DAY 3 – LAST TRIP OF THE YEAR TRACKCHASING TOUR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAIN OUT!  RAIN OUT!  RAIN OUT!

 

 

My final trackchasing trip of the year was supposed to include three new tracks in three days.  However, when I was traveling to Ft. Wayne, Indiana for the first day of the trip (Friday), I gave a call to the Swainsboro Speedway in Swainsboro, Georgia.  Swainsboro was supposed to be my Saturday night destination.

 

The promoter told me he had cancelled the program on Thursday, two days before the race was scheduled to run.  He told me they had simply had too much rain and the forecast did not look good.  The promoter seemed like a sincere fellow.  I told him I would catch his track sometime next year.

 

The observant Trackchaser Report reader might ask, “But Randy, how can you count this track as a rainout when you didn’t even get close to the track?  My mapping software tells me you were more than 800 miles from Swainsboro.  You knew far enough in advance that the track was rained out and you made no attempt whatsoever to go to the track in Swainsboro.  I don’t think you should count this track as a rainout.”

 

Of course, this type of question raises some interesting trackchasing philosophical queries about what should be counted as a rainout and what should not.  My rainout policy is known to be the strictest of any trackchaser going.  In a nutshell, here is my policy on what qualifies as a rainout.

 

If I leave San Clemente with a firm plan in place to go trackchasing for a certain number of days, let’s say the plan calls for three days of trackchasing, then I must see a new track on each of those days.  If one of the planned days does not yield a new track because of inclement weather, then I have experienced a “rainout”.  I do not have to see the original track(s) that was part of the initial firm plan.  As long as I see any new track for each of the days of my firm plan then I have not been rained out.

 

This week’s plan called for three days of trackchasing.  I did not get a new track on Saturday, December 29, 2007.  That date was part of the firm plan.  Had I been able to find a replacement track for the rained out Swainsboro Speedway, I would have avoided the rainout.

 

Swainsboro was only my fourth rainout of the 2007 season.  I have had 119 successful trackchasing days.  I can’t complain about those results.  I had three very good reasons to consider today’s rainout a lucky break for me.  However, I don’t want to confuse anyone.  I would have preferred that the Swainsboro Speedway had run their race.  These are the reasons, it might have been better than I was rained out on Saturday night.

 

1.     The only way that I could get from Ft. Wayne on Friday night to Swainsboro, Georgia on Saturday night was to drive back to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after the races in Ft. Wayne.  That would have put me at the airport at about 2 a.m. on Saturday morning.  The flight I needed to make from Chicago to Atlanta left at 6 a.m. on Saturday.  That meant I would have had only enough time to get maybe three hours of sleep in the airport overnight.  There would be no time for a hotel.

2.     By not going to Swainsboro, I eliminated 536 miles of incremental driving that would have been required.

3.     I stood to gain one lifetime NGD point by attending another track in Georgia.  However, my nearest fellow competitor in the lifetime NGD competition, Gordon Killian, could have gained FIVE lifetime NGD points if the track had raced and he had attended.  My lead going into Swainsboro was only nine points to begin with.

 

I never like to have a rainout on my trackchasing record.  However, the rainout allowed me to sleep in a hotel room on Friday night, it eliminated 536 miles of driving and saved me a potential loss of four lifetime NGD points.  As they say, there is always a silver lining in every cloud.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.  This note comes from a new subscriber to the RANLAY Racing Trackchaser Reports.  This gentleman is a retired district court judge and graduate of the Stanford University law school.  I hope it doesn’t take him too long to get “adjusted” to his new information source.

 

 

“Randy,  The only complaint I have about your e-mail on this subject is  --they are so abbreviated.  One of these days you must take the time to elaborate and fully explain to your eager audience what the hell a grown man sees in watching a bunch of fools run around a circular track in motor driven vehicles.”

GREETINGS FROM VERONA, MISSISSIPPI.

 

 

 

 

I WOKE UP IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.  I WENT TO SLEEP IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE BEFORE RETURNING TO SAN CLEMENTE ON NEW YEAR’S EVE.  THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.

 

 

 

 

PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS

 

 

 

 

The Objective 

 

One of the objectives on the first day of the 2007 trackchasing season that began in New Zealand was to get to the last day of the 2007 season.  Some 160 new tracks later, I made it!

 

It’s been a fun season as it always is.  I’ll be home just in time to celebrate New Year’s Eve with Trackchasing’s First Mother.  After a few rounds of golf and some trackchaser debriefing, our entire family will head out on a weeklong cruise along the Mexican Riviera.  Everyone is very much looking forward to this luxurious trip.

 

It would have been fun to have made it to my 1,300^th track in 2007.  I fell just two tracks short.  Now, it looks like there is an outside chance I may see #1,300 in a new country on a faraway continent.  Any trackchaser who is part of this email distribution list is welcome to hazard a guess as to where that might be.  Of course, as always, a very handsome prize will be awarded to the first person offering the correct guess.

 

I would be remiss if I did not alert all of my non-trackchaser friends and readers that things are amiss in the world of trackchasing politics.  Folks are making power plays right and left and the whole organization could collapse like a deck of cards.  In many ways, the group truly is dysfunctional.  I will keep you posted on the outcome of the disagreements and hope to have something positive to report in the future.

 

 

 

 

The Trip

 

This week’s trackchasing trip required an “interim” flight despite the fact that my track in Georgia ended up being canceled.  I was not simply flying into point A at the beginning of the trip and flying home from point A at the end of the trip.  I would need to fly from Chicago to Memphis in the middle of the trip.

 

The snowstorm that struck Chicago on Friday night had caused some Chicago-Memphis flights to be canceled.  Those passengers would then be rescheduled on Saturday flights to Memphis.  They could be taking up precious seats, maybe even my seat, which I was counting on for the success of this trip.

 

After driving some 200 miles from Ft. Wayne to Chicago on Saturday morning, I was hoping to fly on a United Express flight operated by SkyWest on Saturday afternoon.  My sources told me there were five first class seats available and four coach seats on a 70-passenger aircraft.  However, I was one of 13 standby passengers hoping to get one of those nine available seats.

 

How would YOU like those odds?  If I made it great.  However, if I missed this flight, I would be placed on standby for the next flight.  If I missed the very last flight of the night, I would be stranded!  Yep, that’s how it works in the world on non-rev standby flying.

 

However, I had an ace up my trackchasing sleeve.  Son J.J. flies for SkyWest Airlines.  On SkyWest operated flights (like this one), SkyWest dependents (like me) have priority over all other airline employees and dependents.  Ya!  That’s how it should work.  Not only did I make the flight, I got one of those first class seats!

 

I had a good idea I would get on the flight.  I was so confident that while I was still in Chicago I went online with Priceline.com and made a hotel reservation for Memphis.  What I did not realize at the time was that the Liberty Bowl football game was being played in Memphis today.  In addition to that, the #2 ranked Memphis University Tigers were playing the 18^th ranked Arizona Wildcats at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.  Activities like these would add to the difficulty of getting a hotel room at all, let alone at the 40-50% savings that Priceline offers.

 

I ended up making 12 offers before my bid was accepted.  This took me less than 10 minutes.  I was able to get a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in southeast Memphis for $50, a considerable savings over the rate being charged walkup guests.  I cannot tell you how happy I am about discovering the benefits of Priceline.  There will be very few Motel 6s or Super 8s in my future.  For those readers who are on the “continuous improvement” track, I offer the technical details of my Priceline bidding/re-bidding strategy.

 

 

 

What is a free re-bid?

A free re-bid is adding a zone that has only up to a lower quality level than you are bidding, to a rejected bid. It is not adding a zone that just doesn't have the quality level you are bidding. It must be a zone that has only up to a lower quality level.

For re-bidding purposes (when your bid has been rejected), add a zone that has only up to a lower quality level than what you are bidding, because that just gives you a free re-bid for your original zone. In other words, if Zone B has only 1*, 2* and 3* hotels (or 1* and 2*), and your original bid for a 4* hotel in Zone A has been rejected, you can add Zone B as a free rebid to your Zone A offer. You will not get a hotel in Zone B because it does not offer 4* hotels. Of course when you add the zone, you'll need to increase your bid amount and not lower your original quality level. To determine which zones offer which star levels, see #10 below. The Hotel Lists should never be used to determine your free re-bid zones for the reasons stated in the introductory comments on the Hotel Lists which you should read to learn how the Hotel Lists are compiled.

For purposes of free re-bidding, a zone with the highest level as Resort is only a free re-bid when bidding for a 5*. Bidding any lower than 5* and adding a zone that has Resort can result in what Priceline refers to as an upgrade to a Resort in the added zone.

In order to re-bid, you have to change at least one parameter of your bid. That could be adding a zone (as shown above), or changing the quality level, or changing the checkin or checkout date. Once you have exhausted all of those, you must wait 24 hours before bidding again.

 

 

 

The People

 

Downtown Memphis is an interesting place.  Carol and I spent some time down here earlier this year.  Memphis has “Beale Street” which is known for their Blues music.  The Peabody Hotel is in the middle of downtown as is the FedEx Forum arena where both Memphis University and the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies play basketball.  They also have a brand new first class minor league baseball game downtown.

 

Everyone that I met in Memphis was as nice as could be.  I started wondering if the Memphis tourism council had sent everyone to a “be nice” camp so that tourists like me could be treated so well.

 

When I arrived, I had a dilemma.  Should I go to the basketball game featuring two top 20 college basketball teams or should I go somewhere nice for dinner?  My stomach had two votes.  I chose the Rendezvous restaurant, which is rated as the #1 place in Memphis for ribs.  You might recall that Carol and I ate here earlier this year.

 

Rendezvous gets a RANLAY Racing Money Back Guarantee!  Their ribs truly are delicious.  Some of their serving policies are a bit unusual.  I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal.  I was served an entire pitcher of the stuff, even though I was only a single diner.  My full slab of ribs came with three dinner rolls, and small servings of baked beans and cole slaw.  I asked my server for some butter.  Nope!  They don’t serve butter at all.  My server told me, “It’s too fattening”.  They don’t serve any dessert either.  I only had to wait five minutes to be seated when I arrived at about 6 p.m.  When I was leaving, the Liberty Bowl football game had just let out and the restaurant was a zoo.  I was lucky to have arrived when I did.

STATE RANKINGS

Mississippi

Today I saw my 11^th lifetime track in the Magnolia state.  This moves me into a tie with racer driver Sammy Swindell for third place here.  I now have a third place ranking or better in 22 states.  I feel pretty good about that.

 

This is my last new track to see in 2007.  I have done all I could to attempt to wrest the lifetime National Geographic Diversity title from three time champion Gordon Killian.  I currently lead my fellow competitor by 0.2 points (6.35 vs. 6.55).  That lead is only ten state positions out of the 50 states and District of Columbia.  That’s not much.  Now we’ll all have to wait and see what other trackchasers posted during the month of December to determine if my efforts were enough.

 

Ed Esser holds down the lead spot in “Missippi” with 16 tracks.

 

 

 

 

RACE REVIEW

 

LEE COUNTY AGRI-CENTER, VERONA, MISSISSIPPI

 

Had I known what I was about to see, I would have been more worried on the trip down to the track.  It looked like there were 14 classes of go-karts racing today.  Only one of those classes is considered “trackchasing countable”.  That class was the “senior champ karts” a caged adult driven racing kart.

 

The internet talk made it seem like several (10-15?) of these senior champs would be on hand.  In point of fact, there were four senior champs on the line-up sheet but only three raced.  The senior champs had the fewest number of competitors of any of the 14 classes racing!  The junior champs brought more than 20 competitors.  It was nearly impossible to tell the junior champs from the senior champs.  Fortunately, each kart has a small sticker supplied by today’s race organizers identifying what class they were in.  Each of the flat kart divisions had more than 10 and sometimes nearly 20 racers.

 

The weather was cool on the outside, but the race was inside.  The track was located in Verona, Mississippi, a small town a few miles south of Tupelo, boyhood home of Elvis Pressley.  Although the Lee County Agri-Center building did not appear to be heated, the fully enclosed building kept the fans comfortable.

 

There are a series of “county fair” type buildings on the Agri-Center property.  The karters used these buildings as temporary garages for their race car haulers, campers and racing machines.  This was a “first annual” event, but the place looked well suited to house such a gathering ongoingly.

 

I arrived at 11:30 a.m.  Qualifying was scheduled to begin at 12 noon.  However, they started late and did not start the heat racing until nearly 2 p.m.  Fortunately, the senior champs, all three of them, were the second class to race.  Normally, for some devilish reason, senior champs race toward the end of most programs.  I found the kart racing to be very entertaining.  It was at least as entertaining as or more so than 75% of the “conventional” tracks that I have seen over the past several years.  After seeing most every division race, I left after being at the track for more than four hours.

 

The karts passed, they bumped and it was easy to get a close-up view of the racing action.  Once they got going they moved the show along quickly.  There was a small crowd on hand to occupy the pull out bleacher seating that spanned both the front and back straight.  I suspect when those “dreaded East coast trackchasers” finally come around to the fact that there are very few new tracks for them to see in their neighborhood, someone will propose counting all kart tracks.  I just hope the greedy ones don’t want such a rule to be retroactive.  I have been keeping track of my 100+ kart tracks that have not been countable up to know for just such an eventuality.

 

Well, that wraps up another year of trackchasing for me.  I saw a nice round number of 160 new tracks.  That’s a good number, but I don’t expect to see anywhere close to that many in 2008.  But, then a trackchaser never really knows what the future might hold.

 

 

 

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

 

Memphis – Saturday/Sunday/Monday

 

I saved $17 by going with Hertz via Priceline vs. my normal National Rental car.  Hertz even threw in a free GPS unit.  However, since I had my own I didn’t need to use their Magellan unit.

 

I do have a confession to make.  I have a strict policy about never lying.  My grandpa told me that if you lie, you will never be able to remember whom you lied to and what you lied about.  My grandpa taught me lots of good stuff and this was just one of his life’s teachings for me.

 

Today, I lied.  I didn’t mean to do it, but I did.  I wanted to test out the Hertz Magellan GPS unit that was permanently installed in the rental car.  I was driving down the road and started to program an address into the unit.  The GPS system immediately told me that I could not program the GPS unit while the vehicle was moving.  It then asked me, “Are you the passenger?”  You see the passenger CAN program the GPS unit while the cars moves along.  I am sad to confess that I pressed “Yes” and told the unit I was the passenger when I was really the driver.  This indiscretion has been bothering me for more than a day.  Now that I have confessed, I feel much better.  I hope my readers can understand the situation.

 

 

I drove the Hertz Rental Car Racing Chevy Impala Prix 261 miles in the two days that I had it.  I paid an average price of $2.94 per gallon.  The Chevy gave me 27.9 miles per gallon in fuel mileage at a cost of 10.5 cents (U.S.) per mile.  The car cost 18.4 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
