GREETINGS FROM MOBERLY, MISSOURI.

 

 

 

 

I WOKE UP IN CAMDEN, TENNESSEE AND WENT TO SLEEP IN KEOKUK, IOWA.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

 

 

 

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

 

 

The Objective 

 

In life as in trackchasing, it’s important to know the rules and play by the rules.  If you don’t, how can you honestly compare your results with those of others?  Of course, if you are not at all interested in comparing your results to others, then you’re just playing a practice round and there’s nothing wrong with that.  Just be sure not to compare yourself to others if you have not played by the rules.

 

Editor’s note:  The biggest news in trackchasing of late are allegations of cheating.  I’ll have more to say about that in a future report.

 

This is the trackchaser rule that motivated me to visit the 24 Raceway today.

 

“Tracks that change between a paved surface and a dirt surface can be counted once for each surface. Changes between different types of pavement (asphalt, concrete, etc.) or different types of dirt (dirt, clay, shale, grass, gravel, etc.) surfaces only count once.”

 

I first came to this facility back on June 2, 2002 as a stand alone event when the track had an asphalt racing surface.  The track was called the Mizzou Speedway then.  I think it was the very next year they changed the racing surface from asphalt to dirt.  Actually, I think the track may have begun its life as a dirt track.

 

In the Midwest and in most places, dirt tracks are more popular than asphalt tracks.  Dirt tracks require much more care and maintenance than asphalt tracks.  Asphalts surfaces are more expensive initially to construct but save money in the long run for the promoter.  I prefer dirt tracks to asphalt.  I think the racing is much better, especially on the ½-mile ovals and smaller.

 

I must say that before I joined trackchasing, I never would have thought to count a track twice just because the surface changed.  Actually, the appeal, other than getting to add another track to my totals, isn’t there for me with a “change of surface” track.  I get a thrill out of pulling into the parking lot for the very first time at a racing venue.  Obviously, that thrill isn’t there when I return for a change of surface new track visit.

 

I’m not complaining, just explaining.  I’m in trackchasing to get as many tracks as I can within the existing rules of trackchasing.  In order to be competitive, I must visit tracks that meet the rules of trackchasing whether I would go to the track on my own or not.

 

 

The Trip

 

I woke up in Camden, Tennessee at about 10 a.m.  I had been doing trackchaser research (proprietary) until past 2 a.m. the night before.  The weather forecast for today was calling for rain.  I looked out the window and found it to be pouring.

 

Of all the people you know, I might get to see rain as little as anyone.  I live in San Clemente, California.  We average about 10 inches of rain per year.  During this past year, we got about four inches of rain.  When I travel, I obviously try to go places where it’s not raining!

 

Today was my 95^th successful day of trackchasing in 2007.  I have had three rainouts.  95-3!  I’ll take that record even if I don’t get to see much rain.

 

I had come to Tennessee for just one trackchasing strategic reason.  I was trying to get National Geographic Diversity (NGD) points.  I needed one more track today to move from 12^th place in the Volunteer state to ninth place.  That would give me six position points, one of the most valuable NGD point gains still available to me.

 

Editor’s note:  Upon returning from Tennessee, I noticed the racing Eckels from Pennsylvania had gone trackchasing in the Volunteer state.  They added one track to their totals.  Now, I was two Tennessee tracks short of cracking the top 10.

 

I have ten states where I rank worse than 10^th in the trackchaser rankings.  Tennessee is one of those states.  With the weather being bad, I couldn’t stay.  However, I will be back and I suspect I will be back in 2007.

 

Today was Saturday.  I had planned to be in Wisconsin for a race on Sunday afternoon.  I now had to come up with a new Saturday night track somewhere between where I was (Tennessee) and where I wanted to be tomorrow (Wisconsin).

 

I had to overlay the existing weather forecast onto my remaining tracks map.  The challenge would be to find a track that was in a good weather location and that I could drive to today and still make it up to central Wisconsin tomorrow.  This is the challenge I love.  I could do this every day.  If I wasn’t married, I probably would just like all of the trackchasers who have come before me.

 

This is about as far as I can go with this discussion.  The information sources, algorithms, and databases I use are all proprietary.  I have spent years developing the systems that have made me the World’s #1 Ranked Trackchaser.  It wouldn’t make much sense to share that at this stage with my fellow competitors.

 

I know this hurts some of their feelings.  However, I also know that in the long run my fellow competitors will be the stronger for it.  I learned this as a father.  When my children were small, we were always playing competitive games.  They wanted to win.  I couldn’t just let them win.  They had to win on their own.

 

As they grew older, they would know if I was letting them win and the fun and sense of achievement would be lost for them and for me if I let them win.  It wasn’t that long before they could win on their own.  When they did, they were happy and I was happy.  They had achieved their success on their own.  As a matter of fact, son Jim just defeated me in “Horse” the basketball shooting game a few months ago.  Prior to that I had been undefeated against all comers in my home gym, the RANLAY Events Center.  Jim was happy and I was happy.

 

 

 

The People

 

Today was September 8, 2007.  The most hallowed dirt late model race of the year is running at the Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio.  It’s called the “World 100”.  The best late model drivers in the world race in this race.  When I was a “racechaser” I went to this race 10-15 times.  I mostly went with my good friends, Jim Sabo and Ed Montgomery.

 

Jim called me and asked if I wanted to go this year.  Our last visit to the “World” was in 2004.  I’ve seen racing at Eldora during 18 separate years.  That means I may have seen the World 100 eighteen times.

 

I declined Jim’s offer because of a commitment to Carol to attend the UCLA-BYU football game at the Rose Bowl.  Then Jim came up with a conflict of his own.  Then, Carol released me from my contractual obligation (son J.J. joined her for the BYU game) when I agreed to substitute a road game (at Utah, September 15) for the BYU game I would be missing.

 

Editor’s note:  Within the next week or so, you will learn why it made sense to trade a Rose Bowl home game for a trip to Utah.

 

Therefore I was sitting in the stands of the 24 Raceway watching a rather tame racing program instead of watching the best in the world at the World 100.  I often run into racechasers who think we trackchasers are crazy for missing the best racing just because we want to see a new track.  They might be right.

 

The late Gary Jacobs would only shake his head when he learned of the type of tracks I was visiting.  At the top level of trackchasing, there isn’t much good racing left.  Think about it.  If you had already seen more than 1,000 tracks out of maybe 2,000 that were available to see, don’t you think you might have gone to the 1,000 best ones first!

 

I think it is preposterous for the top trackchasers to say they are in the trackchasing hobby for the racing.  Oh, my!  If you don’t believe me, take a look at the 2007 track lists at www.trackchaser.net for the top 10 trackchasers.  You will see some of the worst “racing” venues that exist within the 2,000 or so tracks that are available to see in North America.

 

Now some will throw back their heads and cackle, “Randy, you must have a terrible hobby if you must force yourself to go to tracks where the racing is so terrible”.  This cackler would have missed the point by 100%. 

 

I enjoy the challenge of going somewhere I have never been.  I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to get from point A to point B to point C, etc.  I enjoy the challenge of creating systems that allow me to create some trackchasing trips that have never been done before.  When the dust has settled, I enjoy comparing my results to others.  It’s just not about the racing any more, because the racing isn’t very good at many of the tracks I now visit.

 

However, while all of this fun is being had, I missed going to the World 100 with my friends.  I’ll have to work on fixing that.

 

 

 

STATE RANKINGS

This was my 37^th lifetime track to see in the “Show Me” state.  I entered the evening tied for fourth place with Andy Sivi.  Now Andy has been pushed back to fifth, while I trail Max Allender’s third place total by just one track.  Ed Esser leads in the state with a solid 52 tracks.

 

It’s hard to believe that I have been on the road for ten straight days and have not gained a single solitary NGD state position.  I’m positioning myself to gain them in the future, but so far I’ve got a big goose egg to show for this trip.

 

24 RACEWAY, MOBERLY, MISSOURI, – TRACKS #1,271

What’s up with the bugs in Missouri?  This is the buggiest state I visit by a magnitude of ten!  Shouldn’t the bugs be gone by nearly mid-September.

 

When I last visited this facility in 2002, it was a blazing hot Sunday afternoon.  If you want to get a real kick, check out my Trackchaser Report from back then.  It’s located at the very bottom of this TR.  I was talking about “dial up” connections, “lumpers”, Conway Twitty, and drive-in movies.  I even referred to the idea of blended doubles in its embryonic stage.

 

Back then the “Mizzou” Speedway was my 569^th lifetime track (that was only five years ago!).  I had decided to visit that track for the very same reason I came back today.  The weather forecast for my planned trackchasing day/night double in 2002 was terrible.  The bad weather elsewhere made me return to this track tonight just as it did five years ago.  This just goes to show you that some things never change, although some do. 

 

Proving that 2002, was a much simpler time I was sharing my future track dates for all to see.  It wasn’t long after that when I discovered my fellow trackchasing competitors were not sharing their future dates.  I needed to make a change.  Hope you enjoy this report, but I must admit I had to clean up the format and use spell check (which I must not have been using back then!) so the things didn’t look too retro.

 

Tonight’s program started on time.  Admission was a rather hefty fifteen dollars.  The grandstand here is huge.  It’s twenty rows high and made of wood.  The thing must seat more than 5,000 people.  The P.A. was bad and the announcer wasn’t much better.  I saved the paper a trackchaser press release is written on because the P.A. was so bad.

 

On the other hand, the “pit reporter” P.A. was excellent.  At intermission, this reporter took over and talked for more than ten minutes about all of the inside information happening in and around the track.  He told us which cars were out for the night and why.  He updated us on the conditions of drivers injured in a major hornet wreck from last week.  I’ve never seen a track do this to this extent.  His reporting was the highlight of the evening.

 

There were five classes of cars racing tonight.  These included hobby stocks (9), hornets (15), “A” modifieds (14), sportsman (9) and “B” modifieds with about fifteen.  I was pleased to see that all heat races were finished by 8 p.m.  At this point, the track went to a 20-minute intermission.

 

The bugs were bad.  It was still warm at about 75 degrees.  I stayed for the features for the hobby stocks, hornets and “A” modifieds.  The racing wasn’t bad although this is a large track with wide sweeping turns and lots of banking.  The cars tended to get spread out.

 

I left the track at just past 9 p.m.  I made a half-hearted attempt at finding another track to visit tonight.  However, my previous research told me there really wasn’t anything close.  The tracks to the south were probably rained out and would just make my drive to Wisconsin tomorrow more difficult. 

 

I headed out into the warm and humid night driving East and then North on two-lane highways.  I don’t like to drive on these small roads and I really don’t like to drive on them on Saturday nights.  There’s just too much risk of being run into by a ner’do’well who doesn’t have the “sense he was born with” to quote my mother.

 

 

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Chicago – Tuesday - Monday (6-day rental)

 

I really like my National Rental Car Racing Chevy Impala SS.  This may be one of the very best cars in this class I have ever driven.  However, I suspect the growling V-8 engine may not be giving me very good mileage.

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS

 

Just one more track on this nine trackchasing days (12 days - counting travel and non-trackchasing days), eleven-track trip.  It looks like I will see eleven tracks without a rainout, even though at least five of these tracks could have very easily been washed out.
