WE WOKE UP IN BANFF, ALBERTA, CANADA.  THEN CAROL AND I WENT TO SLEEP IN TREMONTON, UTAH.  WE ARRIVED HOME THE NEXT DAY, TUESDAY.   THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy     

 

Wow!  I love it when a plan comes together.  My overriding trackchasing objective is to see as many new tracks as I can.  A number of ancillary and supportive plans fall under that primary objective.

 

One of those support objectives is to not spend more than one night a week on average away from Trackchasing’s First Mother.  I am happy that she joins me from time to time on the trackchasing trail.  So far, in 2007, twenty-two weeks have been completed.  I have traveled away from home 53 nights and Carol has been away for 24.  That gives me 29 nights spent away from Carol over 22 weeks.  That’s an average of 1.3 nights.  That’s not too far from the objective of one night/week.

 

Another objective in the search of a balanced lifestyle is to have my golfing days equal my trackchasing days.  I’ve been golfing 40 times this year and have 43 trackchasing days to my credit.  Things are going pretty well here as well.

 

Alas, the trackchasing vs. golfing balance is not limited too quantity.  The quality of my golf is good.  With an index hovering around 6.0, I am only a shot or two from the best golf I have ever played.  If I was a little smarter, I would be at my lowest indices in my golfing life.  How many games can you play where you are much better at age 58, than you were at age 30?

 

I have another sub-objective of leading the state trackchasing rankings in the 13 Western states.  During this trip, I was able to gain at least a share of the lead in both Washington and Idaho.  I’m not sure if a trackchaser has ever taken over the lead in two different states during just one trackchasing trip.  This now gives me the state lead in six of those 13 Western states.  I’m happy with the progress and expect to do even better with this soon.

 

Finally, an unspoken objective is simply to have fun!  I hope you can read between the lines that I have the most fun possible planning and implementing these trips.  For me, it’s a blast!

 

 

 

The Trip

 

Wow!  I love trackchasing over holiday weekends like Memorial Day and Labor Day.  The typical three-day weekend (Fri-Sun) can usually be expanded to 4-6 days and the tracks can really be racked up. 

 

How long do you think it took to plan this itinerary?

Yes, I did all of this in just six days.  The trip involved seven airplanes and four rental cars.  Carol joined up in the middle and caught the action with three airplanes and two rental cars.

 

This added up to 2,080 miles driven in rental cars.  That’s still less than 300 miles per track, which isn’t bad.  The airplane mileage for the seven flights came in at 5,599 miles.  That gave me a total of 7,679 total miles for the trip.  Ooops!  I forgot the ferryboat mileage.  That would be about another nine miles.

 

Does this plan sound complex and rigorous in any way?  Let me add one complicating factor to the overall equation.  Memorial Day is one of the busier travel weekends of the year.  Carol and I flew on a combined 10 flights during this trip.  We flew on NINE of those ten flights on a STANDBY basis!  Yes, we are active seniors with a nose for adventure.

 

I was able to add seven new tracks in five days.  Carol added four new tracks in three days.  At this stage in our trackchasing careers, those are big holiday weekend numbers.  We were also able to see some of the most rugged and beautiful snow-capped mountains in the world for eight continuous hours of driving through Canada.

 

The trip was made even better with Trackchasing Tourist Attractions in Seattle at the Pike Place Market and in Salt Lake City, home to the Mormon Church.  It was a lovely trip.  Carol will now go home and rest.  Well not really, she will go home and manage our household.  What will I do?  I’ll head out on my next trackchasing trip!

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRACKCHASING TOURIST ATTRACTION

 

Carol and I were able to experience a Trackchasing Tourist Attraction that I have looked forward to for a very long time.  During my business career, I spent a good deal of time in Salt Lake City.  Part of that time was working with Pittsburgh Pirates’ Kent Teculve’s college roommate, Mr. Dan Feist.

 

I have always wanted to visit the Mormon Tabernacle.  Today, we had that chance.  The Mormon Church is headquartered in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.  We were most fortunate to happen by the Mormon Tabernacle when the doors were opened.  We walked in as if we owned the place and sat down while a man played the organ.  The sound in this building is fantastic.  A woman came up and demonstrated how you could hear a pin drop.  The sights and sounds were unbelievable.  Take a look at www.ranlayracing.com for some shots of what we saw.

 

We also were able to go inside the church assembly hall.  The Salt Lake Temple is a majestic beauty in this complex as well but it is not open to non-members of the church.

 

We were about ready to leave for the airport when someone suggested we not miss the Mormon Conference Center.  I’m glad we got that tip.  We entered a massive foyer.  We were immediately greeted, in a somewhat controlling fashion, by a man who wanted to arrange a tour for us of the conference center.  We had only 10 minutes or so, so a full-blown tour wasn’t going to work.

 

We mentioned we would like to go up on the roof for a view of the botanical gardens.  This could be arranged, the man told us.  We were soon handed off to Sister Jorgensen.  We were joined by two young girls, from Germany and Japan, who were in Salt Lake as part of their church mission.

 

You probably know that most young Mormon men serve a two-year mission for the church somewhere in the world.  This is not mandatory but most do it.  We have friends who have had their sons go on missions.  They are only allowed to call home one time per year during the two-year mission!

 

California has a large Mormon population.  We frequently see the young Mormon’s (dressed in white shirts and ties) moving about the area where we live.  I’ve never heard their pitch, but am always a bit leery of their approach.

 

Thus, we joined up with Sister Jorgensen.  She was a pleasant older lady of about 60 years of age.  She, like the other tour guides, volunteers one day per week to lead these tours.  I must admit, that even though she was pleasant, I felt like I would feel in the presence of a Fuller Brush salesman.  I tried to be on my guard!

 

I should not have worried.  Carol and I were not spirited off into some darkened cellar where water torture was administered until we agreed to convert to the Mormon religion.  Instead, Sister Jorgensen patiently answered our questions.  She also gave us some background on the Mormon Church, its Prophet (President) and their 12 Apostles.

 

The rooftop of the conference center covers four acres.  Much of that space is covered with fountains and foliage.  It’s quite beautiful as is the view.  We finished off the tour with a peek inside the massive conference center auditorium.  It’s huge and gorgeous.  This is where the Mormon Tabernacle choir performs.  All in all, a very impressive visit.

 

We finished off our afternoon with a special place for lunch.  Son, J.J. did his final SkyWest pilot training in Salt Lake.  He recommended the Himalayan Kitchen.  I don’t have a great background in Indian and Nepali cuisine, but I’m willing to try everything at least once.  The food was good.  I’m glad we went there.  If you go to Salt Lake and like this kind of food, I recommend it.

 

As always, photos of these Trackchasing Tourist Attractions can be seen at www.ranlayracing.com. 

 

 

 

The People

 

I must admit that every Mormon person I’ve ever met is both nice and good-looking.  I don’t really know why there seems to be such a stigma centering around their religion.  It seems that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, also nice and good-looking is suffering from this religious paranoia as well.

 

 

 

 

 

RACE TRACK STATS:

 

MAGIC VALLEY SPEEDWAY, TWIN FALLS, IDAHO – TRACK #1,196

 

This was my sixth track to see in Idaho.  I am now tied with Allan Brown for first place in the potato state.  This is my third separate visit in 2007 to the state that calls the Western White Pine its state tree.  I have now seen new tracks in 20 U.S. states, two Canadian provinces as well as New Zealand this year.

 

This was Carol’s fourth lifetime Idaho track.  The new track puts her into fourth place in the state’s lifetime trackchasing rankings.  More importantly, to me anyway, is that her ascension to fourth place, pushes my nearest competitor, Gordon Killian down one spot into fifth place.  Net, I gain one NGD position by moving from second to first.  I also gain one point on my nearest fellow competitor when he moves down from fourth to fifth.  I have half of that gain to thank my trackchasing teammate for.  Thank you, Carol!

 

Today’s track supports my primary trackchasing strategy of trying to become the #1 ranked trackchaser is all 13 Western states by 2009 (except California).  Now that I lead in Idaho, I sit atop the standings in six Western states.  At the bottom of this report, you can see where I rank in each of these states as of today. 

 

 

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

MAGIC VALLEY SPEEDWAY

 

We had fun at the Magic Valley Speedway tonight.  I had called in advance to make sure I understood the logistical details.  I told the man that I was a trackchaser.  He replied by saying, “Tonight won’t be one of our better programs.  We’re just running an enduro.”

 

Of course, I didn’t care if I was going to see the very best race that had ever been run at the Magic Valley Speedway.  I was looking for a new track opportunity on a Monday night, Memorial Day.  They could be running ANYTHING and I would be satisfied.

 

When we arrived at the track, the wind was blowing about 100 M.P.H.  O.K, maybe not that strong, but the wind was really blowing.  It blew all night.  With a temperature of about 65 degrees, the wind made it feel like about 45 degrees.

 

The tickets were a super low six bucks.  The facility here is in great shape especially for Western U.S. tracks where sometimes the overall track properties are not up to par.  The track features a five-position scoreboard and lap counter.  The P.A. system is strong.  The track restrooms are large and in good condition.  There is ample grandstand seating all along the front straight.  The pit area sits off turn one of the quarter-mile asphalt oval.

 

Today’s announcer was a woman.  I mention this because in my 1,196 tracks seen, less than five have had women announcers.  She did a better than average job today.  She even suggested with about 180 laps complete that maybe they should stop the race and run the cars on the inner oval.  I had no idea how that would have been ruled on by the Trackchaser Commissioner.

 

I had an excellent cheeseburger from the portable concession stand.  However, when I returned to the stand in the middle of the race to get a coffee for Trackchasing’s First Mother, they were out.  I was told to wait five minutes.  I did.  Still no coffee.  I waited longer.  Finally, the server told me she could substitute hot chocolate for the coffee.  That worked for me and TFM was O.K. with it as well.

 

I received a very nice trackchaser mention from the announcing stand tonight.  There was something about this announcement that made it extra memorable.  Many times, following this form of recognition, the announcer will call for a round of applause.  Tonight’s announcer pressed a button and a sound track of applause greeted me.  Yes, there is always something new at each track I visit.

 

We came close to getting a “same location” trackchasing double tonight.  The Magic Valley Speedway has both an inner and outer oval.  I was told the inner oval was added just this year.  Tonight the “teen bees” raced on the smaller track.  The teen bee’s class is for drivers 14-15 years of age.  Therefore, I could not count the track.

 

However, the “queen bees” do race on the smaller oval a couple of times per year.  This is a class reserved for the ladies and includes adult drivers.  Maybe some day we will be back to see those queen bees.

 

The main attraction of the night was a 16-car, 200-lap enduro for the hornet division.  The race was contested on the outer oval.  In true enduro fashion, the race was run without a yellow flag.  They did hold a red flag in reserve, but never needed it.  Two of the cars battled nearly the entire 200 laps for the lead.  They lapped the field and finished under a blanket at the checkered flag.

 

The final highlight of the evening and the trip was meeting up with Jeremy Wayne from Channel 11, the local CBS TV affiliate in Twin Falls.  Following the races, he invited me up to the press box and we did an interview to be shown at a later date with the highlights of today’s races.

 

After we wrapped up the interview, Jeremy had this to say.  “Normally, when I interview people I have to really prompt them to respond.  With you, I simply asked a question, and you carried the ball.  You really seem to know what you’re talking about with this trackchasing.”  Carol got a kick out of his comment.  Thanks, Jeremy, I appreciate your words.  Carol was standing off to the side taking pictures of the TV interview.  Check ‘em out at www.ranlayracing.com.

 

There were a couple of other somewhat unusual things at today’s track that were positive.  First, the track had one-way radio communication with each driver.  This was helpful when advising a disabled driver to remain in his car or to let the driver know that help was on the way.

 

Additionally, they played music in the background while the entire 200-laps were being run.  It was mostly 50s and 60s music and this worked out very well.  Carol and I both liked this touch.  All in all, considering the weather wasn’t the best with the wind, we enjoyed our visit to the Magic Valley Speedway.

 

CAROL’S COMMENTS

 

The advertising billboards are nice and fresh.  They need weed killer in the cracks near the V.I.P. tower.  They didn’t use any yellow flags.  Ya!

WEATHER CONDITIONS

 

It was windy.  I mean windy!  It was so windy; it made the 65-degree temperature feel downright cold.

 

 

 

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Salt Lake City car – Monday/Tuesday

 

Monday total driving miles – 387

Tuesday total driving miles – 81

 

I drove this car 468 miles.  I paid an average price of $3.26 per gallon.  The Chevy Impala gave us 28.0 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at a cost of 11.6 cents per mile.  The car cost 10.3 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included. 

 

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 did not 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.  The same folks own national Rental Car and Alamo Rental Car.  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.

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS

 

I try to adhere to my policy of sending you no more than one Trackchaser Report per day.  By the time you receive this, my fifth Trackchaser Report from Memorial Day weekend’s adventure, I will be in Boise for the NEXT trackchasing weekend.

 

I’m not content with only being tied for first place in Idaho.  I am also not content with leading only one Canadian province in trackchasing.  More to follow.
