AND THE READERS RESPOND

 

 

From time to time interested readers write me about one thing or another.  Many times, I feel that all my readers would be interested, informed and/or amused by the comments I get. 

 

These are a couple of responses I received when I wrote the following about my recent visit to the King Ribs BBQ joint in Indianapolis: “They serve sweet potato pie and chess pie for dessert.  I had never heard of chess pie, so that’s what I wanted.  They were out of it!  I asked what chess pie was.  “It’s kind of hard to describe,” I was told.  “It’s got lots of sugar, butter and eggs”.  Sounds good to me!  I’ll try it next time”.

 

 

 

 

From an ex-North Carolina resident:

 

Melanie will make you a chocolate chess pie for dessert the next time you and Carol are over for dinner.  Melanie thinks that when asked what type of pie was for dessert, the server told the guest that it was "just pie".(it's hard to use the right southern dialect in e-mail!) The agreed to interpretation of this became chess pie. One other thought about how the pie got its name is that it "held up well" in the pie chest.

 

 

From Texas:

 

Definitely do try chess pie when you get the chance.  Before I went to work for P&G, I taught and coached high school for five years, and the cafeteria of the school where I taught served chess pie that had been made fresh there.  I can't describe it any better than she did -- "lots of sugar, butter, and eggs" pretty much covers it.  Great stuff!  (But I don't think it will make anyone's health food list.)

GREETINGS BONE GAP, ILLINOIS AND THEN MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY.

 

 

 

 

 

I WOKE UP IN OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY THIS MORNING.  I WENT TO SLEEP IN OWENSBORO, KENTUCKY.  THIS WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TIME WHEN I STAYED IN THE SAME HOTEL FOR TWO CONSECUATIVE NIGHTS.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

 

 

The Strategy     

 

This is my fifth trackchasing double in 9 days of trackchasing.  No one gets more production than that.  I have to keep reminding myself of one thing when I plan these trips.  I don’t have to see every last North American track in 2007!

 

Between this afternoon’s track that I actually saw (SOIL MX) and the evening track that I actually saw (Western Kentucky Speedway), I attempted to see an event at Fast Tracks, a go-kart type track in Vincennes, Indiana.  Had I been successful at  Fast Tracks, I never would have gone down to the Western Kentucky Speedway track.

 

I arrived in Vincennes, Indiana in the late afternoon.  I figured since this was somewhat of a small town, that just about anyone would know where the track was.  After ordering a strawberry cheesecake flurry at the local Dairy Queen, I learned that the server who “knew where everything is in town, since I’ve lived here all my life” did not have any idea where the track was.  A couple of local looking guys sitting in their pickup truck in a residential neighborhood didn’t either.  Finally, I saw a caged kart being hauled along in the back of a pick-up truck.

 

I tailed them for several blocks as they drove through downtown.  Finally, I saw my opportunity and pulled up beside them at a stop sign.  They knew where the track was but they were not taking their go-kart there.  Soon I had my directions to the Fast Tracks facility located north of Vincennes on route 41.

 

I entered the track at about 5 p.m.  There were just a few trailers in the pit area for an event that was supposed to start at 7 p.m.  My internet resources had told me this was supposed to be a big event.  Not!

 

I was directed to the manager’s office and the man himself, Cecil.  Cecil was an older guy.  I told him what I was up too.  It went something like this, “Hi Cecil.  My name’s Randy.  I’m from California.  I’m part of a trackchasing group that goes all over the country trying to see as many different racetracks as we can.  In the world of go karting, we can only count caged karts.  Are you going to be racing any caged karts today.  All I need to see is two caged karts in a race”.

 

Now this was all new information to Cecil.  Nevertheless, he immediately began trying to help me solve the problem.  Here’s the funny thing about this.  I think I could have pulled in and said to Cecil.  “I’m from the penal farm just up the road and we’ve been let out on a six-hour pass.  We’re doing a treasure hunt and I need to find a bag of marshmallows and six buffalo nickels”.  I’m sure Cecil’s reaction would have been the same.  “Let’s see what we can do to help you.”  Yep!  This is the way folks are in the rural Midwest.  They’re just salt of the earth.

 

As my eyes gazed around Cecil’s office/garage, I spied the most beautiful senior champ kart (yes, trackchasing countable) that I had ever seen.  Cecil saw where I was looking and gave me a complete rundown on this champ kart’s specs.  Yes, this kart would race tonight if any other caged karts showed up.  I asked what would happen if this was the only caged kart that was here tonight.  Would the kart race by itself (not countable by trackchasing rules) or would the champ kart be thrown into another class to race (this would be trackchasing countable).

 

It’s important at this stage of this Trackchaser Report to make a comment about trackchaser ethics.  It would not have been very difficult for me to “encourage” (wink) Cecil to make a countable race out of what we had here tonight.  First of all, Cecil was an agreeable guy.  Secondly, I’m sure if I had asked Cecil to run a race where his champ kart was in a countable trackchasing race with some of the other flat karts, he would have done it for me.

 

However, the RANLAY does not roll that way.  I know other trackchasers who have done it that way, but I don’t.  Cecil had an idea of his own.  He said, “young man, let’s go out in the pit area.  I think I saw another caged kart in one of the race trailers”.  With that, he directed me to follow him.  We marched up to each trailer with Cecil saying, “This man’s from California.  He came all this way to see at least two caged karts race.  Do you have a caged kart in your trailer?”  At each pit area, we visited, the answer was the same.  No, they did not have any caged karts with them tonight.  One team had one at home, but at the last minute they decided not to bring it.

 

In the end, I thanked Cecil for his help.  He had tried.  I gave him my card and asked him to call me in the next 30 minutes if a caged kart pulled in late.  He promised there would be more caged karts in the fall.  I hope he is right.  I would like to return to the Vincennes, Indiana area for another strawberry cheesecake flurry and a countable track.

 

The Trip

 

After nine days on the road, one highway looks like the next.  I don’t know how I ever did this before having my portable GPS system.  Now I almost never get lost and don’t have to worry about bringing any maps or reading them in the dark.  This is nirvana.

 

Nevertheless, the SOIL MX track was not on any GPS system that I knew about.  Fortunately, the track was “sign-posted”.  This a European term that simply means the track had signs directing folks to their track.  That was necessary, because this is all farmland in this part of Illinois.  There are lots of gravel roads and tall cornfields.  During some parts of the gravel road driving, I felt I was in one of those “corn mazes” that are so popular in the Midwest around Halloween.

 

 

 

 

The People

 

I ran into Ed Esser at the SOIL MX track.  As part of my trackchaser imposed amnesty program, I had provided this race date to him.  I’m still waiting for a return trackchasing date from him!

 

Ed is a more than solid trackchaser.  I don’t know how I keep up with him.  It’s just like playing golf with my friend, George Robertson.  He hits the ball 50-100 yards or so past me on the drive.  I don’t know how I can ever beat him on the few occasions that I do.

 

Tonight’s track in Madisonville, Kentucky was a bit like old home week.  My paternal kinfolk were Kentuckians.  I try to convince my Southern friends, without much success, that I am “part Southern”.  How else would you explain me having a name like “Randy Neal”.  It’s not too dissimilar to “Billy Bob” or “Tommy Ray”.  Nevertheless, I find many of the Kentuckians to be about as rural folk as I come across.  Of all the states I travel too, West Virginia takes the cake in this category, but places like Kentucky and Arkansas are not far behind.

 

 

 

STATE RANKINGS

This was the 70^th track I have seen in my home state of Illinois.  I maintain my second place position here behind Ed Esser who has 85 tracks in the prairie state.

 

The Western Kentucky Speedway gave me my 22^nd lifetime track in Kentucky.  I am just one Bluegrass track behind Ed Esser’s 23-track total.  Rick Schneider leads in Kentucky with 44 states.

RACE REVIEW – SOIL MX, BONE GAP, ILLINOIS – TRACK #1,234

Today’s racing was sponsored by the Mid-America Off-Road Racing group (http://www.maoraracing.com/).  I’ve been too several of their shows in and around Illinois.  Today’s racetrack was a “first-ever” event at this location.  This made it a very attractive trackchasing find.

 

The track, called SOIL MX, even has its own website at http://www.soilmx.com/.  Here’s what their site has to say about the history of the track:

 

“In 2004, I built a small track for me and my buddies to play around on.  We rode most Sunday afternoons that we could, the track not always in the best of shape!  My wife and I enjoyed building the track and having a place where families could get together and have a good time, without driving further from home.  On June 15 of 2005, we had our first baby girl.  And one week later, I rented a dozer and went to work.  The small track was fun!  But to open for more traffic, I decided to move the location and build a larger, motocross style track.  We cleared quite a bit from the woods that surrounds the open field so the track could go in and out several times.  As the summer ended, the track took shape.  I found an old fire truck and decided to use it to water the track.  The lane leading to the track had to be built up and rocked.  There was no electricity, but now there is.  We rode on it that fall some, but decided to wait until summer 2006 to open officially.  In winter 2006, I got a 963 Bobcat that has been just right to manage the jumps and all of the other dirt work.  I farm along with my Dad, and so we have all of the needed equipment to make it come together.  So, here we are!”

 

Folks “farm” around these parts, but they also race.  Today was the first time ever for buggies and trucks to race on a wheel-to-wheel basis.  There were three different classes of some 17 competitors.  Each class ran three races of identical length.

 

The promoter told me the dirt course was ½-mile in length.  It seemed longer than that to me, maybe nearly a mile in length.  There were a few minor jumps and several changes in elevation.  I could see most of the action, except one turn where there seemed to be a major accident every few laps or so.  This was a loosely based group.  They did not operate with racing radios and I don’t think the flagman had a red flag in his arsenal.

 

Overall, it was nice to get a first-ever track on Saturday afternoon.  It’s not very common for tracks to race in the daytime on a Saturday.

 

 

RACE REVIEW – WESTERN KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY, MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY – TRACK #1,235

I believe I was starting to get raced out by the time I reached the Western Kentucky Speedway.  I arrived at 7:48 p.m.  I was 18 minutes late.  Not to worry, the crowd was on its feet for the National Anthem.  I bought my ticket at the booth near the edge of the track’s property.  Then I went to park my car.  I loaded up my seat cushion, racing headset and race scanner, video camera and digital camera.  With my arms full of this paraphernalia, I began to enter the grandstand area.  At this point, I was asked for my ticket.  It was buried in the bottom of my surfer shorts.  I asked the guy how I could have gotten past the ticket booth and parked my car if I had not bought a ticket.  Talk about systems, this was a bad one.

 

Once I was safely ensconced in the nearly pitch-black grandstands, I sat down to watch the races.  They had lots of cars in lots of classes.  That’s as specific as I feel like writing about.  They had lots of heat races and lots of yellow flags.  As soon as any car spun the yellow was displayed.  They did not even wait for the offending driver to try to keep the show moving.

 

At intermission, I stood in line for a bologna sandwich.  I wasn’t hungry but this was for research purposes only.  I smothered my bologna in mustard and began my test.  It passed!  This was a very good bologna sandwich.

 

I stayed for the street stock and crate late model features.  They had plenty of yellow flag delays.  The track was too long for much passing and too slick for much green flag racing.  This was not my favorite track of the trip. 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

St. Louis – Friday-Monday (10-day rental)

 

The National Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix is beginning to show the effects of being out on the trackchasing road for nine days.  The boys and girls back at the shop are going to have to give this one a good cleaning.  I have driven the car and the other two cars I’ve rented on this trip about 3,000 miles in just nine days.
