During 2006 season I visited 147 new tracks in 37 U.S. states as well as seeing new tracks in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Why does this website exist?
I am a trackchaser. I will go all over the United States and the world in search of auto racing tracks. To date, I have been to more than 1,300 tracks and am the World's #1 Ranked Trackchaser as verified by the hobbies official sanctioning body at www.trackchaser.net. In order for a track to be "countable" it must meet trackchaser rules. You can take a look at those rules at www.trackchaser.net.
I will also share information about the tracks I've visited. When I can, I will try to include a few pictures from the track and any interesting sites I've seen along the trackchasing trail. Hopefully, these pictures will make the trackchasing reports come alive. Maybe, the words and pictures will make you feel like you've actually been there.
I really value your feedback. If you see something you like, don't hesitate to send me an email. On the other hand, if you see something you don't like try to put it out of your mind immediately. Just kidding, if you see an improvement opportunity, let me know. I will value your feedback and consider it when I make changes to the website. The website program I'm working with does not have a spellchecker. Therefore, you are forewarned.
Thanks and enjoy what I've put together for you,
Randy Lewis
