GREETINGS FROM COOPERSVILLE, MICHIGAN AND THEN ROTHBURY, MICHIGAN.

 

 

 

 

MARK AND I WOKE UP IN COUDERSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA AND WENT TO SLEEP IN LANSING, MICHIGAN.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

 

 

The Objective 

 

My trackchasing objective is to see as many tracks as I can.  Once I meet that objective, I would like to see racing that entertains.  I am pleased to announce that I met the first objective today, but missed on the second. 

 

However, I did see a “worst ever” track.  There are four tracks that are tied for worst ever including 1) Glad Rag Speedway (dirt), Saratoga Springs, New York, 2) CORA Speedway, Dixon, California, 3) 93 Speedway, Oak Hill, Ohio and now added to this list of shame the Coopersville Festival Grounds, Coopersville, Michigan.  You can read why I felt that way in the Race Review below.

 

The Trip

 

There would be no time for golf today.  Mark and I embarked upon a 566-mile one-way drive from our motel in Coudersport, Pennsylvania to Coopersville.  Most of this week’s trackchasing was scheduled for Michigan.  However, when I could not find a new track to visit in the Wolverine state on Thursday, August 9, I had no choice but to drive more than 1,000 miles round-trip to see a county fair figure 8 race in Eastern Pennsylvania.

 

There was a little more to it than that, but not much.  When I am on the road for a trackchasing trip, especially when I’m not with Carol, I was to see new tracks.  It is very rare that you will find me on the road for a day with no new track scheduled.  It just seems like a waste of time to be out here without having a new track each day. 

 

Of course, there are circumstances such as family visits, special non-racing sporting events, etc where I deviate from that plan but not much else.  Had the weather in Pennsylvania been better, we would have stayed an extra day to watch Andy Ritter race.  The weather was moving out of the path of the Redline Raceway, where Andy races, but there were no guarantees.  As luck would have it, Redline did race and Mr. Ritter garnered a 9^th place feature finish.

 

Nevertheless, I was pleased with my logistical decision to head back to Michigan.  I will get to watch Andy race again in the future and I suspect it will be on a sunny day.

 

The only thing I hate more, while on the road, than not having a new track scheduled is a rainout.  You have read about some of the extra steps that I take to avoid trackchasing washouts.  To date, I have had 81 successful trackchasing days and just 3 rainouts in 2007.

 

During the past 2 ½ seasons I have had 317 trackchasing days and just 12 days of trackchasing rainouts.  There is no other U.S. based trackchaser with a better record than that.

 

 

 

Trackchasing Tourist Attraction

 

CUTCO VISITOR’S CENTER, OLEAN, NEW YORK

 

We made a brief stop at the Cutco knives Visitor’s Center in Olean, New York today.  Cutco makes the finest knives money can buy.  They offer a lifetime sharpening guarantee.

 

Our son Jim sold Cutco knives for a summer job a few years back.  That means Carol and I own Cutco knives!  Jim knows more about Cutco than anyone living in Hawaii!

 

 

 

The People

 

People can be funny.

 

 

STATE RANKINGS

Tonight I saw my 61^st and 62^nd lifetime tracks in the Wolverine state.  I am in 8^th place in the Michigan state rankings here.  I trail Rick Schneider’s 64 tracks for seventh place.  Allan Brown leads in Michigan with 154 tracks.

RACE REVIEW – COOPERSVILLE FESTIVAL GROUNDS (ROAD COURSE) – TRACK #1,250

Oh my!  Where can I start?  The Coopersville Festival Grounds is now a special track in my storied trackchasing career.  It occupies a special spot with just three other tracks as my “worst ever”.

 

I’ll try to list my experience in chronological order.  That way I won’t forget to tell you about each and every disappointment and blunder.  Following a 566-mile one-way drive from Eastern Pennsylvania to the track, we encountered a huge traffic jam less than one mile from the track.  Mark was driving and we were stopped in traffic.  While we waited for the festival motorcade to pass in a perpendicular direction, I pressed the horn.  Of course, Mark was dismayed by this behavior, but I felt the traffic cop was not being fair in his decisions about which lane of traffic were allowed to move.

 

When we did finally find a place to park in a neighbor’s yard near the track, we stood in line to buy our tickets.  Just as I was about ready to trade a ten-dollar bill for a admission wristband, a spectator came running up in our direction yelling, “Who do I talk too?  I paid $64 for my family to get into this track and we can’t see a thing.  I want my money back”.  Talk about getting a sign!  However, I had not driven nearly 600 miles to be deterred by some rookie race fan that was not creative enough to find a good seat.  I paid my admission and entered the Coopersville Festival Grounds.

 

This was a first ever countable trackchasing event in Coopersville.  I suspected other trackchasers would be in attendance.  That guess was correct.  I encountered top seven trackchasers, Allan Brown (3), Rick Schneider (4) and Ed Esser (7).   I must admit the social skills of some of my fellow trackchasers are lacking at times.  Sometimes I think they were mistreated as youngsters. 

 

I looked out at the “track”.  Have you ever seen the work of a gopher in your neighbor’s yard?  You know that fresh black dirt that is left above ground level at a height of 2-4 inches.  Tonight’s track looked like a GIANT gopher had been at work.  However, the dirt debris was not 2-4 inches high; they were 4-6 FEET tall.  Most American cars are about five feet tall.  Now, let’s do the math.  The dirt swells were 4-6 feet tall and the cars were five feet tall.  Couple this engineering phenomenon with the fact that nearly all of the spectators were standing at ground level (there were hardly any grandstands and the grandstands that were there were only three rows high) and it was nearly impossible to see the cars!

 

I can best describe the track’s configuration as being similar to an MRI of your lower intestine.  I guess the ultimate end point of the lower intestine (use your imagination) would be where we were all standing to watch the “races”.

 

I use the term “races” with much trepidation.  The track was about two lanes wide surrounded by these huge piles of dirt.  The track surface can best be described as having the consistency of fresh potting soil.  As soon as a driver drove off the narrow course, he/she found himself stuck in one of the ever present dirt berms.  The spinning front-wheel tires would throw up a rooster tail of fine soil just as you would see at a boat racing event.

 

Of course, when one driver got stuck, the next would plow into him, and in just a moment or two, the entire track was blocked.  The races weren’t long, just four laps in many cases.  However, nearly every race had MULTIPLE red flags so the heavy equipment operator could go out on dislodge to stuck cars.  You might imagine this interrupted the flow of the “action” a great deal.

 

It was at this point that I noticed my brother Mark beginning to behave erratically.  We had arrived at just past 7 p.m. and had been at the track for just a bit more than an hour.  Mark has been divorced for many years.  Wherever we go, Mark is fond of checking out the “local talent” (wink) if you know what I mean.  Sometimes I have to remind him that we are here to watch the racing!

 

However, after an hour of constant stoppages, Mark had exhausted his visual opportunities.  He was beginning to get antsy.  He wanted to go.  Heck, I wanted to go.  However, I felt that since we had driven such a long distance, we should stay for a representative amount of the program.

 

The P.A. system was a treat.  First, it worked then it didn’t.  Then they switched from a boy to a girl announcer and back to the boy.  Then the P.A. system went out completely.  When it came back on, it had the decibel volume that could be heard over the roar of a landing Boeing 747. 

 

We had been here since 7 p.m.  It was now approaching 9 p.m. and beginning to get dark.  That’s when I noticed they had only one set of four lights on one pole powered by a portable generator.  Hurray!  They couldn’t run much longer with so little lighting or could they?  Just with the small-car front wheel drive cars we had watched eight heat races as well as the “C” main and the “B” main.

 

At this point in the story you need to know that Mark is a big man.  He tells me he weights 250 pounds.  He is every bit of that.  Normally, Mark is a gentle soul.  However, after watching so many delays where the longest stretch of uninterrupted green flag racing was less than 60 seconds, even the most gentle giant could lose it.

 

I began to fear for my personal safety.  Mark wanted to leave.  The rear-wheeled drive class was just taking to the track for their “A” feature.  The generator powering the lights was illuminating about 10% of the track.  It did not matter that there were no lights on the track as it began to turn from daylight to darkness.  With those six-foot high dirt berms, you couldn’t see the cars racing anyway.

 

In the background the rock band was warming up for the post-race concert.  The green flag flew for the start of the four-lap “A” feature event.  That’s right, four laps.  No one in the crowd complained.  They would have preferred a two-lapper.

 

The cars immediately became jammed in turn one.  The loader came out to pull the cars apart.  The race restarted.  In less than 10 seconds, the cars became jammed up in the loose soil again.

 

By this time, I was literally fighting for my life.  Mark had me in a head lock and was dragging me toward the exit.  I wanted to see the last two laps of this dramatic “A” feature event, but I was being removed from the track against my will.  Mark would not let go and I was forced to leave with those two “A” main laps remaining.  I suspect they did complete this race in the next 30-40 minutes.

 

Once outside the entrance to the Coopersville Festival Grounds, Mark’s friendly demeanor returned.  The werewolf whiskers began to recede into his face and he became the “Old Mark” that we all know and love.  What a transformation.  It was not 9:30 p.m. and we finally found our car in the dark.

 

Then…………….one of the most unusual things happened to us.  This is something that could never have happened to any other trackchaser in the trackchasing hobby.  You can find out exactly what DID happen by reading the “Winston Motor Speedway” race review below.

 

RACE REVIEW – WINSTON MOTOR SPEEDWAY – TRACK #1,251

When we headed over to Coopersville, Michigan this morning, I really didn’t have any idea how far West in Michigan we were going to have to drive.  Coopersville is just a few miles from Lake Michigan.  It’s far west location would turn out to be a Godsend.

 

Once in the parking lot, the oxygen to my brain began to come back after Mark released his headlock.  It was 9:30 p.m. now on a Friday night.  Michigan has several permanent oval tracks that race on Fridays.  As a matter of fact, I had asked Ed Esser earlier if he knew where the “Rothbury” track was.  He looked at me as if I were speaking French and shrugged his shoulders.  I took his response to mean, “Yes, I know where the track is, but since you are a fellow trackchasing competitor, I’ll be damned if I’m going to tell you anything about it”.  Of course, this is my personal translation of the events as they actually did occur.

 

It is at this point that the portable technology contained in the RANLAY Racing rented Avis Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix came into play.  No other trackchaser has these capabilities, nor should they.

 

My Garmin GPS unit (Dusty) told me that “Rothbury” was just 36 miles from where we were in Coopersville.  This meant we could reach the Winston Motor Speedway by 10:15 p.m. if we didn’t get lost.  I had no idea what time their racing program had begun or what time it might end.  It was worth a shot.

 

The GPS told Mark, who was driving, to head West on Interstate 96.  Of course, the entrance to the freeway was closed due to summer construction.  Recall there are four seasons in the Midwest.  These would be 1) almost winter, 2) winter, 3) still winter and 4) road construction!

 

We needed to phone the track to see if they were racing and what time they expected their program to end.  We had 200 miles to drive by 11 a.m. tomorrow morning to reach the golf course for our last round of the trip.  A trip up to Rothbury would add 80-90 miles to that total.  I didn’t want to drive up to the track to find out they weren’t racing at all or that the program was over.

 

First, I tried the phone number listed in the National Speedway Directory.  This yielded only an answering machine.  Next, I tried the number listed in Dusty (GPS).  This also gave me only an answering machine but a different one than what I got from the NSD.

 

Next, I went into super sleuth mode in a manner that no other trackchaser can do.  No, I do not have an unfair advantage, just an advantage.  I powered up my laptop and WENT ON LINE from the convenience of my Avis Rental Car Racing Pontiac Grand Prix as we were driving.  Yes, on line with my Dell Inspiron 600 in the middle of nowhere in Michigan!

 

I was soon surfing the net and searching for usable information on the Winston Motor Speedway website (http://eteamz.active.com/winstonmotorspeedway/index.cfm?).  The website is one of those “not operated by Winston Motor Speedway, but designed and built by a fan of the track”.  Soon I found a track contact phone number.  The number was different from the first two I tried.  Still, no luck I got a THIRD answering machine.

 

However, the website did tell me the racing program began at 7:30 p.m.  They also provided some excellent directions.  Off we went!

 

We arrived at the track at 10:15 p.m.  They were still racing.  We were going to turn a night where I had seen one of the worst four tracks in my entire trackchasing career into a “traditional” trackchasing double.  Wow!

 

I don’t know if it was because I felt abused by the Coopersville experience or because the Winston Motor Speedway was that good, but the racing at WMS easily ranks in my top five for the 2007 season.

 

When we arrived the track was no longer charging admission.  The scoreboard told us there were 15 laps remaining in the modified feature.  They were just cleaning up a wreck and we grabbed a great viewing spot at the top row.

 

The mods (17) finished up their feature running all over the track both high and low.  The lighting was good, there was no dust and when a caution did fall, they cleaned up the track quickly and had no delays with the restart line-up.

 

This race was followed by a 25-lap, 20 car or so late model feature.  The next race was the feature for the sportsman.  It ran 20 laps with 15-20 cars.  These races were outstanding.  Without the technology that I have so heavily invested in, this track might never have been possible.

 

Even though there were still 1-2 features to run, it was time to leave.  At 11 p.m. we still had 250 miles to drive before our 11 a.m. tee time at a course near the Detroit Airport.

 

I got behind the wheel.  I looked over at Mark.  He was beaming.  He had gotten a “double”.  If you could have seen his transformation from the Coopersville debacle to the Winston Motor Speedway success, you wouldn’t have believed it.
