The buggies were jumping everywhere like Mexican jumping beans. Oh I wished I was in that red SUV so I could be close to the action. 

Oops!  Maybe Carol was right.  That red SUV was too close to the action.  This racer came flipping over the hill into turn #5.  He must have rolled it more than five times.  You could see him heading for that SUV for a very long time.

How would you explain this to the insurance company? 

The trucks were wild as they raced over the hill.  How would you like to take this ride? 

 The worst crash of the day happened at this point on the track.  A truck lost control, did two full end over ends in mid-air and landed in a heap at the bottom of the hill.

This is one of the reasons this group can attract 14,000 people at $25 a head. These trucks are traveling at more than 70 M.P.H. at this point.

From time to time, they took a break to water and grade the track.  That's Mexico in the distance! 

Carol had a good time today.  These events are fun for both avid and casual race fans.

Whenever I can I try to take action racing shots.  However, it's also possible to take action PEOPLE shots.  This photo has so much action it's hard to describe.  Everybody seems to be checking out everybody else.  The guy is the black hat has in eye on a couple of things.  The guy in the mohawk has his eye of the guy in the black hat.  The girls might be doing some butt checks.  I'm checking out those "Love" jeans! 

When I got tired of watching the races, I watched the people.  Carol and I had a great day in Chula Vista, even though she couldn't keep an eye on me all the time! 

DAY 1 – ALMOST MADE IT TO MEXICO TRACKCHASING TOUR

GREETINGS FROM CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNA.

WE WOKE UP IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING AND WENT TO SLEEP IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

The Objective 

Today’s new track was my 140^th of the 2007 season.  This is the third time in the past four years I’ve hit or surpassed that number.  No other trackchaser in the history of the hobby has ever seen 140 new tracks in one season.  I can see this many events without too much effort by having life systems in place.

I believe that much of life is about systems.  If you have the right systems in place then life just becomes easier.  Of course, there are “acts of God” that can override anyone’s systems.  Anyone can get hit by the proverbial “bus” at anytime in their lives.  However, if you look both ways, you might have a better chance!

Seeing 140 new tracks this year (and visiting 33 states, 4 Canadian provinces and New Zealand) has been pretty easy.  You’ve read about the systems I’ve put in place during the past couple of years including portable GPS systems, cell phones, wireless internet from any location, etc.  Many of these “systems” like a cell phone are considered standard equipment nowadays.  However, technology is moving so fast, it’s easy to forget that trackchasers rarely used cell phones as recently as 3-4 years ago.

Some think these things cost too much money.  I believe you have to spend money to make money.  Here’s an example.  Although my portable GPS system was a gift, the model I have costs about $400.  I might be able to get that amount of money back with my travel schedule in as little time as one month!

With this GPS unit, I rarely get lost.  When gas costs more than 10 cents per mile, the savings there can really add up.  When I reach a racetrack and know they’re going to race, I consult my GPS for local hotels.  I will normally make 2-3 cell phone calls (my plan has free long distance) to check availability and rates.  I would estimate I save $15-20 per night every time I do this.  With all things being equal, I will stay in the less expensive hotel choice.

Here is what my track totals look like for the past four years:

2004 – 127

2005 – 182

2006 – 147

2007 – 140 and counting

My current future tracks database shows that I have 1,158 tracks remaining to be seen in North America.  There may be as many as 50-100 of those tracks that are not racing anymore and I don’t know about it.  Only 28% of those tracks race on a weekly basis during the 4-5 month racing season.

Based on the above realities, my track totals are going to be decreasing in the years to come.  I would expect to be able to pass the 100-track mark for another year or two.  After that, track counts will start to fall.

My fellow competitors are already beginning to fall back in many instances as they encounter their geographical driving circle limitations.  Those GDC limits come in the form of increased expense, more time needed for the hobby and lack of interest.  Expense is not an issue for me.  At this point, I still has as much time and interest in doing this as I ever have.  As I begin to plan for the 2008 season, I think it’s going to be very interesting.

The Trip

It is not often that I embark on a trackchasing trip and don’t go to an airport.  This is just my fifth driving trip of the season.  I have seen only six of my 140 new tracks during these driving trips.  On the other hand, I have made 30 round-trip airline trips.  Several of those trips had interim airline flights within the trip.

We live off of exit #74 of the Interstate 5 freeway in Southern California.  They start counting exit numbers from one at the Mexican border.  That means we are 74 miles north of the border and 100 yards East of the Pacific Ocean.  O.K. to be technically correct, the interstate numbering system does not “mean” we are 100 yards East of the Pacific Ocean, but we are.

The drive south from San Clemente is a most beautiful one.  We’re about a half-mile or a little more from the freeway.  Once we get on I-5 and head south, we leave Orange County and enter San Diego County in just one mile.  At that point, we view the Pacific Ocean on the right and the Marine Corps’ Camp Pendleton on the left.  Pendleton occupies the next 15-20 miles of land.  If they ever close that base that land will sell for a pretty penny.  I often look fondly but not lovingly at the Marines lined up for “chow” at the base as I drive by in the Carol Lewis owned and Life of Virginia sponsored Lexus LS 430.  I used to be in that chow line myself and looked longingly toward the freedom of the freeway.  I did my time and now I can drive freely down the freeway any time I want.  That’s the way it works in America.

As we drove further south, we encountered vineyards between our road and the ocean.  It wasn’t long before we were driving past downtown San Diego.  San Diego has the best climate of any major city in the U.S.  We were bound for Chula Vista.  Chula Vista has 217,000 people according to the city limit sign.  Their elevation is a whopping 75 feet.  Chula Vista is less than ten miles from Tijuana, Mexico.  The drive from San Clemente to Chula Vista is a lovely one with views of the Pacific Ocean much of the way.  The only way to beat the beauty of the drive is to ride the train.  The train tracks run between the interstate and the ocean most of the way.

The People

Once we reached the track, we parked and waited for a shuttle bus to take us to the racing venue itself.  The parking lot was about a mile along dusty and hilly terrain from the track.  We could have walked but we were in no hurry and the shuttle bus system was very efficient.

While waiting in line to board the bus, we struck up a conversation with two men standing behind us.  The elderly gentleman (remember, I’m 58) was telling us about tracks that used to exist in the greater San Diego area.  He told us he drove stock cars at the old Speedway 117 track.  I saw the World of Outlaws race there.  I recall Sammy Swindell flipping out of the track completely.  Our newfound friend today told us his car number was 101.  He said with a smile, “that way the announcer could read my number even if I flipped the car!”

This elderly gentleman was with a younger man in his early 40s of Hispanic descent.  I quizzed this man about racing opportunities in northern Baja, California, the Mexican state that borders the U.S.  This fellow told me they run some sort of Tijuana street race each year.  However, I have not been able to confirm this.  They were both nice people to talk with as we waited for our bus.

STATE RANKINGS

This is my 104th lifetime track to see in the Golden state.  The late legendary Gary Jacob leads in California with a grand total of 149 tracks.  It is most unlikely that I will ever catch up to Gary for the state lead.  By my count, I have only eight active tracks remaining to be seen here.  However, I know of at least nine new countable tracks that are planned to open in the Golden state during the next 1-2 years.  I may never catch up with Gary, but I should be able to add to my California total in the coming years.

This was my 116^th lifetime road course track to see.  Recall, in trackchasing all tracks fall into one of three categories, those being ovals, road courses and figure 8 tracks.  I trail Pennsylvania’s Guy Smith by just one track in this important category.  When I pass Mr. Smith in total road courses seen I will be the leading U.S. based road course trackchaser.  I still trail famous road racer Stirling Moss’ total of 136 road course tracks and Roland Vanden Eynde’s incredible total of 343 tracks in this category.

This road course was Carol’s 61^st lifetime California track.  She has a commanding 20-track lead over Allan Brown and trails Alan Skinrood’s fourth place total of 62 tracks (mistakenly reported as 60 tracks in my last Trackchaser Report).  California is the state where Carol has seen the most tracks.

RACE REVIEW

CHULA VISTA INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY – TRACK #1,278 (CAROL’S TRACK #344

Today’s event was sanctioned by Championship Off-Road Racing (C.O.R.R.).  These people are doing a great job with short closed course off-road racing.  It is one of the most entertaining forms of spectator motorsport that I have ever seen.  While many (most?) American short track ovals are failing, the C.O.R.R. events are thriving.  Today, they had an announced crowd of 14,000 people at admission prices beginning at $25 per person.

Back on Sunday, October 2, 2005, Carol and I saw a race at the Chula Vista International Off-Road Raceway.  You might ask, “But Randy, you can’t go back to the same track and count it again can you?  Won’t the trackchaser commissioner put the nix on that idea?”  Thank you for your concern but no he will not but the nix on this new track.

There might be some debate about whether or not the track we saw in 2005 was a permanent of temporary track.  I would contend it was a permanent track that wasn’t expected to be in that location very long.  The 2005 track was built on land used for racing only while the track was there.  They did not take the fencing and seating down so the land could be used for some other purpose.  You might want to take a look at the pictures (try not to look at the g-string photos) and the story I wrote about that track, my 965^th.  You can use this link to get there:

http://www1.ranlayracing.com/965chulavista.htm

C.O.R.R. raced at this location for two years (2005-2006).  The racetrack was surrounded by new housing construction.  I suspect houses are being built on that location as this is being read.

Today’s track is located a “few hills” over from the original track.  The new track’s name is the Chula Vista International Raceway.  The new CVIR is billed by C.O.R.R. as their new permanent location.  I believe that C.O.R.R. definition of “permanent” and the trackchasing definition of “permanent” are not the same.  The first track should meet the trackchasing definition of permanent, but because C.O.R.R. knew they would not be at that location for the long-term, they considered the first location less than permanent.  C.O.R.R. literature and the track announcer go into some detail describing today’s location as the new permanent Chula Vista International Raceway venue.

By the way, the announcer told us the C.O.R.R. is expanding next year “deep into NASCAR country”.  He told us to go to the C.O.R.R. website at www.corracing.com to find the 2008 track schedule.  I couldn’t find it, maybe you can.

Getting to this track and negotiating our way around proved to be an adventure.  I have some great photos of buggies and trucks flying through the air as well as some of the SoCal lassies that frequent event such as these.  You won’t want to miss them.  Use this link to get there:

http://www1.ranlayracing.com/1278chulavistaoffroa.htm

We parked our car in a dusty field after paying ten dollars for the privilege.  We then boarded a shuttle bus for a one-mile ride to the track.  This was afternoon racing.  We arrived at just past noon.  There was a long line of 20-25 people at each of about eight ticket windows.  Carol and I each chose a line and communicated via cell phone on each other’s progress.  There’s no need to waste any more time in line than is absolutely necessary!

I soon became friends with several young twenty somethings standing in front of me.  I was motivated to become their friend when I learned they had “two for one” coupons.  Soon my new buddies and I were discussing our strategy.  General admission was 25 dollars.  Premium seating, meaning the top ten rows was $40 per seat.

I ended up saving $10 on our purchase of two seats with my newfound “two for one” buddies.  I then lost five dollars of that ten dollar savings when I tried another ticket buying strategy that backfired due to my inattention to detail.  I cannot reveal how that happened as prying eyes might be reading this.  Suffice it to say, this lifestyle keeps an oldster’s brain cells like mine firing, although not always on all eight cylinders.

Twenty-five dollars might seem like a high price of admission for a short track racing event.  However, a general admission ticket also includes entrance to the pit area.  This puts the ticket price in about the same price category as many short track oval operations.

We quickly chose a grandstand seat with both the sun and the wind to our backs.  The temperatures were in the high 70s with nary a cloud in the sky.  The steady breeze made the climactic conditions most comfortable.

The best way for me to describe the course to you is to tell you to go to my website at www.ranlayracing.com and click on “Trackchaser Reports” and then click on “#1,278 Chula Vista International Raceway”.  I have 27 pictures of our day at the races.  I think you will like them, especially the last two.

A C.O.R.R. racing event is an entertaining activity.  The action on the track is second to none.  The track length might be about one mile.  From our vantage point we could see all but about 10 seconds of a racing lap.  The track had seven turns on a dirt surface that changed elevations several times.

There were about five locations where the racers went over jumps.  The most spectacular was a hill some 100 feet tall.  The buggies and trucks would come flying over the crest of this hill and fly some ten feet into the air.  They would then glide down, while still in the air, until they landed safely (usually) about halfway down the hill.

There were two major wrecks when first a buggy and then a truck did not hit their landing the right way.  One buggy kicked off the side of the hill, rolled 7-8 times and landed on a civilian’s SUV!  Another truck came over the hill at a high rate of speed, got crossed up, and did two end over end flips while still in the air!  Of course, he came to a rest at the bottom of the hill with nearly all of his body panels missing.  This might me a good time to offer a valuable Wal-Mart five dollar gift certificate to the first two readers who have read this far.  First two folks to email me at Ranlay@yahoo.com get these prizes.  Of course, my camera was safely tucked away in my camera case when all of this happened.

This type of event attracts a youngish crowd of people in their twenties and thirties.  At 58, Carol and I were nearly the oldest people in the crowd, although we feel like we’re about thirty-five.  I’m a little disappointed in my fellow late 50 year old fellow Americans.  Where is your adventuresome spirit?  It seems like everywhere that Carol and I go we’re about the only folks our age in attendance.  Come on people.  Don’t give up on life.  Get off the sofa.  Get out there and live life.  You can rest when you’re dead.

Anywhooooo…..(I hate that phrase), we had a lovely time at the races.  We finished up with an early evening supper at a most authentic Mexican restaurant, El Callejon, on Coast Highway in Encinitas, California.  I only wish we had more tracks to see in our home state of California.

CAROL’S COMMENTS

Today’s crowd was very family oriented.  There were several small children here as well as so many young people (20-30s).  It was great to be able to drive to a new track.  We saw two of the worst accidents that I’ve ever seen in my days of trackchasing.

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS

Next week is the big UCLA game at the Rose Bowl against Notre Dame.  The only thing that diminishes the potential brilliance of this game is that Notre Dame comes into the contest with an 0-5 record.  UCLA is a 20-point favorite.  All of a sudden a victory by us might not mean as much.  We are now in a position of having everything to lose and not much to gain.  I never like being in a position like that.

You might think that with an all-day commitment to tailgating and a 5 p.m. kickoff on Saturday that my trackchasing capabilities for the weekend might be shot.  Of course, that’s what my Eastern based fellow competitors would like you to think.  Oh contraire.  If I have anything to say about it, I will not be shut out this weekend.  Time will tell.
