RANLAY Racing Trackchaser Report
DAY 1 – BLACK HILLS REGION TRACKCHASING TOUR
IMPORTANT NOTICE
After much delay, I have added two important features to my website at www.ranlayracing.com. First, I finally got around to adding the audio play from my radio interview on ESPN’s West Sound Racing Program at 1380 AM in Everett, Washington. With your computer speakers turned on, you can listen via my site’s home page or with the link to ESPN radio found on my “Media Coverage” tab.
I have also added a feature I have wanted to do for a very long time. I now have a “Foreign Tracks Visited” tab at www.ranlayracing.com. This links too each of the 15 foreign country track visits I’ve made. If you ever wanted to see how the foreign tracks do it, this is the place. You’ll also get to experience the sights of these faraway visits as well.
TODAY’S HEADLINES
Tonight I wrapped up a nice newspaper interview with Jim Holland of the Rapid City Journal...................more in “The Objective”.
Tonight’s trip logistics were really “on the fly” …………..details in “The Trip”.
My encounter with the “boys from the hood” was most pleasant tonight…………..details in “The People”.
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 what the club leader and driver from the Sturup Raceway in Sweden shared with me this past week.
“I can see on your website that you keep up the pace in your trackschasing and that you still had time to become trackspottings' first twin grandpa :-) Congratulations on that! My wife and I had our first baby in December last year, so we know what a great feeling it is.
As I have mentioned before we would be very happy to publish your race report and maybe some photos in our club magazine. Can we lift it directly from your web pages? I guess it would also be nice with an introduction of who you are, can we use the "About Randy" page for that or do you have some other text that you want us to use?
Of course I will make sure you get a printed copy of the magazine.
Thanks in advance,
Pär-Olof
P.S. #1 In the "08-06-13 Prowers County Mtrsprts Park" gallery you write "I don't know why they farm like this. Can anybody explain it to me?" Don't you think it has to do with the way the irrigation works? I've seen fields ike this when I flew to Denver a couple of times.
P.S. #2 Each morning when I shave with Gillette and wash my hair with Head & Shoulders I think of your trackchasing :-)
JUST COMMENTS
I just got around to reviewing the schedule pages put out by the National Speedway News racing paper. They provided the racing dates for the top 19 racing sanctions in the country. There were 419 race dates included. How many new tracks do you think I have yet to see from these 19 groups? Just 20! No, I won’t be going to races with the major sanctioning groups much this year.
Through June 23 of this year, I have been to 60 tracks and travelled 141,634 miles. Last year by the same date, I had seen 74 tracks and traveled 91,808 miles. My desire to see more tracks internationally will increase my travel mileage but decrease my track totals.

GREETINGS FROM RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA.
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA. I WENT TO SLEEP IN BILLINGS, MONTANA AND THEN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO STAY OUT TWO NIGHTS IN ORDER TO COMPLETE MY FIRST DAY OF TRACKCHASING. THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY.
PEOPLE/STRATEGY/TRAVEL NEWS
The Objective
One of the things I most like to do when I’ve traveling down the trackchasing road is to meet with the local media. When I do that I can send the “trackchasing message” to a much broader audience.
First, I have to thank Butch Knouse for his help in this important area. Butch is South Dakota’s premier racing historian. If someone wants to know something about this state, Butch is the man to talk too.
He put me in contact with Jim Holland, the sports writer for the Rapid City Journal. Jim is a full-time employee for the paper. He covers all kinds of sporting activities. The paper is the dominant source for news in Western South Dakota. It reaches more than 76% of the adults in the market. I’ll tell you more about my interview with Jim in “Race Review”.
The Trip
I had planned to begin this weekend’s trackchasing trip in Rapid City, South Dakota for the past 4-5 days. I had only one problem. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get there. The racing would begin on Friday. However, it’s summer now. Standby flying is the most difficult in the summer. The availability of airplane seats did not look good on Friday morning.
Traveling from West to East, I lose time with time zone changes. Races normally start at about 7 p.m. I often have to change planes as well. These are all drawbacks to getting to the track on time. Friday morning did not look good at all.
It was Thursday afternoon. I had just returned from playing my normal Thursday morning round of golf. Carol was out running errands. I checked the flights again. All of a sudden, an idea came to me. Thursday’s flights look fairly good. If I showered, packed and left in the next 45 minutes, I could make this happen!
That’s what I did. The flight from Orange County to Salt Lake City was wide open. I wasn’t sure how I would get from Salt Lake to anywhere close to Rapid City, South Dakota. I would worry about that once I got to Salt Lake City.
Once I was on the way to the airport, I called Carol to tell her I was leaving early. Actually, this was only about 13 hours earlier that had I left on Friday morning. With Carol having weekend plans to help Kristy with the twins, I felt better about my trip this weekend.
Once I boarded the plane to Salt Lake, I started to consider alternatives that would take me from Salt Lake to a city somewhat near Rapid City. This is a list of the cities that had flights leaving AFTER I arrived in Salt Lake that would take me in the general direction of Rapid City, South Dakota.
Great Falls, MT
Butte, MT
Bozeman, MT
Billings, MT
Helena, MT
Cody, WY
Casper, WY
Jackson, WY
Idaho Falls, ID
Denver, CO
I used my Rand McNally mapping software to identify the round-trip distances I would need to drive if I used any of these towns. I looked at all of these cities and their relationship to my first race stop (Rapid City, SD) and my last planned race stop for the weekend (Acton, MT).
I narrowed my flying choices down to Denver, Cody, Billings, Bozeman and Casper. I also had the choice of driving to and from Salt Lake City to make this trip happen. Here’s what the round-trip mileage looked like from each of these cities:
Denver – 1,389
Salt Lake – 1,655
Cody – 909
Billings – 790
Bozeman – 1,068
Casper – 970
With the Salt Lake option, I would drive and therefore wouldn’t need a flight from SLC or back too SLC. However, as you can see, the driving mileage was the greatest from SLC.
I was also looking for a city where I could fly out of on Sunday night back to a hub in either SLC or Denver. This knocked Casper out of the running. The flight loads from SLC to Denver today, were bad, I couldn’t keep Denver in the running. Bozeman had a connection to SLC on Sunday night but not Denver. Cody was just too small of an airport. The flights were full at their Yellowstone National Airport. This left Billings.
Recall, that Billings, Montana was the first place I ever flew in my life. I was 21 years old. Billings had a lot going for it today. First, there were TWO flights to this location from SLC after I landed in Salt Lake. Secondly, there were also two flights on Sunday night back to Salt Lake. One of them could actually get me back to the Orange County airport where my car was on late Sunday night.
As luck would have it, there were seats on a regional jet going from SLC to Billings. Regional jets normally carry either 50 or 70 passengers. These airplanes service all of these smaller cities sprinkled over the American Far West. Obviously, it doesn’t take that many people to fill one of these planes.
Once I knew I could get on a flight to Billings, it was time to think about a rental car. I didn’t think I would have much problem in this area, but I did. I called my old standby National Rental Car. They had cars but wanted to impose a 450-mile limit on my three-day rental. Extra miles would be charged at 20 cents a mile. This is the first mileage limit I have come across in years. Despite, my preferred Emerald Club rental status, they would not budge off their mileage limit.
I called Hertz. I’m a “Hertz #1” club member. That didn’t help. They also had a 450-mile limit for a three-day car rental. However, they DID have unlimited mileage at a higher rate. I didn’t have much choice, I reserved a three-day rental of a full-sized car for $191. That was expensive but I didn’t have any choice.
However, I did have my Lenovo laptop and my Sierra Wireless anytime anywhere internet capability. I also had ten minutes before my flight was leaving for Billings. I gave Priceline.com a shot. I bid $31 a day for a full-sized car. My bid was accepted! I now had a car for $121. That was a $70 savings over the reservation I had with Hertz.
The real advantage was there was not going to be any mileage limit. I expected to drive almost 1,000 miles, so this was key. Who would I be renting with. The National Rental Car Company!! Yes, these were the same folks who would not rent me a car with unlimited mileage at ANY price. I hold the highest frequent renter status (Executive Selection) that anyone can earn with National.
I never would have saved the 70 bucks or got unlimited mileage with National without all of the technology and information sources I carry. The great thing about these tools is they save me money week after week. The savings amounts to MANY times what I’ve paid for the aids I use.
By the way, would you the reader, be willing to leave on 45 minutes notice flying standby in the middle of the summer to an unknown destination? To top it all off, I left with just $60 in my money clip.
The People
I didn’t arrive at the Motel 6 in Rapid City, South Dakota until nearly midnight after tonight’s races. I was surprised to see that the hotel’s road sign read “$75.99 – 1 person”. Doesn’t that seem a bit pricy for a Motel 6? Nevertheless, they were sold out. Hotels in the Far West are both expensive and busy during the summer months.
I must say that I have encountered my share of, shall I say, questionable individuals at some of these economy motels. I guess ner’do’wells have to stay somewhere when they travel. I have become familiar with many local police vehicles simply by looking out my window. Nevertheless, I remain a fan of the Motel 6 when I arrive late and leave early.
Tonight I had to park a good distance from the hotel lobby area. I gathered up all of my stuff and made the trek to check-in. It was late. I was closely followed by two guys who looked to be “from the hood”. They had the baseball caps turned sideways, bagging jeans and the “overall look”. I felt a little uncomfortable having them behind me for 100 yards in the darkened parking lot.
I must say that Motel 6 clerks often don’t look or act much better than the guys who were tailing me. I don’t know who is safer when I have to stand behind a bulletproof piece of glass to pay for my room, the clerk or me.
Nevertheless, when I entered the office, my two “buddies” followed. I even held the door for them, which was greeted with eyes facing downward, and no thanks at all. The clerk began to process my paperwork and told the two men that the motel was sold out. They didn’t seem to mind. The clerk then asked them what they wanted. I was somewhat afraid to hear what the answer to that question might be. I’ve never been a part of an armed robbery before.
Their answer could have knocked me over with a feather. One of them reached in his pocket and pulled out a brand new Apple iphone. “I found this in the parking lot. I wanted to turn it in”. Wow! Good going guys! I was proud of them. It just goes to show that you can’t (well sometimes you can) judge a book by its cover. Now, I worried what the desk clerk would do with that phone!
RACE REVIEW
BLACK HILLS SPEEDWAY, RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA
HEARTLAND SPEEDWAY, RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA
This was a most unusual trackchasing double. These two tracks are just six miles apart. The Heartland Speedway offers countable racing only 2-3 times per year. It is mainly a go-kart track. The Black Hills Speedway has had management problems and weather problems recently. Despite this being the last week of June, tonight was only their third race of the year. I’ve give you a chronological breakdown on how the night went.
5:00 p.m. - I arrived at the Black Hills Speedway. Their program was not scheduled to begin until 7:30 p.m. I was here early to meet with Jim Holland, sports writer for the Rapid City Journal. We had talked in advance on the phone and agreed to meet in the track’s parking lot.
Jim arrived in his pickup truck. Since the wind was blowing strongly and it was already beginning to get cold, we did our newspaper interview in his truck! We talked for nearly an hour. Jim’s story is scheduled to come out in a featured addition on Friday, July 4th.
Jim had many interesting questions. He even told me he had one or two that he didn’t think I had ever been asked before. He did. You’ll have to read the story on line at http://www.rapidcityjournal.com/ or pick up a copy of the paper or read the text at www.ranlayracing.com when it is posted to find out exactly what those questions were.
I had enjoyed meeting Jim and talking trackchasing and sports in general with him. As always, I try to emphasize the non-racing aspect of trackchasing, i.e., travel, planning, logistics, etc. I feel that’s a much bigger part of the hobby than what actually happens on the track. Of course, I enjoy each facet of trackchasing, which is why I do it. Jim, it was great meeting you let’s stay in touch.
6:00 p.m. – With the tracks being six miles apart, the driving time between the two was right at 10 minutes. I was told the racing was to begin at the Heartland Speedway at 6 p.m. I arrived there just a few minutes past six. The only countable class racing tonight would be the mini-sprints from the Badlands Mini-Sprint Association.
However, when I arrived it was immediately discernable that they would not be starting at 6 p.m. Although the cars were out of their haulers, the track was still being worked on. Nobody seemed to be in a great hurry. Rather than wait around with nothing happening, I decided to drive back into Rapid City for a real dinner.
6:15 p.m. – I love eating Mongolian BBQ. I just don’t expect to find it often in more rural locations. When I saw such a location in Rapid City, I made a hard left into the parking lot. As most of you know, Mongolian BBQ establishments allow the diner to select their foods in a buffet style line. The drill goes like this. You get a large bowl, fill it with meat, veggies, and then lots of noodles. From there either you or the cook, adds various sauces before the entire concoction is placed on a flat circular grill. The cook uses two large wooden “chopsticks” to move the food around the grill until it is cooked. Yes, this is one of my favorite cuisines.
7:30 p.m. I pulled into the Black Hills Speedway parking lot for the second time this afternoon/evening. I had hoped the Heartland Speedway would start on time at 6 p.m. With just one countable class racing down there, I figured it would be easy to get back to Black Hills Speedway in time to get good pictures in the summertime daylight.
Since Heartland was more than tardy, I decided to catch the beginning of the Black Hills program that started on time at 7:30 p.m. I saw several heat races in the first 30 minutes of their program. I would plan to return later in the evening for feature racing action at Black Hills.
The BHS has been having management/city issues over the past few years. The track has a rich racing history. They have been in business for more than 60 years. They even hosted a NASCAR Grand National race (now called Sprint Cup) back in 1953.
Last year, they raced on a 3/8-mile dirt oval. A couple of years ago, they even had a ¼-mile dirt oval inside of the larger oval. Both of those tracks have been dispensed with. Today, they race on just one track. It’s a very large half-mile dirt oval. For my tastes, it’s too big. However, for some reason, they prefer this to the smaller ovals.
The cars pit in the track’s infield. I like that. They have a HUGE grandstand seating area. The top several rows of the grandstand have folding “major league ballpark” type seats. The place must seat 10,000 people.
The P.A. system was great. The announcer was top notch. Jim Holland told me the announcer was the former mayor of Rapid City. Please take a look at the photos from BHS that appear on www.ranlayracing.com.
8:10 p.m. – It was now time to return to the Heartland Speedway. When I had left earlier in the evening they had 18 mini-sprints on hand. They were supposed to begin at 6 p.m. They were woefully late. I didn’t know how long an 18-car mini-sprint program could take, but it didn’t seem like it would last long.
When I pulled in, I found a driver’s meeting of sorts going on. They still weren’t racing! Since I was coming into the middle of the meeting, it took a few moments to get myself up to speed with the issues at hand.
What I was about to learn wasn’t good. The mini-sprint part of the program had been a last minute addition to the group’s schedule. When I planned this trip a few days out, I did not even have this track on my schedule. When I learned they were racing and I was already going to be at a track just six miles away (Black Hills Speedway) I was quite happy. However, the saying “Be careful what you wish for” applied tonight.
Because the racing program was a last minute addition, they had not arranged to have an EMT (emergency medical technician) at the track. With no EMT the track owner was explaining that the track’s insurance would not be in effect. That meant that if someone got hurt, they were on their own.
The situation prompted the track owner who was in charge of the flat kart program to immediately cancel those races. There were only 10-20 flat karts here tonight and since they don’t count in trackchasing, I didn’t really care. This meant that the mini-sprint racing could get going and get finished quicker.
However, the mini-sprint racers weren’t sure if they wanted to race without insurance either. In the end, nine of the eighteen elected not to race. The other nine drivers decided they would race two heats and a feature. As they trudged off to their trailers, one driver was heard to say, “I don’t need insurance, I don’t have anything to live for”. As that point another pit member said, “You must be married”. Yep!
For whatever reason, the nine remaining mini-sprint drivers were in no hurry to begin racing. They still had minor pangs of indecision about whether what they were doing was a good idea or not. Since this track only offers countable racing 2-3 times per year and I was here, I wanted to see them race. However, I didn’t want to stand around the pit area all night while six divisions of racecars were doing battle at a track just six miles away.
I put my waiting time to good use. I spoke with the owner of the Heartland Speedway for several minutes. He is an earthmoving contractor and had built his track from scratch. I must say the Heartland Speedway ranks in the top 5 go-kart racing facilities I have ever visited.
It’s probably about 1/5-mile in length and banked. It has first class lighting. They didn’t use the P.A. tonight due to the abbreviated program, although I did spend some time talking with the track’s regular announcer.
I also spent several minutes talking to the president of the Badlands Mini-Sprint Association. He was in sort of a “Ted Johnson” situation of trying to appease his drivers while organizing a traveling schedule that requires his group to race in several states during the season. It’s not easy. It was also fun to talk to several of the mini-sprint drivers. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful.
Finally, at about 9:30 p.m. they began the countable racing. The first heat ran ten laps for four cars. The second heat ran ten laps for five cars. Then everyone went back into the pit area for what would be a scheduled 30-lap nine-car main event. I could have stayed to watch this feature race. I had already seen heat racing at the Black Hills Speedway so that track was in the books. However, I figured the feature racing at BHS with several classes running would be more interesting than the final race at the Heartland track.
10:00 p.m. - I had now been at the two Rapid City tracks for nearly five hours. I had not seen much racing. When I pulled into the BHS parking lot, I had no idea how much racing they still had to do. It was encouraging to see the sprint car feature just pulling onto the track for their feature race. They had nine cars. The other classes of stock cars were all parked outside of their infield trailers. It looked like I would get to see their feature races as well.
The sprint car feature had some yellows and a red-flag stoppage. It was cold. The mosquitoes had been gorging themselves on my golf-tanned legs, housed only in “golfing trousers” at the Heartland Speedway. Now I was freezing to death at Black Hills. When the sprint car feature finished up, I settled into my seat to watch some stock car racing. However, there would be none! The sprint car feature race was the last event of the night.
This had been a most unusual night of racing. How can you plan on a track that is scheduled to race at 6 p.m. not having their first race until 9:30 p.m. under ideal weather conditions?
10:15 p.m. – I met up again with Jim Holland and we took some photos for this week’s trackchasing feature. It had been an interesting night. I had not seen as much racing as I had expected, but I did talk to a lot more people that I had planned too. I was satisfied with the evening.
STATE RANKINGS
South Dakota
Today I saw my 11th and 12th lifetime tracks in South Dakota. This moves me up from a tie for fifth place with Allan Brown past Don McAuley who has eleven tracks. I’m now in a tie for third place in the state with Gordon Killian. This move up the ranks gives me a two-state position gain, which is significant in the lifetime National Geographic Diversity standings. Ed Esser leads here with 16 total tracks.

RENTAL CAR UPDATE
Billings, MT – Thursday/Sunday
I will be driving the National Rental Car Racing Nissan Altima. I don’t often drive rental cars from makers other than the “Big 3”. The car is somewhat similar to the Chevy Malibu. It has a push button starter rather than the traditional key starting mechanism. This is identical to Carol’s Lexus GS 350 at home. I’ve driven the car more than 430 miles and the gauges tell me, I can drive more than 100 more. Most of the GM products I rent top out at about 400-425 miles per tank.
Thanks for reading about my trackchasing,

UPCOMING TRACKCHASING PLANS
Despite a rocky start with the Badlands Mini-Sprint Racing Association tonight, I’m willing to give them one more chance. It doesn’t hurt that they will be racing tomorrow night at a track that has not held countable racing in about five years.
