AND THE READERS RESPOND

 

 

From time to time interested readers write me about one thing or another.  Many times, I feel that my other readers would be interested, informed and/or amused by the comments I get.  Here’s a note from a southeastern reader who recently visited the biggest late model stock car race of the year, the World 100 at Eldora Speedway, a track now owned by NASCAR’s Tony Stewart.

 

Randy:  I've been reading your interesting emails and noticed you mentioned Eldora and the World 100.  It's a shame you couldn't have taken off the Trackmasters hat and put on your "Dirt Late Model Fan" hat and gone to the race…….Eldora continues to improve.  There's room for about three motor homes on the first turn and there's three new grandstands in its place.  There is a two-story VIP suite on the first turn also.

GREETINGS FROM WESTBY, WISCONSIN.

 

 

 

 

I WOKE UP IN KEOKUK, IOWA AND WENT TO SLEEP IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

 

 

 

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

 

 

The Objective 

 

I was listening to a radio program describing the benefits of big business to the consumer.  Wal-Mart was used as the example.  Because Wal-Mart has been able to be so efficient over the years, they can keep their costs down.  With lower costs, they can offer lower prices.  With lower prices, they attract more customers.  Yes, my fellow P&Gers, I’m talking about the “productivity loop”.

 

I first began calling on Wal-Mart in the early 80s in Bentonville, Arkansas.  Back then, they had about 130 stores and were considered the “little guy”.  Everybody loved them.  That’s because everybody likes the underdog.

 

It wasn’t long before they began to get big.  They got big because consumers loved to shop there.  Wal-Mart could put the goods on the shelf at lower prices than anybody else could.

 

The American public and maybe the world public usually doesn’t like the “big guy” which is why most stories you read today about Wal-Mart are less than positive.  I guess that’s just human nature.

 

I operate my trackchasing hobby the same way Wal-Mart operates their business.  I try to be more efficient and cost-effective than my fellow trackchasing competitors.  Wal-Mart judges their success by their bottom-line.  I just my trackchasing success in these four primary categories.

 

Lifetime trackchaser rankings

Annual trackchaser rankings

Lifetime National Geographic Diversity results

Western 13 states lifetime rankings

 

As it turns out these focus areas sometimes run in conflict with each other.  The best places to gain the most tracks in the lifetime rankings are probably the worst places to get NGD points.  Since I’m already ranked near the top of the Western 13 states rankings, visiting those locations can’t help much with NGD points or lifetime rankings.

 

None of this is really a problem, it just requires some balancing.  I’ve got until 2009 to reach the number one position in the thirteen Western states (X California).  The lifetime and annual rankings are going well.  The lifetime NGD leadership position is proving to be a challenge, but will certainly be doable in the long run and probably this year. 

 

Of course, all of this has to be done in a logistically efficient and cost effective manner.  I’m using the “Wal-Mart” approach.  It worked for them and I expect it to work for me.

The Trip

 

This 11-day, 11-track trip wraps us my last major mid-week trackchasing adventure of 2007.  I actually like the long trips like this one.  Taking one 11-day trip means a lot less airport/rental car hassle than 3-4 shorter trips.

 

Last year I traveled 208,314 miles in pursuit of my hobby.  I don’t think I’ll match that total this year, although I did go over the 130,000 miles traveled mark with this trip.  I have five methods of travel that I typically use to get from point A to point B.  Here’s how those numbers break out so far in miles:

 

Airplane – 95,242

Rental Car – 35,456

My car – 1,081

Friend’s car – 92

Ferry boats – less than 50

 

 

 

The People

 

I think as time goes by some folks including me remember their heroes as being bigger than life.  My trip today from this morning’s motel in Keokuk, Iowa to Wisconsin helped remind me of those heroes.

 

Keokuk is a famous town for spawning great local and national racecar drivers.  Ramo Stott was the most famous Keokuk driver I ever saw.  Although he never raced that much in NASCAR, he did win the pole position for the Daytona 500.  For a while, my nickname was actually “Ramo” amongst some of my college friends.  One of my most memorable races ever was seeing Ramo Stott battle Dick Trickle (how are those two names for a Hollywood movie!) in the late 60s during the Rockford Nationals, which used to be one of the best racing weekends ever.

 

Keokuk also produced Lem Blankenship, Dick Hutcherson and Ernie Derr.  Ernie Derr might have been the biggest name ever to come out of Keokuk.  I never saw him race, although he was still racing when I started to travel some.  I was reminded of Ernie Deer when I came across a sign for the “Derr Motor Company” while leaving Keokuk this morning.

 

My trip down racing’s memory lane did not end at this small town near the Iowa and Missouri state lines.  “Dusty” told me I would be driving through Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  I knew this route would take me within a few miles of my all-time favorite driver’s home, the home of Darrell Dake. 

 

As loyal Trackchaser Report readers know, Darrell passed away last month.  I couldn’t resist taking a drive by his place and his famous garage.  Darrell retired from racing 15 years ago at age 65.  I don’t think anyone driving past his garage on Mt. Vernon Road could guess what went on there.  It’s simply a plain, somewhat rundown building now.  Nevertheless, if you care to see it, you can at www.ranlayracing.com.  Just go to the “Trackchaser Reports” tab and click on “#1,272” for the Westby Nordic Raceway Report.  Although today’s racing wasn’t much, my ride through my racing memory made this one of my best days of the season.

 

 

 

STATE RANKINGS

Finally!  I was gone from San Clemente for all or part of 12 days.  I went trackchasing for nine of those days and ended up with 11 new tracks.  Nevertheless, today was the first day I gained any National Geographic Diversity (NGD) points.  How many points did I gain?  One!  That’s right just one point.

 

Today I moved into a 5^th place tie in Wisconsin with Dick Danielski at 50 Wisconsin lifetime tracks.  I’ve never met Dick but anyone whose name ends in “ski” has got to be a good guy.  Wisconsin has a good number of trackchasers and is one of the best racing states in the country.  I am pleased to be the highest-ranking non-Wisconsin trackchaser in the Badger state.  Ed Esser leads here, as you might expect, with 99 tracks.

 

RACE REVIEW

WESTBY NORDIC RACEWAY, WESTBY, WISCONSIN,  – TRACKS #1,272

The Westby Nordic Raceway is located right behind the Nordic Lanes bowling center (I grew up calling a place like this a “bowling alley”).  The track is a simple 1/8-mile banked asphalt oval.

 

Fall is in the air.  The temperature was in the low 60s and you could tell that cooler temps are just around the corner.  The racers at this track pit in the bowling alley’s parking lot!  There was just one trackchasing countable class racing today.  This class was the caged F200s.  They appear to be identical to what some think of as “Senior Champ Karts”.  There were just five of them.

 

The F200s were racing with several go-kart classes.  In all there were probably 25 racing machines in total.  Each class raced two heat races and a feature.  I stayed for the two heat races of the F200s.  It didn’t seem worthwhile from an entertainment point of view, the watch the same five cars compete in a third race, so I departed when the track went to intermission.

 

The track has lights but didn’t use them while I was there today.  The track’s announcer was a middle-aged woman who also conducted the driver’s meeting.  This was the last regularly scheduled race of the year, although they are considering an October special event.

 

Restrooms and concessions are provided by the Nordic Lanes.  The eight-lane bowling alley is within yards of the track.  I was pleasantly surprised, no make that shocked that the bowling alley has a full restaurant menu.  These offerings are served in a “bar like” atmosphere that reminded me of some of the places I’ve have visited in my ice racing days.

 

I ordered a Budweiser and cheese and sausage pizza that was way above average.  I ate my supper in my car that was parked in both the Nordic Lanes parking lot and the Westby Nordic Raceway pit area.  From there it was a short 253-mile drive down to my Chicago motel.  This was a great 11-day trip and I could have continued for more days, but there were no more tracks to see!

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Chicago – Tuesday - Monday (6-day rental)

 

I really enjoyed my National Rental Car Racing Chevy Impala SS.  The car’s V-8 engine had a “growl” to it.  I was surprised at the mileage the car gave me.

 

I drove the Impala 1,867 miles in just six days.  I paid an average price of just $2.90 per gallon.  The Chevy gave me 29.5 M.P.G. in fuel mileage at a cost of 9.9 cents per mile.  The car cost 13.2 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS

 

By the time you read this I will be traveling with Trackchasing’s First Mother to UCLA’s football game in Salt Lake City against the University of Utah.  Carol and I love UCLA football and have been going to the games since before all three of our children graduated from there.  You might imagine that the UCLA football games, all played on Saturday, conflict with my trackchasing opportunities………………or do they?
