Re: How many tracks have you raced at or been to ?
 
I honestly thought Jeff Foster and Bob Brockemeyer would be in the "200 Club" by now. The only guys I know who've legitimately achieved that mark, (and whom I've verified), are Garlits, Ivo, Al Hanna and myself. I'm at 276 tracks right now but I'm sure there are a few more folks over two hundred and it wouldn't surpise me to see a few with higher counts than me.

Ron, the last time I was Hazelhurst, I got chased off by your buddy's cows! The track at Pearl is still somewhat intact and The Sports Arena dragstrip is now the main road into a subdivision.

Bret, I am sure Bob is over the 200 mark.

Jon, I made it to Magnolia in both its "original phase", (around 1978 or so), and its much nicer "new phase", (2007). It's a cool little joint!

I have been at 64 Tracks in 25 states (that I can remember)
Raced at 62 of those, (didn't race at Pomona or Fremont)
and was in the final round at 29 of those tracks

lots of miles driven, thousands of dollars in entry fees,
and a million great memories.

How many?...Not enough. Back in the early 70's, I grew up within 4 miles of both Minnesota Dragway's and Twin Cities Speedway. I drove to them both and never needed to go any further to race. I wanted to go to Amber Green once, but I couldn't find a trailer to borrow. Back then it was hard enough for a kid to borrrow some slicks. lol

Forward.....After a couple grandkids, I've raced or have been to all the Div 5 tracks except Bandimere. My dream someday is to be in the staging lanes at Indy.

If I counted right I think it was 36 tracks + 2 in Canada.
