Randy Lewis

World's #1 Ranked Trackchaser

BOYD'S SPEEDWAY, RINGGOLD, GEORGIA



I changed course and flew into Atlanta rather than Cincinnati to avoid the stormy weather.  Then.....after driving 120 miles north of Atlanta, and just seven miles from tonight's track I ran into this!








Nevertheless, somehow they got the race in.








It looks like the press box might topple over in a strong wind.








I wasn't the only one tempting tonight's weather gods.








Overall, a nice crowd came out on what turned out to be a very nice evening.








I spent hours in the dirt racing my cars around an oval just like this kid.  I had 40-50 different toy cars all numbered like the Peoria Speedway hot shoes of the day.








I was a little nervous as they continued to pack the track under threatening skies.








The pony stocks put on a good show at they raced around turns one and two.








The hobby stocks had a small field but raced close.








With all the bad weather in the area, I never thought I'd get this picture.  The track's announcer asked the crowd to "give God a round of applause" for making such a pretty sunset.  I was part of those clapping my hands.








I noticed this sign on the way out.  This was a nice touch from a track that seems to care about their fans.

IN MEMORY

 

I was saddened to learn of the untimely death of Hawkeye Racing News reporter, Ruby Sorensen.  Ruby died in a car crash in her home town of Holland, Minnesota.  She was 84.  I’ve been reading Ruby’s columns for as long as she’s been writing them, more than 20 years.  Rest in peace, Ruby.






AND THE READERS RESPOND

 

From time to time interested readers write me about one thing or another.  Many times, I feel that my readers would be interested and/or amused by the comments I get.  Here’s what a SoCal reader had to say about our recent visit to the Mormon

Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

Randy’s note:  “Thus, we joined up with Sister Jorgensen.  She was a pleasant older lady of about 60 years of age.”

 

Michael’s reply:  Hi Randy,  ‘she was a pleasant OLDER LADY OF ABOUT 60!!!!!! ??????  Randy, I’m 58.  I feel like I’ve just entered puberty, and Nancy is constantly telling me to grow up.  60 IS NOT older.  That’s our parents.”

GREETINGS FROM RINGGOLD, GEORGIA

 





I WOKE UP IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA.  I WENT TO SLEEP IN JONESBORO, GEORGIA.   THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.







PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

The Strategy     

 

Trackchasing strategy requires making choices.  In order to have choices, you must have options.  When I was deciding about this trip, these were the two options I considered.  Which would you pick?

 

Option A

 

I could sleep in until 8 a.m. or so on Friday morning.  Hey, I’m retired, where do I have to go?  Then I could get up and eat breakfast.  Yes, Carol prepares a better than Denny’s quality hot breakfast for me every morning.  Then I could go out on the deck and watch the surfers for a while.  When I tired of that, I could drive the 10 minutes over to my country club and play golf in the Don Robbins Friday golf group.  I would finish up there about 4 p.m.  Then, I would come home and shower.  When I was all fresh, I’d take Carol out to dinner at one of the many fine eateries in San Clemente.  Finally, the evening would be capped off with a little TV and an early to bed evening.

 

 

Option B

 

Option B was much different than hanging around San Clemente all day.  It’s the option I picked.  I awoke at 4:45 a.m.  I showered and shaved and was backing out the driveway at 5:05 a.m.  I drove in the dark to the Orange County Airport.  There I waited in the airport’s gate area, to see if I would get a seat on the 6:45 a.m. non-stop departure to Atlanta.  The flight had nine open seats, and nine people on standby.  I got one of the very last seats.  Of course, it was a middle seat.   To make matters worse, it was a middle seat in front of the exit row.  That meant my seat would not recline.

 

I sat in this middle seat that would not recline between two large men for five hours.  Of course, the woman seated in front of me reclined her seat for the entire five-hour flight.  As luck would have it, when I boarded the plane they had no more room for carryon baggage.  This meant I had to check my bag.  This also meant a 20-minute delay for me while I waited for my bag after the plane landed.  Atlanta is behind only the Orange County airport for more than tardy delivery of checked baggage.

 

From there I was off to get my rental car for the 120+ mile drive to tonight’s track.  The weather forecast had called for a 10% chance of rain in the area tonight.  That’s why I came here rather than going with my original plan of Cincinnati, where the weather had turned terrible.  As I drove northward, I could see the weather changing for the worst.  XM radio’s weather channel called for storms in Northern Georgia.  They were right!  Just seven miles from the track, the skies let loose and it poured.  If this track were rained out, then all of today’s travel would be wasted.  However, the rain cell was not large.  Just one mile from the track the rains stopped.  I got my race in.  Then it was a 120+ mile drive back to my motel in Atlanta.  I arrived at 1 a.m. and immediately set my alarms for 5:45 a.m. (2:45 a.m. San Clemente time) so I could begin my second day of trackchasing.

 

Option A or Option B?


So, there you have it.  Which option would you have picked?  Option A, a day at the beach and a round of golf, or Option B, a day “out among ‘em” across three time zones and several weather patterns.  That’s what great about America.  You get to choose!




The Trip

 

I now make my final trackchasing plan about 48 hours before I walk out the door of my San Clemente bungalow.  When you travel cross country, do you ever wait until 48 hours before departure before you decide where you are headed?

 

Yes, I know that planning 48 hours in advance might seem like an eternity to some of my readers.  However, sometimes I don’t even have that much time to preplan the event.  The night before I was to leave for this trip I noticed the weather was turning bad in the greater Cincinnati area.  I was scheduled to land in the Queen city at 6:24 p.m. on Friday night.  My sources at www.weather.com told me a major line of thunderstorms would be getting there just when I did.  That wouldn’t do!

 

So…..with less than 12 hours before departure, I changed my travel plans.  I know that some folks think the only reason I can trackchase the way I do is because of the airline sponsorship deals I’ve been able to strike.  I would disagree with that assessment on two counts.

 

First, check my stats.  I went to 182 new and different tracks during the 2005 season.  I didn’t have any sponsorship when I was able to pull that off.  I doubt that I or anyone else will ever top 182 new tracks in a season, sponsorship or not.

 

Secondly, the advantage of my sponsorship is not cost, but flexibility.  I am able to change arrival or departure cities on less than five minutes notice.  The key to my being able to make these changes is there is ZERO financial liability associated with the change.  Yes, it’s nice to get free or dramatically reduced airfares.  What’s really nice in having the ability to change the flight plan at the very last minute without it costing a penny more.  It’s a lot like having one’s own private trackchasing jet.

 

My new plan had me beginning the trip in Atlanta rather than Cincinnati.  I would watch a race Friday night in Georgia.  Then I would fly up to Cincinnati on Saturday morning to begin the rest of the originally planned trip.  The weekend weather forecast for Ohio was perfect.

 

Changing the plan did require me to leave my house at 5:15 a.m. rather than 9:30 a.m. with the original plan.  It did require me to drive about 120 miles upon arrival rather than about 35 miles that the original plan called for.  It did require me to clear airport security three times during the trip rather than just two.  However, none of this really bothered me.  You see, I will do whatever it takes to make a trackchasing plan work.  That’s just the way I do it.

 

 

 

 

 

The People

 

I meet some interesting people when I trackchase.  Tonight I met a fellow named Steve Millen.  Steve is the track’s announcer.  Steve became aware of my attendance when he received a trackchaser press release from RANLAY Racing.

 

The south is a friendly place and the Boyd’s Speedway is a more than friendly place, even for a southern track.  Steve noted I was from San Clemente.  He recalled that his Marine Corps NCO (non-commissioned officer) training was at Camp Pendleton.  Pendleton borders the city of San Clemente.  As a matter of fact, if one of my fellow competitors duck hooks his tee shot on the second hole of Royal Lytham at my Pacific Golf Club, he will be looking for his ball on Camp Pendleton property. 

 

I did my rifle training in Marine Corps boot camp at Camp Pendleton.  Whenever I reach “Lytham #2” I tell all those who are playing with me that “it’s a lot nicer on this side of the fence that on the OTHER side of that fence.”

 

Nevertheless, announcer Steve actually came down to the grandstand and sat with me for a few moments while the track was being ironed out.  He told me the track has been running here since 1952.  It has had a paved surface on two different occasions but now races on dirt.

 

Steve is a very entertaining announcer.  He had more southern phrases than “you could shake a stick at” as my grandmother used to say.  In addition to these southern witticisms, Steve handled the track prayer AND sung the national anthem.  I can count on one hand the number of times the announcer has done that.  Most importantly, he did it very well. 

 

Some of Steve’s calls and descriptions that I recall include:

 

“Dag blame it”

 

“No bout a doubt it”

 

After the flagman waved the green flag on the very first lap and the green cloth flew off the flagstick and fell 20 feet to the ground,  “He slung it plumb off the pole”

 

After he made an announcing mistake, he told the crowd,

“I’m a member of the Harvest Baptist Church of the deaf.  I know they didn’t hear it.”

 

“He’s got a dangling deck lid.  I know there’s a rule in our rule book about a dangling deck lid somewhere.”

 

“Yellows gone, green is on.”

 

“We need your business to be a sponsor of the track.  Really we need your money!”

 

“We need butts in the seats, so ask your neighbor or best friend to come out to the races.”

 

“Give the lord a hand for making that sunset.”  Editor’s note:  It WAS a beautiful sunset.”

 

I missed so many other sayings of his!

RACE TRACK NEWS:

 

BOYD’S SPEEDWAY


This was not my first attempt to attend this speedway.  I was here back when the place was called the Tennessee-Georgia Speedway and was rained out.  The track was sold at auction last fall and re-opened as Boyd’s Speedway, its original name, just two months ago.  The track sits directly on the Georgia-Tennessee line.  To get there I drove north on I-75 from Georgia and took the first exit in Tennessee.  From that exit, I drove a block or two south and I was back in Georgia!

 

The driver’s meeting was held under the big oak tree in the pit area.  The pit area sits just beyond turns 1 and 2.  It is also only a driver and crisply hit 6 iron from Interstate 75.  I was told the state lines of Georgia and Tennessee run right down the middle of that oak tree.

 

Back in March, I visited the Toccoa Speedway, also a quarter-mile bullring type of dirt oval in Georgia.  Some thought I was a little too direct, nay I say harsh in my overview of their program.  How would I compare Boyd’s with Toccoa?  Well, they’re both a little run down, Toccoa more so that Boyd’s.  Nevertheless, that’s part of their charm.  If I wanted to go to the Taj Mahal, I might head to the Atlanta Motor Speedway or the Lowe’s Motor Speedway.  I want to see quarter mile bullrings.  They are my most favorite kind of track of the myriad of offerings I visit.

 

There were some significant differences between Toccoa and Boyd’s.  Toccoa started one hour and 15 minutes late.  Boyd’s start three minutes after their scheduled start time.  Toccoa wasted the fan’s time by running time trials in the middle of the program.  Boyd’s did not run any time trials.  In the first three hours after the scheduled start time at Toccoa, they had managed to run two street stock heats and a 10-lap bomber feature.  Three hours after the Boyd’s program began, I had seen their entire program and was already 50 miles down I-75 on my way back to Atlanta.

 

When I make comparisons, a critical remark or offer gushing praise, I try to make my conclusions data based.  The above paragraph offers examples of that.  With all of that being said, it’s not impossible that on any other night, my conclusions might have been entirely different.  Remember, too a trackchaser, the track only gets “one chance to make a good first impression.”

 

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about Boyd’s organization when I arrived.  I didn’t really know what time the races were scheduled to start.  With rain in the area, I arrived at 7 p.m.  It seemed to me like they were wasting time with the weather threatening.  While they were running hot laps it began to sprinkle. 

 

Some of the fans may have driven a few blocks to come to this race.  I had flown nearly the entire width of the United States to see this race.  As a matter of fact, I had changed my destination from Cincinnati to Atlanta just to avoid the rain.  I was going to be one pretty bent out of shape trackchaser if they let this would get away because of the weather.  At 7:47 p.m., one person screamed over the radio, “it’s raining harder now.”  I was starting to squirm.  Fortunately, the light rain stopped and the first countable trackchasing heat race began at the aforementioned 8:03 p.m.

 

It seems like I run into more questionable calls that must go before the Trackchaser Commissioner than all of the other trackchasers combined.  Our trackchasing rules state that we must see “competitive racing” before we can count a track.

 

Tonight the “A Hobby” stock cars were the first heat on the track.  The weather was threatening.  The cars roared down toward the flag stand.  The starter threw the green flag and the race was on.  I mean he “really threw the green flag.”  You see, when he waved the green flag the green cloth flew off his flag stick and landed on the ground some 20 feet below where the flagman was perched.  With that, the starter displayed the yellow caution flag while the green cloth was retrieved. 

 

My questions is this.  If the skies had opened up with a downpour of rain at this point, could I count the track?  The green flag had been waved, the cars had raced competitively if only for a lap or less before the yellow flag came out for a fallen green flag.  Fortunately, it did not rain and the races continued.  I would not have wanted to go to the TC with track counting issue.

 

The announcer really interacted with the fans.  He stood in an open press box just 20 feet from many people in the grandstand.  He yelled at them and they yelled at him.  That’s how they do it down here.  He frequently reminded the patrons that they were not allowed to “sit on the red painted sections of the grandstand.”  These were the aisle ways.  Too many tracks don’t say a word about this and it makes it very difficult to go up and down the grandstand.

 

The announcer told the crowd that the insurance company required them to keep their grandstand exits clear.  Later in the program a driver injured his hand in a fierce wreck on the backstretch.  A call over the radio said that if he had indeed broken his hand an “accident report” would have to be completed.  They also displayed the yellow flag a little too often for my tastes due too on track debris.  Sounds to me like they’ve got a new insurance company.

 

I was most pleased to see there were no mid-program time trials at tonight’s track, which is normally a southern dirt track tradition.  The heats were finished in just 52 minutes.  The car counts were not large, but most classes were big enough for a track of this length.  It’s a recipe for yellow flag disaster to start 20 cars or more on one of these tracks.

 

The limited late models put on a good feature event.  The driver who broke his hand hit the freestanding backstretch wooden wall head-on at full speed.  He came to a sudden stop just feet from the initial impact point and rolled over on his top.  The wreck looked bad.  Fortunately, the driver was not seriously injured.

 

Overall, I was relieved to get this track in tonight.  I enjoyed the announcer and it was fun to see a racetrack that sits right on a state line.  I’ve seen one other track, Stateline Speedway that sits on the Ohio/Indiana border. 

 

 


 

 

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Atlanta, GA – Friday/Saturday

 

The Pontiac Grand Prix I picked out had only 655 miles on it.  Rental cars are a great consumer value.  Would you rent me your brand new car for 30 bucks a day and let me drive it as far as I wanted?  I doubt it.

 

This rental car had something I’ve never seen before.  It had a hologram of sorts.  From the driver ’s seat, an image appears when I look through the windshield.  As if by magic, just a foot or so above the hood line, three pieces of information are displayed just like they are hanging in mid-air.  The car’s direction, speed and outside temperature are shown in green digital numbers and letters.  It’s the dangest thing I ever saw!

 

I drove this car 260 miles.  I paid an average price of $2.96 per gallon.  This is one dollar less per gallon than last week’s gas prices in Alberta, Canada.  Georgia has just about the lowest gasoline and hotel prices of any place I travel too.  My Pontiac Grand Prix gave me 23.3 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at a cost of 12.7 cents per mile.  The car cost 13.2 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS

 

I was dodging the weather when I changed my arrival point from Cincinnati to Atlanta.  Now, I’m trying to dodge the travelers whose Friday night flying plans were screwed up from that bad weather.  If I’m not delayed by them, it’s back to the original Ohio weekend trackchasing plan.
