MEDIA NEWS

 

I received this bit of recognition from the Madison International Speedway’s weekly newsletter.  I had visited the M.I.S. track on Friday night, May 25, 2007.

 “Trackchaser at MIS on Friday Billed as the "World's #1 Ranked Trackchaser," RandyLewis of San Clemente, California, made his first tripto MIS on Friday night.  Lewis has now been to 1,192different tracks in the United States and in eightforeign countries. He's seen just about every type oftrack and race vehicle one could imagine.  Wow, and Ithought Gary Schmelzer had been to a lot of tracks!  You can checkout Lewis' website at ranlayracing.com.”

WE WOKE UP IN SUMAS, WASHINGTON.  THEN CAROL AND I WENT TO SLEEP IN BANFF, ALBERTA, CANADA.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy     

 

I like to visit tracks in a foreign country or two or even more during each trackchasing season.  Today’s visit to Whispering Pines was the second Canadian province where I have trackchased in 2007.  I have also been to 20 U.S. states for trackchasing in 2007 and to New Zealand.  That’s not bad in less than five months!

 

I’ve had a couple of people ask me if I have any interest in trying to become the #1 ranked trackchaser in Canada.  The current and quick answer is no.  Guy Smith currently leads Canada with 114 tracks.  I have 39 Canadian tracks.  I think that in the near-term I will stay with my strategy of trying to become #1 in all of the thirteen Western states (x California.)  That should keep me busy for a while.  After that, maybe I’ll look at Canada.

The Trip

 

When I travel with Carol, I always try to stay in a little better place.  If I can find an overnight accommodation, that’s a bit unusual or upscale that’s just perfect.  This is one of the ways I like to reward and recognize Carol’s hard work at home.

 

Following last night’s track in Bremerton, Washington, we boarded another auto ferry from Kingston to Edmund.  From that point, we hopped on I-5 and headed directly toward British Columbia, Canada.  We had both had a long travel day, but we needed to keep moving. 

 

The numbers were simple.  We left last night’s track at 8 p.m.  Today’s races were scheduled to begin at 12 noon.  Today’s track in Kamloops, BC was 356 miles from last night’s track in Bremerton, Washington.  That meant we had 16 hours to cover 356 miles and get a good nights sleep.

 

At nearly 11 p.m., we had reached the Canadian border at Sumas, Washington.  We could either cross the border and get a room or try something on the U.S. side.  Just at that moment, we came upon a multi-story log cabin structure that advertised accommodation.  Yes, the sign told us this was “Bob’s Burgers and Brew!”  Actually, the Sumas Mountain Lodge was located right above Bob’s Burgers and Brew.  This place looked like a good choice.

 

The rate was reasonable and they had space.  The place had nine rooms on a second level above a tavern.  As veteran, but tonight, tired travelers, this looked interesting.  We were given the keys to room 7.  This was a unique and large modern rustic room.  The floor was made from wooden planks.  The bed was wide and the shower flowed freely, which is not always the case.  I was even able to steal an internet connection from the nearby “youth center.”  It didn’t take long for us to be sound asleep. 

 

On Sunday morning, we awoke to rain.  Rain in the trackchasing world is bad.  However, rain in the road course trackchasing world in no big deal.  Virtually every road course I know of races, “rain or shine.”  Most road courses I have seen have an asphalt-racing surface.  Today’s road course track has a dirt surface.  Nevertheless, I had been assured by the sanctioning body’s president that they would be racing rain or shine.  This put my mind at ease.

 

Our trip to Canada put us in touch with a Canadian tradition, Tim Horton’s.  Tim Horton’s is small coffee/sandwich shop retailer.  They have more locations in Canada per capita than McDonalds probably has in the U.S.  Years ago, I stopped here a time or two and was not satisfied with their food.

 

Recently, I have been more amenable to their offerings for no other reason than they seem to be on every corner in Canada.  I might also like the place because a “combo” includes a donut rather than fries! 

 

Carol and I stopped at Tim Horton’s on our way up to the Whispering Pines Motorsports Park this morning.  You can see some great pictures of Tim Horton’s and their food offerings at www.ranlayracing.com.  Our food was good, but I am dissatisfied on two fronts with Tim Horton’s.

 

First, they do not accept credit cards.  I use credit cards for convenience.  At home, I use an ATM to get cash.  The most cash our machine will allow me to get at one visit is $300.  I always get the maximum and try to make that cash last as long as possible.  I charge EVERYTHING.  If I go into a 7-11 and buy a bottle of water for 99 cents, I charge it. 

 

At the end of the month, I reconcile my charge receipts with my credit card bill.  I do not reconcile charges that are under ten dollars.  With the amount of traveling I do, I may have 200-300 charges per month.  Of course, every charge, no matter how small goes toward earning free airline tickets.  I have a Frontier Airlines MasterCard.  Free U.S. round-trip airlines tickets go for just 15,000 miles with Frontier.  That’s quite the bargain as most airlines charge 25,000 miles or more for such tickets.  Therefore, when any retailer or business does not accept credit cards, they don’t win any points with me.

 

My second disappointment with Tim Horton’s is their coffee refill policy.  They don’t offer coffee refills.  I am not a coffee drinker.  However, Carol is.  She prefers, Four Bucks, I mean Starbucks, but today she was getting her coffee at Timmy Horton’s.  As a gallant and helpful husband, I offered to take her cup up to the counter for a refill.

 

I was told that Tim Horton’s does not offer refills.  I was then directed to the end of a 10-person breakfast ordering line of patrons to get a simple coffee cup refill.  By the way, my less than friendly service was dispensed by a man who looked exactly like trackchaser Andy Sivi.  That didn’t make this trackchaser happy one bit.  No, I didn’t mind that the counter person looked like Andy.  He is a handsome enough fellow.  I just didn’t like their refill policy.  Nevertheless, I will continue to stop at Tim Horton’s simply for the convenience of their locations, although I will be on the lookout for a replacement.

 

 

 

 

 

The People

 

I have always had great people experiences with the folks who live in Canada.  Many times I have shown up unannounced at golf courses in Canada.  Each time I’ve met up with fellow golfers who have made my day most enjoyable.

 

My one and only less than positive experience was with the Canadian border agents.  I was entering via North Dakota and I don’t think they had much business that day.  I was detained for nearly an hour while they sorted through the paperwork and sifted through my luggage.

 

We were delayed a couple of minutes today.  The Canadian border agent could not believe I did not have a formal rental agreement for the rental car.  All I did have, was a small postcard size paper.  This is normal for Emerald Aisle rentals from National Rental car.  Of course the National agent had incorrectly transposed the car’s license plate number on this card.

 

The female Canadian border agent brought this oversight to me attention.  All I could do was shrug my shoulders.  With that, she allowed British Columbia’s leading trackchasers to pass.

 

In advance of my trip to the Whispering Springs Motorsports Park I had corresponded with Mike Strange (Two Strange Dudes Racing Team.)  By the way, Carol and I are the first trackchasers to visit this track that has been in existence for about six years.  Mike was most helpful is giving me start time and weather policy information.  Of course, I also had to confirm the track would be offering wheel-to-wheel racing, which is countable by trackchasing rules and not some form of rally or mud bog racing, which is not countable by trackchasing rules.

 

I really wanted to meet up with Mike at the track.  He was racing in the #142 Buggy (as in dune buggy) class.  However, I didn’t feel like buying a pit pass and we missed each other.  Following my visit, and before anyone would read my Trackchaser Report about Whispering Pines, Mike sent me this nice email.

 

Hi there Randy.

 

I really regretted not meeting you at Whispering Pines for KORR’s 1^st race.  You are doing a great thing to benefit all motorsports.  Keep up the great work and travel safe.  Thanks again for your interest in and including us in your guest.

 

Yours,

Mike Strange

KORRBC President

 

 

I also very much enjoyed my conversation with the track’s announcer, Brian Reeves.  Although we did not talk over the P.A., we did spend several minutes during intermission talking about the track and sanctioning group’s racing history.  It sounded like this group has been racing for more than 20 years at locations all around Kamloops.  It was a pleasure talking with Brian and I hope we didn’t hold up the program!

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

 

WHISPERING PINES MOTORSPORTS PARK, KAMLOOPS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – TRACK #1,195

 

This was my 4^th lifetime track to see in British Columbia.  That keeps me in the trackchasing lead up north here in British Columbia, Canada.  Carol is right behind with three BC tracks.  This gives her the runner-up spot in this province. 

 

Surprisingly, only 13 trackchasers have ever made it up here.  Only 18 official trackchasing visits have been recorded in British Columbia.  As mentioned, Carol and I are the only trackchasers to have ever made it to the Whispering Pines Motorsports Park.

 

 

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

WHISPERING PINES MOTORSPORTS PARK

 

Today was a very fun day of trackchasing.  It was a relaxing drive through Canada.  The track was easy to find.  The weather wasn’t great, about 58 degrees with off and on light rain. 

 

I had been corresponding with Mike Strange, the President of the Kamloops Off-Road Racing – British Columbia (www.korrbc.ca).  This group sanctions the racing at Whispering Pines.  They race sparingly here.  There are four events scheduled for 2007.  Today’s event was the first of the season.  They’ll also race once in June, September and October.  They’re dark in July and August because it gets hot in the middle of the summer and folks like to pursue their summer interests like boating and fishing.

 

When we entered the track property, we purchased our tickets.  General admission included a free 20-page program.  There was lots of good info in this program including names and numbers of drivers, class rules and local business information.  They even included a freestanding booklet on Lyme Disease a common disorder in this part of the country.  Ticks that carry this disease come from grassy areas. 

 

I have an extra copy of today’s program.  First person to respond to this mention gets it.  By the way, when I make an offer like this, I will always let you know who won whatever prize is being given away.  Due to the large volume of replies, I will not be able to respond to everyone who gets back to me.  I hope you understand.

 

They’ve been racing at this track for about six seasons according to the announcer, Brian Reeves.  They have raced in several other locations during the past 20 years or more of the KORRBC existence.  The track is located on an Indian reservation.  The Whispering Pines Clinton Indian Band owns the land.

 

Today’s racing was contested over a dirt road course.  There were 4-5 jumps that launched the pickup trucks and buggies several feet into the air.  There was some mixing and matching of classes because of a lower than normal car count.  There were about 20 competitors here today.  I was told the count is normally closer to thirty.

 

There is plenty of wooden grandstand seating.  Fans also bring lawn chairs or view the races from the back of their pickups.  Another popular viewing location is the beer garden!  The P.A. is strong and the announcer keeps everyone very well informed.  The 50/50 drawing was a surprisingly stout $250.

 

Carol and I came across a concession item that we’ve never seen before.  Have you ever heard of “bannock?”  This sounded like some form of fish to me, but it wasn’t.  We had never heard of bannock.  Bannock is a form of Indian fry bread.  If you lived in upstate New York, you might call it fried dough or elephant ears.

 

The vendor here is “Irene’s Bannock.”  Irene is an Indian grandmother type who was kneading the fresh dough as we ordered.  The bannock could be ordered plain or with brown sugar and raspberry jam added.  Alternatively, it could be ordered as we did with cheese inserted in the middle of the bannock.  We were always told not to miss “Indian tacos” while we were in the area.

 

The announcer talked about our trackchasing visit at length over the P.A. with the fans.  I could tell they were both fascinated and interested in this hobby.  When the track went to intermission, the announcer came down and talked to us for several minutes.  I actually think the program was delayed a few minutes because of our conversations!

 

Most competitors raced in two heats.  The heats were followed by three feature events.  The entire program was finished at about 3 p.m.  There were no full course yellow flags all day.  Occasionally, there were “corner yellows” but they did not slow the racing action.

 

The track’s topography was flat except for the manmade jumps.  This allowed the spectators to see the cars all the way around the track.  We timed one of the competitors in the beginner’s class and he completed a lap in one minute and twenty-two seconds.  That wasn’t very fast, but the track’s surface had a good deal of loose dirt and sand.  There was also a huge motocross track operating just beyond today’s road course track.  There is no affiliation between the motocross track and  Whispering Pines.

 

The track is located in a valley of mountains and green forests.  The scenery is very beautiful.  Today’s weather was coolish with temps in the high 50s.  It also sprinkled lightly from time to time but not enough to slow the program.  These folks race rain or shine so I wasn’t concerned with the rain as we approached the track. 

 

Overall, it was a fun day of rural road course racing.  I don’t see very many dirt road courses.  Everyone we met at the track was nice.  I was glad we made the trip all the way up here.

 

 

CAROL’S COMMENTS

 

There weren’t that many racers, but I liked the “cowboy” atmosphere and log cabin restrooms.  There were several Indians at the track.  It reminded me of Montana.  The announcer was so enthused about trackchasing, I’m afraid the afternoon’s program was delayed.  I’m glad it didn’t rain anymore than it did.  I thought the bannock was a little salty but the uniqueness of seeing Grandma kneed the dough made the experience worthwhile.

 

Editor’s note:  Don’t miss photos of the log cabin restrooms and Irene’s bannock at www.ranlayracing.com.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

 

Temperatures were in the high 50s.  It rained lightly off and on but not enough to affect the program.

 

 

 

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Seattle car – Saturday/Sunday/Monday

 

When I showed up at the Executive Selection lot area of National Rental Car, all they had were SUVs.  We were going to be putting some miles on our rental car and I didn’t want to accept SUV gas mileage at today’s higher than normal gas prices.  I also wanted a car with XM radio.

 

I explained my plight to the local National Car attendant.  He was very helpful.  He offered to let me choose any Alamo rental car that was in inventory at the airport.  National Rental Car and Alamo Rental Car are owned by the same folks.  Nevertheless, I’ve never see such a reciprocal agreement as was being offered to me today.

 

Just as I was pouring over the guy’s computer screen, an attendant came screeching up in a recently washed Chevy Impala with 25,000 miles on it.  Before the sound of the screeching tires stopped, I had located a car I wanted from the Alamo inventory on the computer screen.

 

Right there among all of those Chevies, SUVs and Grand Prixs was a Cadillac DTS.  No, this car would not give me great fuel mileage.  However, it did have only 2,000 miles on it and an XM radio.  I convinced my somewhat inexperienced rental agent that was the car for me.  The rental agent wanted to please and the car was mine.

 

The really great thing about getting this premium car was it was nearly free for the two days!  When I rent cars in one location  and plan to drop them off in another, I use “free day” coupons.  This was going to be a one-way rental.  I was picking it up in Seattle and planed to drop it in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  I would only have to pay the tax, about $21. 

 

I had entered the rental car parking lot only to find a number of undesirable cars, none of them with XM radio.  I ended up driving away in a nearly brand new Cadillac with the fresh smell of brand new leather.  Yes, life is good.

 

Saturday total driving miles – 141

Sunday total driving miles – 572

Monday total driving miles – 91

 

I drove this car 804 miles.  I paid an average price of $4.06 per gallon.  This high price was mainly due to 70% of the fuel being purchased in Canada.  At one gas stop in Canada, the fuel was $4.03 per gallon (converting from liters.)  At a rural, in the mountains, Canadian station the fuel was $4.83 a gallon.  The Cadillac gave us 23.7 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at a very high average cost of 17.2 cents per mile.  The car cost 2.6 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included. 

 

 

Chicago car – Friday/Saturday

 

Friday (and early Saturday morning) total driving miles – 255

 

I drove this car 255 miles.  I paid an average price of $3.72 per gallon.  This may have been my highest ever U.S. average fuel charge.  The Pontiac Grand Prix gave me 24.5 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at a very high average cost of 15.2 cents per mile.  The car cost 11.9 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included. 

 

 

Atlanta car – Wednesday/Thursday/Friday

Wednesday total driving miles – 131

Thursday (and early Friday morning) total driving miles – 422

 

My rental car wasn’t the cleanest one I’ve ever rented.  I had to move two other cars so I could get to one that had XM radio, but it was worth it.  This will likely be the first of four rental cars on this trip.

 

I drove the car 553 miles.  I paid an average price of $2.99 per gallon.  The Chevy Impala Prix gave me 28.2 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at an average cost of 10.6 cents per mile.  The car cost 17.7 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
