DAY 3 – FIRST TRIP OF THE SUMMER TRACKCHASING TOUR
Thanks to all who took the time to offer congratulations on the twins! All of your comments were sent to the proud parents, Kristy and James. Astrid and Mitch thank you too!
TODAY’S HEADLINES
Have you ever slept overnight in an airport? Would you?...................more in “The Trip”.
If you had the chance, would you kick the cane out from under an old woman? …………..details in “The People”.
Guess the answer to this question before you read further. How much of the total federal income collected do the top 10% of income earners pay?…………..details in “Just Comments”.
AND THE READERS RESPOND
From time to time, track promoters and others connected to a track that I’ve seen write me regarding my comments about their track. When I see a new track, I try to be as objective as I can. When the track does good things, I tell you about it. When the track’s performance in some specific area lags, I tell you about that in the form of “constructive criticism”. Since I pay my way in I’m not “influenced” by anybody or anything. Of course, what I’m seeing is just what happens on one particular night. Maybe the track was better or worse in a particular way at some other time…..but probably not.
I didn’t think my write-up about the Valentine Speedway in Wyoming was particularly positive. The track was new and it is located in a very rural area. Those usually are not two items that go together when I think of a good racetrack and program. I did receive feedback from two representative of the Valentine Speedway. If their approach to my feedback is any indication about how they are going to run the track, the fans in their area are going to be getting some good local track management. Here’s what they had to say.
Respondent #1
……I am a racer of a mini Sprint #13 and secretary at Valentine Speedway Glenrock, WY. Here is a picture of our 9-11 special 2007. We wanted to thank you for visiting our track. We really appreciate your comments and photos on you web site. You have a great sense of humor. Thank you
Respondent #2
thank you for your comments, pictures and review of our track. we will bring your review to the officers and members of the track and make improvements to make our show better. thanks for stopping in
JUST COMMENTS
I don’t think much of our government’s economic stimulus package recently approved by our country’s legislators. You know the one…..where just about everybody gets a check for 600 bucks from Uncle Sam. I was listening to a radio program where folks were being asked how they were going to spend their $600 check. One respondent said he was going to get guitar lessons that he couldn’t afford to get without the check.
To be fair, I will tell you that my income puts me beyond the level where I will receive a $600 check or any government check for that matter. I’m just like the next person. If someone WANTED to give me six hundred dollars I would have a hard time turning it down.
Nevertheless, who do you think is REALLY paying most people in America six hundred dollars? Where do you think that money came from? The tooth fairy? Where does the cash come from so that our friend can get his $600 worth of guitar lessons? Should the government being providing money for guitar lessons?
There are really three places that money comes from. First, the government can BORROW the money to pay everyone $600. This way a person’s children and/or grandchildren can try to pay the money back later so everyone can have guitar lessons or whatever. Of course, by the time they get around to paying in back, the debt will not be $600. It will be two, three or more times the original amount.
The government can always PRINT MORE MONEY so everyone gets some cash. Of course, when governments print money that means your money that you already have will be worth less in the future. That’s called inflation. Yes, you do get six hundred bucks. However, if you have $100,000 in the bank and inflation goes up just one percent, then the negative impact on your savings will be much greater than the six hundred dollars you got from the government.
Finally, the government can fund these programs by simply TAXING THE RICH people more. However, exactly how much more can you tax rich people? Already the folks who fall into the top 10% of income earners pay 70.3% of all income tax (Source: National Taxpayers Union Foundation – www.ntu.org). Heck, the bottom 50% of “taxpayers” pay just 3.7% of all income taxes. That’s ridiculous!
So…..lots of people get six hundred bucks. The money comes from borrowing, printing more money or taxing rich folks. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Will this spending help our economy when the recipient goes down to Wal-Mart for a shopping spree? I don’t think so. Much of what Wal-Mart sells was made in China. Yes, most of your six hundred bucks will increase the profits of Chinese companies!
Just one more example for folks to think about. Let’s say your kid decides to open up a lemonade stand at the sidewalk in front of your house. Sales are poor. His business is not doing well. You feel sorry for him, so you call your banker and ask to borrow $50. You then give your kid 50 dollars to buy out his inventory (inventory he got from YOUR pantry by the way). Now the kid’s happy, but you owe the bank $50. Was this really a win-win situation?
Other “Just Comments”
I’m getting razzed on the putting greens of the Pacific Golf Club for not being able to achieve a first place trackchaser ranking in California. I don’t think I will ever get to first place in California. I trail by more than 40 tracks. I have only two currently operational tracks in the Golden state that I have not seen. I’m perfectly comfortable leaving the California title with the late and great Gary Jacob, the best racechaser ever to come down the pike.

GREETINGS FROM YORK, NEBRASKA.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN DENVER, COLORADO. I WENT TO SLEEP IN DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.
PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS
The Objective
Among the multitude of objectives for the Trackchaser Report is to entertain and to educate. By entertain, I mean to simply bring a smile to your face when you read about the adventures and travails of the “World’s #1 Ranked Trackchaser”. If I’ve done that a time or two, then I’ve accomplished my entertainment objective.
By educate, I mean to bring to you a thought or an idea that will make your life better, easier, more entertaining and/or just more fun. More than 87% of the subscribers to the Trackchaser Report are not active race fans or trackchasers. They’re just family, friends and folks I’ve met along the trail.
Trackchasing mirrors life. The story line I share may directly relate to my trackchasing. However, it might just as easily, and often does relate indirectly to something that you yourself might have done in your daily routine. It will be up to you, the reader, to make the mental leap from what happened in a trackchasing adventure to what can and does happen in your own life. For those who can successfully make that jump, I promise you an “education” of sorts or at the very least, some minor mental stimulation. Take a look at “The Trip” to see what I’m talking about.
The Trip
Last night I was returning from my new track visit in Calhan, Colorado to Denver. I planned to stay overnight near the Denver airport and then depart early Sunday morning for Boise, Idaho. It’s a challenge finding “open” flights in the summertime. However, my flight from Denver to Boise had looked good all week. Flights from Boise to back home didn’t look as good. That didn’t bother me too much. I figured that once I got to Boise and saw my new track that I’d get home eventually. That’s the positive attitude I try to carry over to all walks of my life.
It was nearly 1 a.m. on Sunday. I was within ten miles of the Denver International Airport Motel 6. I find Motel 6s to offer basic, clean accommodations for a low price. I don’t mind using them when I arrive to the hotel late at night and expect to depart early in the morning. I won’t often stay in places like this if Carol is with me. For this evening’s stay, a Motel 6 would be perfect.
As I mentioned I was just 10 miles from the hotel. I use my cell phone a good deal to plan and then solidify my travel plans throughout each trip I take. My Sunday morning flight had about 12-15 open seats (50-person capacity) all week. There were just two standby passengers. This was the “perfect storm” for what I needed to accomplish. However, a flight can be “wide open” all week and then have its open seat status change at the very last minute.
Not many passengers will buy an airline ticket at the last minute. It’s just too expensive. However, many airline employees/dependents (like me) book at the very last minute. There’s really no incentive for us to book early. When this happens, my seniority date doesn’t hold up well and I can be left behind.
When I made that cell phone call one last time to check on the status of my flight to Boise, I received the worst possible news. The recording told me “the flight is overbooked with two standbys”. This meant those 12-15 seats that had been available all week were gone! I knew that I was one of those two standby passengers.
Had those 12-15 seats been sold at the last minute to people who don’t plan real well? Not likely. The most likely cause for such a dramatic turnaround in seating availability is that the airline, or some other airline that also flies the Denver-Boise route had cancelled a flight. That meant the passengers on the cancelled flight were now being put on “my” flight. Let’s say two 50-passenger regional jets are each booked with 30 passengers. That would make both of those flights “wide open”. However, if one of those planes cancels, you now have 60 passengers wanting to fly on one 50-passenger plane. That doesn’t leave any room for guys like me.
The Boise flight left at 8:30 a.m. That meant I would need to leave the hotel by 6:30 a.m. (5:30 a.m. San Clemente time) or so to return the rental car, clear airport security and wait to see if I could get a seat. That didn’t seem like a good use of my time considering the flight was overbooked. The next flight to Boise didn’t land until almost 3 p.m. That would be too late to see my planned afternoon race in the greater Boise area. I would not be going to Boise today!
What was plan B? I really had two choices. I could return home to San Clemente earlier on Sunday. My original plan that included Boise was still going to get me back home late Sunday night. I didn’t figure the advantage of getting home 8-10 hours early was worth not getting a new track. There must be a different plan B lurking somewhere out there.
I scanned the RANLAY Racing 2008 New Tracks Racing Schedule. This is a list of race dates exclusive to me. It includes every date that I know about in the entire world at a racetrack I have never visited. This race date database is extremely confidential. I have spent hours researching track and sanction websites, racing newspapers and racing email forums to come up with this valuable information.
In years gone by, I freely shared this data with other trackchasers. Then, I discovered that MOST other trackchasers never shared their dates with me. In fact, they didn’t share their dates with MOST of the other trackchasers. It took me years to figure this out. I was sharing dates with them, but they weren’t sharing dates with me or anyone else.
That’s when I changed my philosophy about race date sharing. I wasn’t mad that other trackchasers didn’t share their dates. It just dawned on me that they had done all of the work to get the dates. To me, that meant they had a right to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Once they actually went to a track, I would learn about it on www.trackchaser.net. Then I would benefit from their good trackchasing research efforts. I could go to the track the NEXT time they raced. I was still benefiting from someone else’s efforts, but the benefit was delayed in time by a small amount.
I reviewed my new track race list for Sunday, June 22, 2008. I had tracks all over North America I could visit. There was even a track in France I could visit! However, I was in Denver, Colorado. It was 1 a.m. on Sunday. I needed somewhere that I could get too in time for Sunday’s race and, preferably, get back to San Clemente to sleep in my own bed on Sunday night. If I could accomplish this, I would have nearly the same plan that my aborted Boise trip would have provided.
My best bet looked like a trip to York, Nebraska. I could even drive from Denver to York. However, that was about 900 miles round-trip. It was doable but it would cost me about $150 in gasoline. There was also no way I could get back to San Clemente on Sunday night if I tried to drive to Nebraska.
Another option was to fly from Denver to somewhere near York, Nebraska. York is about 110 miles west of Omaha. Omaha would have good air service from Denver. However, the college world series is currently going on in Omaha, so available flight into there didn’t look good.
This is when I discovered the state capital of Nebraska, Lincoln. Mind you, it’s now 2 a.m. on Sunday morning and I’m in my room at the Motel 6 trying to figure this out. I’ve already flown from Cincinnati, Ohio to Denver earlier in the day AND driven more than 400 miles around Colorado during the day as well just to keep myself busy.
A morning flight from Denver to Lincoln looked good. It was even two hours later (10:30 a.m.) than my originally planned trip to Boise. Lincoln was also half the driving distance, about 50 miles, to York than Omaha was. Things were starting to look better for me. Next up was trying to find out if I could leave Lincoln after the race and get back to San Clemente on Sunday night. I could! The timing would be tight, but the flights looked great. Next up was a visit to www.weather.com. How was the weather going to be in York, Nebraska? I learned it would be 80 degrees with little chance of rain. I had a plan.
Yes, I had turned a lemon into lemonade. Is there anything you can learn from all of this? Maybe, maybe not. I suspect the skeptic can spin the story anyway they might like. However, I don’t spend much of my time being skeptical and I prefer not spending any time with the skeptics I know.
For me, trackchasing provides as much of a mental gymnastics challenge as I’m willing to take on at this stage in my life. For years, I worked for Procter & Gamble at wage rates that always made me thank my lucky stars. I don’t really recall working on any projects in business that were anymore mentally challenging than the mental logistics required to make things work in trackchasing. This is not a criticism of any work I’ve ever done in the past. It’s more of a statement on what it takes to pursue my hobby the way I choose to pursue it today.
Could I summarize what I’m trying to say in a very few words? Yes, but if I did would you consider your subscription to the RANLAY Racing Trackchaser Report as worthwhile?
I really just talking about “keep flying the airplane” and “don’t settle for less”. It’s easy in life when faced with roadblocks of one sort or another to simply “settle for less”. I think the best way, and a fun way to live, is to keep trying to get what you want, until you can’t find any more options that will get the job done. You won’t always find a solution that you’re looking for but many times you will.
AFTER THE RACE…….
My plan was working perfectly until I got back to the Lincoln Municipal Airport after the race. I would board a flight from Lincoln to Denver, then change planes and head home to Orange County. That plan would have been great, but it didn’t work out.
Although the weather in Lincoln was gorgeous my Lincoln to Denver plane was coming from Chicago. Chicago had bad weather. This delayed my departure out of Lincoln. The delay was so great that I missed my Denver to Orange County connection.
By the time I got to Denver it was nearly 11 p.m. There were no more flights going to SoCal. I checked the departure board. There was a flight to San Francisco but I still couldn’t get back home until Monday morning even from there.
I had a decision to make. I was somewhat between “a rock and a hard place”. The time was now approaching midnight. My best option to get back to Los Angeles was a 6:50 a.m. Monday morning departure. The Denver airport is out in the middle of nowhere. It’s not very close to hotels. By the time I did get to a hotel it would be 1 a.m. I would have to be back at the airport by 5:30 a.m. In the situation, what would you do?
Here’s what I did. I found a quite (relatively) place down by gate B19. No one else was around. I plugged in my laptop and my cell phone. I never want to be caught without power. By the way, I came very close to offering one of those valuable Wal-Mart gift certificates right now…but I didn’t. However for those people who have read this far, I will be making an UPGRADED Wal-Mart offer for the Trackchaser Report that reports on my 63rd track of 2008. Today’s track was my 60th of the season, so you won’t have to wait long. The fewer people who know about this offer the better for YOUR chance to win.
Tonight I would find slumber in the airport. Yes, I would be sleeping overnight at D.I.R. This had to be safer than sleeping in a highway rest area. At least none of the bad buys had a gun or even a sharp metal object in my part of the airport.
Sleeping on a half inch of indoor/outdoor carpet laid over concrete isn’t as good as sleeping on our Tempurpedic mattress at home, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. By the way, if you’re getting the bright idea that sleeping overnight in an airport might reduce some of those pesky vacation expenses I recommend www.sleepinginairports.com. You’ll get some good tips there.
I visited the Coca Cola museum in Atlanta earlier this year. During that visit they reminded me of their most famous ever TV commercial. It was a commercial featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers Mean Joe Greene and titled, “Hey Kid”. In the commercial “Mean Joe” has had a tough game. He’s walking back to the locker room when he meets a young boy who tells Mean Joe he’s the greatest. Mean Joe looks up, thanks the kid, and then resumes his painful walk back through the stadium tunnel to the locker room. Then Mean Joe pauses, turns around and says, “Hey kid,” and tosses the boy his game jersey. Yes, it’s a tearjerker.
I had my own “Mean Joe” experience just as I was getting reading to nod off to sleep for a few hours at gate B19. I had my used t-shirts and underwear all piled up to form sort of a pillow. I was using my long sleeve summer t-shirt as a blanket. My first class airline eyeshades blocked out the bright lights of the airport terminal. I was ready for some shuteye.
Just then a voice said, “Hey sir”. The voice came from an older black man wearing an airport janitorial uniform. He looked down on me laying on the floor. From behind his back he pulled out a pillow. “Here, you might need this”. Yep! This is why I go trackchasing. The people I meet even on the spur of the moment are great!
The People
Today at the Lincoln airport, I waited in line behind a much older lady while she tried to rent a car from Alamo. I must have waited in line for more than 20 minutes. The youngish rental car agent seemed to have to explain and re-explain most of the company’s policies to this infrequent renter. I had to hear explanations about “collision damage waivers”, “re-fueling policies”, and “early return penalties” for much longer than I cared too.
These are terms, I’m very familiar with because of the travel I’ve done all my life. However, this woman was not a frequent or savvy traveler. There were times, I wanted to kick her cane out from under her and send her to the back of the line (not really!). There were other times, where I just wanted to jump in and say, “Don’t take the insurance, it’s a rip-off” or “fill up the tank yourself, you’ll save a lot of money”. However, as Carol frequently says, “no good deed goes unpunished”. She’s often correct. What if I talked this woman out of taking the insurance and she totaled the car and didn’t have her own insurance? I wouldn’t want to have that on my head.
I settled for simply standing behind her and waiting. I had to commend her. She was traveling all by herself at an advanced age and renting a car. How many people would be willing to do that, at any age?
When it was all done, I volunteered to help carry her bags to her car. That seemed the least I could do. I just hoped that she was going to have a safe and pleasurable trip.
RACE REVIEW
YORK COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS, YORK, NEBRASKA
I arrived at today’s track about three hours before race time. I found a huge shade tree where I could park for the duration. I spent the time doing more trackchaser research and getting the next Trackchaser Report ready for publication.
This is my 61st track of the 2008 season. In trackchasing we count racing on ovals, road courses and figure 8 tracks. We only added figure 8 tracks to the list of approved trackchasing venues about five years ago. To date, I have seen more figure 8 tracks than anybody else. However, I don’t really think of figure 8 racing as REAL racing. It’s more of a novelty event than anything else to me. However, I play by the rules in everything I do. The trackchasing group voted and decided we should count figure 8 tracks. Therefore, I go to these types of tracks because they support my #1 trackchasing objective of increasing my lifetime trackchasing totals.
I was somewhat surprised to see that this was my FIRST figure 8 track of the year. I suspect I will see several more before the year is out. They are good for providing a mid-week racing date during the summer. The state of Nebraska is one of the most prolific states in the union for figure 8 racing. They seem to add more figure 8 tracks every year.
Today’s racing took place at the York County Fairgrounds. Most stand-alone figure 8 shows are run at county fair tracks. This was a gorgeous day to be outside with temps in the low 80s and a nice breeze blowing all day. York is a smallish town. Nevertheless, they nearly filled a large and modern aluminum grandstand.
There were two classes of stock cars racing today. In total there were about 40 big V-8 motored mainly American sedans racing. The heat winners transferred to the feature event. All of the other cars raced in a series of consolation events. The winners of each consi transferred to the “A” main. I was able to stay for the stock feature but not for the unlimited feature as I had a plane to catch in somewhat nearby Lincoln, Nebraska.
With the sun and the wind, the track needed to be watered from time to time. I could tell they needed more water when large chunks of dry dirt would fly into the stands. I didn’t wait for them to water the track. I moved up higher in the grandstand! There wasn’t much action at the “X” that marked the intersection of the figure “8”. I would use an MRI term and describe today’s racing as “unremarkable”. Given my change of plans at the last minute with Boise, I was glad to get any track in the books.
STATE RANKINGS
Nebraska
This afternoon I saw my 28th lifetime track in the Cornhusker state. I’m a solid seven tracks ahead of third place Allan Brown and just two tracks shy of the state leader, Ed Esser who has seen 30 tracks in Nebraska. I’ve got to keep the pressure on Ed in his backyard as he does in mine. A large group of 43 trackchasers has come to this state to enjoy their hobby.

RENTAL CAR UPDATE
Lincoln, NE - Sunday
I will be driving the Alamo Rental Car Racing Chevy Impala Super Sport. This is my third rental car (Cincinnati, Denver, Lincoln) during this quick 58-hour away from home trip. I rented this car via Priceline.com. The Super Sport engine growls like the one in Jeff Gordon’s NASCAR Impala. As a bonus, it also has XM satellite radio. Why is satellite radio so important? It offers perfect reception wherever I go and it provides more than 100 stations!
I drove the Alamo Rental Car Racing Chevy Impala 113 miles in the less than six hours I had it away from the airport. I paid an average price of $3.95 per gallon. The Impala gave me 37.6 miles per gallon (genetically altered) in fuel mileage at a cost of 10.5 cents (U.S.) per mile. The car cost 36.8 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.
Thanks for reading about my trackchasing,

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS
Probably just one more trip before we celebrate the Fourth of July from the outdoor deck of our seaside mansion. San Clemente has just about the best fireworks of any place I’ve seen. Our location is just 500 yards from where they shoot ‘em off. I rarely if ever can be found trackchasing anywhere on this holiday.
