.  Trust me, I have many more specific goals that I’m trying to reach in other areas of my life, just as you do.  Of course, it’s very important to know how you’re doing on a periodic basis against your goals.  When you know where you stand against your goals ongoingly, you are in a much better position to make interim adjustments as time goes by.

 

I’ve started to think about my 2006 Trackchasing Annual Report.  This will be published in the very early part of 2007.  In that report I’ll tell you how I did against the goals I set for this trackchasing season.  One of my 2006 goals was to “put more time and resources into trackchasing than any other trackchaser.”  This goal is somewhat subjective.  I’ll make a decision about how I did against this goal and you’ll have an opportunity to do the same. 

 

This goal does not relate to simply how many new tracks were seen.  It goes beyond that.  It really relates to how much time and effort went into getting what was gotten.  Of course, the person who puts the most time and effort into an endeavor often gets the best results.

 

Here’s a late season interim update.  This is my 30^th trackchasing trip of the season where I flew to my initial destination.  So far I’ve flown into or out of these locations:

 

Atlanta, GA (2)

Boston, MA (2)

Charlotte, NC (2)

Chicago, IL

Indianapolis, IN (2)

Jacksonville, FL

London, England

Memphis, TN

Minneapolis, MN (4)

Montreal, Canada

Omaha, NE

Orlando, FL (2)

Pittsburgh, PA

Portland, OR

Salt Lake City, UT (2)

St. Louis, MO

Tampa, FL

Toronto, Canada

Washington, D.C. (3)

Wichita, KS

 

Yes, I guess that’s a lot of flying around.  I have traveled out of state for 40 of the last 42 weeks to see one or more new tracks.  I’ve been trackchasing on 99 different days, not counting rainouts.  I have stayed in a hotel out of state every week of the year but one since the first week of January.  All but two of those weeks found me staying a minimum of two nights out.  I have even convinced Trackchasing’s First Mother to hit the road for 65 nights this year.  I’m safe in reporting this because by the time she gets around to reading this TR, the year will likely be over and her total will have grown even more.

 

It’s hard to quantify the amount of time I spend on trackchaser research.  I estimate it equals the time I spend on the road.  Net, I feel I’m meeting my goal of ““put (ting) more time and resources into trackchasing than any other trackchaser.”

 

You the critical reader will have to make your own judgments.  I simply present the data for your consideration.

The Trip

 

Carol and I arrived home from Indianapolis at nearly midnight on Monday night of this week.  I had an early morning golf tee time on Tuesday.  We have UCLA football scheduled for this coming weekend, so there won’t be any trackchasing for me then.  However, I did have Wed-Thr with nothing much going on.  I thought it would be nice if I could find a new track somewhere to go too.

 

However, it’s late October.  Probably, less than 5% of all countable tracks race in late October.  This includes a database of about 2,000 tracks.  Of the 100 or so who might try scheduling a show this late in the year, almost none of them would try a show on a Wednesday or Thursday night in October.  On the other hand, would they?

 

Actually, they would.  I’ve had my eye on a “big car” racing program that has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 25 for months.  These cars are the former USAC Silver Crown cars and very similar to the cars that raced in the Indy 500 back in the 50s and 60s.

 

There was one minor issue to deal with.  This Wednesday show was being held in Cecil, Georgia.  Cecil is located more than 200 miles south of Atlanta.  It’s just a few miles north of the Florida border.  That seemed a long way to go for just one new track.  However, for me it was not too far to travel.

 

If I didn’t go, I wouldn’t be living up to my goal of putting more time and effort into the hobby than anyone else puts.  I would just head “over” to Cecil, Georgia for the day.  Yes, it was a 65-mile drive to LAX from San Clemente.  Yes, I would need to leave the house at 3:30 a.m. to get to the airport two hours ahead of time and battle my way through airport security.  Yes, it was a 1,941-mile flight to Atlanta.  And, yes, it was a 221-mile drive down to Cecil.  Of course, it was all of that and more getting home.

 

I remember as a young boy, my mother taking me “over” to the Peoria Speedway.  That trip must have been about five miles one-way.  Yes, this was 50 years ago, but I have strong memories of making those trips.  We didn’t go every Saturday night.  We didn’t have THAT kind of money.  We probably went 4-5 times a year.  I can still remember my mother complaining about the Peoria Speedway charging 25 cents to park.  Very few short tracks charge for parking.  Actually, I heard an ad for the Daytona 500 on XM radio this morning.  They advertised “free parking.”  I guess my mother had a right to complain.

 

 

The People

 

I’ve had my share of trackchasing achievements.  One stands out at or near the top of the list.  That would be my claim to “having seen more new tracks while being married than any other trackchaser.”  I lead in this category by a wide margin.  Obviously, when you are married you have to take into consideration the wants and needs of someone other than yourself.  You can’t just walk out the door and do anything you want anytime you want.

 

Carol has been the most supportive wife that anyone could have for my trackchasing hobby.  She will go trackchasing with me a good deal (2005 Worldwide Women’s Trackchasing Champion), but she doesn’t mind my going by myself when I would like to go somewhere and she doesn’t.

 

Of course, I try to repay her for her cooperation at every turn and hope that I do.  She and I do not agree on everything in our married life.  I suspect few people do.  Nevertheless, we have a good partnership that allows each of us the right amount of personal freedom to pursue our own interests.  That seems like a good balance to me.

 

So…….I was off to Georgia.  I would be in the Peach state for less than 24 hours.  I brought along all of my reading materials and other office work to do on the airplane.  That way when I get home I won’t be behind in my administrative duties very much.

 

Of course, Carol even packed me a lunch in a Tru-Value Hardware paper sack.  I had a half sandwich from yesterday’s lunch at the club, an apple, potato chips, a small container of tapioca pudding and a couple of Starbursts.  Carol even included napkins!

 

I enjoyed each part of my lunch except for one item, the tapioca pudding.  There wasn’t anything wrong with the pudding as far as I could see.  However, it seems that terrorists either could or would bring down a plane with tapioca pudding.  The friendly TSA folks at the airport confiscated my pudding.  Heck, maybe they are eating it right now.  Whatever.  It gives me a good feeling that no one else could sneak onto the plane with any tapioca pudding and jeopardize my personal safety.

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

 

SOUTH GEORGIA MOTORSPORTS PARK, CECIL, GEORGIA – 10/25/06

 

This was my 17^th lifetime track to see in the Peach state.  I maintained my state ranking of 8^th place and did not gain any NGD points.  John Moore leads the state standings with 34 tracks.

 

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

SOUTH GEORGIA MOTORSPORTS PARK

 

Most hardcore racing fans would look forward to a USAC Silver Crown style event.  I know I did.  I must confess, I enjoyed the hoopla more than the racing itself.  Permit me to elaborate.

 

The Premier Racing Association (P.R.A. - www.praracing.com) was sanctioning tonight’s show.  Since USAC replaced the silver crown cars last year with a more aerodynamic model (similar to NASCAR’s car of tomorrow), owners of the “old style” Silver Crown cars have turned to the P.R.A.

 

The track facility reminds me of Lake Erie Speedway in Northeast, Pennsylvania.  It’s not Irwindale, but it’s a nice modern half-mile asphalt track.  The grandstand consists of a 13-row concrete slab structure with V.I.P. boxes above the grandstands.  Just behind the oval track grandstand is a similar grandstand for their drag strip operation.  I noticed that maintenance personnel were using a blowtorch to burn off the rubber built-up on the drag strip as prep for this week’s action.

 

The concessions area was plagued by inefficiency.  The crowd of 2,000-2,500 was forced to stand in just two cafeteria-style lines that moved at a snail’s pace.  The track offered “combo” meals just like Irwindale does.  I went with the hot dog combo for six bucks.  My meal included a hot dog, French fries and a bottled soft drink.

 

The sight lines of the track are good, but the infield racecar haulers nearly blocked the backstretch view.  Highway traffic from I-75 runs parallel to the backstretch and is just 200 yards from the track itself.  There are railroad tracks just a few yards from the backstretch and a 100-car freight train passed during the feature event.  It was somewhat surreal seeing two freight trains of sorts running within a few yards of each other.

 

Only 19 cars showed up and all but one of those started in the one and only race of the night, a 100-lap feature event.  This was not an overwhelming car count but certainly enough to put on an entertaining event.

 

This event had several things going for it.  First, three of NASCAR’s Nextel Cup stars would be racing.  This included Kenny Schrader, Ryan Newman and Dave Blaney.  The P.R.A. promotes their events much like the Arena Racing folks.  They allow fans down onto the track before the race starts for an autograph session.

 

Before the autograph session, the cars each took two laps of qualifying.  Newman timed in second, Blaney was sixth and Schrader came in 10^th fast.  The track announcer was Bob Jenkins.  You may remember Bob from his ESPN days.  He and his sidekick, Larry Jenkins, now deceased were the first two announcers for NASCAR’s nationwide telecasts.  I’ve never heard an auto racing TV anchor better than Bob Jenkins.

 

The SGMP staff brought out six 4’ X 8’ tables and several folding chairs.  The drivers sat at the tables and signed autographs for more than 30 minutes.  Schrader was most popular followed closely by Newman.  Blaney’s line was noticeably shorter.

 

The line to enter the track for autographs was long.  I was hoping to pass along my trackchasing press release to Ken Schrader since he himself is ranked 27^th in the worldwide standings.  I listened on my scanner (469.6250) until I heard they would be closing the line.  I hustled down and was the last person in Schrader’s line.

 

When I reached the head of the line, I said hello to Kenny and told him a little about trackchasing.  The drivers were being called to their cars by this time (yes, I was probably holding up the show at this point).  I had included several personal notes about Kenny’s trackchasing totals on the press release.

 

As Mr. Schrader stuffed my note into the pocket of his driving uniform, he said, “That’s neat (Kenny says ‘neat’ a lot).  It will be interesting to read.”  If I get any follow-up from Mr. Schrader, I will let everyone know.

 

Because of some track cleanups problems and the autograph session that took longer than expected, the feature event started at 8:25 p.m. some 55 minutes late.  I wasn’t that wild about the delay since I had a 220-mile drive to make after the race.

 

There wasn’t much passing in tonight’s race.  The leader Marc Jessup led for the first 67 laps.  At that point second place racer Ryan Newman performed a slide job, took the lead and went on to win.  Blaney wrecked on lap 27.  Schrader was not very competitive.  He finished about 10^th out of the 13 cars still running at the end.  I did not see him pass any cars.

 

Yellow flag laps were counted as “laps run in competition,” just like they always say at the Manzanita Speedway, for the first 70 laps.  There were three yellow flag periods during the first 70 laps.  Laps 27-37, 39-45 and 49-57 were slowed by the yellow flag.  That meant that more than one-third of first 70 laps were affected by the yellow flag.  Couple this with almost no passing and you can see why I found the show somewhat disappointing.  The final 30 laps ran with just one yellow flag.  I was surprised at the fumes created from whatever fuel the cars were using.  Racing fumes rarely bother me when I’m at a racetrack. 

 

At the end of the race, Ryan Newman pulled his #192 Hoerner/Jacobs Chevy Beast to the start/finish line.  His victory was popular with the crowd.  As he unbuckled his safety equipment, fireworks went off in the distance.  So did I.

 

The one race of tonight’s program had checkered at 9:17 p.m.  Yes, I had flown across most of the United States and would end up driving 441 miles for just 52 minutes of racing.  Much of that time was run under the caution flag and there were only a handful of passes for position.

 

Was I disappointed?  Absolutely not!  I had seen my second new track on a Wednesday night in October.  At those two races, I had seen six NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers race.  I would do it again next Wednesday night if they were racing somewhere else.  However, I would not do it again to watch the two Wednesday night shows I has seen this month.  I guess that means I am a trackchaser and not a racechaser.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

It certainly is a major risk to travel nearly the width of the entire United States if there could be any problem with the weather.  My sources (www.weather.com) told me there was a 0% chance of rain.  Of course, earlier in the summer, also with a 0% chance of rain, the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri ended up having a major rain delay. 

 

Tonight the weather was comfortable.  It was about 55 degrees with little wind.  Less than 600 miles away, the baseball world series was being rained out in St. Louis.  It was sprinkling lightly by the time I reached my hotel at the Atlanta airport at 1 a.m.

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE:

 

This is the first time that I can ever recall renting a Saturn car.  The National Rental Car Racing Saturn Ion was certainly a basic machine.  The dashboard gauges are located in the center rather than beyond the steering wheel.  The gas mileage was great, but the best thing about renting this car was that it had built in XM satellite radio.  That’s why I picked it.  I don’t think I would have enjoyed driving this car if I had to drive a really long distance.

 

Wednesday total driving miles – 435

Thursday total driving miles – 6

 

 

The driving portion of this trip covered 441 miles.  I paid an average price of $2.05 per gallon.  The Saturn Ion gave me 35.0 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at an average cost of 5.9 cents per mile.    The car cost 10.8 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
