RANLAY Racing Trackchaser Report

DAY 1 – “WE’RE BACK!!!!” TRACKCHASING TOUR

EDITOR’S NOTE

Trackchasing is primarily a male sport. There is not a single woman who has ever trackchased on their own like many of our male trackchasers do. Trackchasing seems to attract a special male demographic. Most of the top male trackchasers are unmarried. Of the chasers who are married, very few of them bring their wives along for the ride. I, and a few others, are lucky that our wives will come along to share our crazy hobby from time to time. I am not sure that if Carol had a similar hobby that I would be willing to join in as much as she does.

I have often wondered why the above seems to play out so often. This is not a difficult question to answer. Trackchasing is a “long walk for a short slide”. Nevertheless, I love trackchasing. However, if I did not realize the need for a more normal life I would do it even more often than I do. I love it when Carol comes along on a trip. There is a very good chance that she will travel more miles in 2009 than any other trackchaser as she pursues the hobby, other than me. That either shows here commitment to the hobby (probably not) or her commitment to me (hopefully) or that she should be committed (again, probably not). I do my best to make sure she is as comfortable as possible on these trips. However, even my best-laid plans make achieving this objective somewhat difficult at times. Over the next few Trackchaser Reports, you the reader may conclude that trackchasing really is a “long walk for a short slide”. On the other hand, you may say to yourselves, “I might not want to do this, but they sure seem to have fun doing it”.

THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED HAD YOU BEEN PAYING MORE ATTENTION IN SCHOOL

I will maintain my policy of affording anonymity to readers who send in interesting bits of information or who provide cutting edge analysis.

FROM THE BEST READERS IN RACING OR FROM OTHER PLACES!

Often racing oriented websites provide coverage of the trackchasing hobby. Just this past week, I received a radio interview request from a station in the southeast, a media credentials pass from a track in a foreign country, a stock car ride in a celebrity/media event in Wisconsin and coverage from a website in Canada. Of course, the Canadian website coverage was in French. Here’s how the story read in French from www.360nitro.com. I have also translated the text from French to English using one of my web-based foreign language translation programs. These programs don’t translate things perfectly but they do it well enough and quick enough, to make the process productive.

From up in Canada somewhere!

The French Version

Pour la plupart des amateurs, avoir visite de 10 a 15 pistes au cours de leur vie sera un bel accomplissement.

Imaginez 1400!

Randy Lewis de San Clemente en Californie est le meneur a ce chapitre; il a visite des pistes un peu partout a travers le monde, assui loin qu’en Australie! J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer M. Lewis lors de sa visite a l’Autodrome Edelweiss en 2007. Un bonhomme tres sympathique, qui adore explorer le monde des courses en compagnnie de sa femme. Etant a la retraite, cela lui permet de visiter encore plus de pistes. En 2008, il visite pas moins de 102 pistes!

Il y a 7 personnes, tous des Americains, qui font partie du groupe select de 1000 pistes visitees en carrier. Le premier Canadien vient au 45e echelon, Don McAuley avec 236 pistes. Notre collegue et photographe, Rick Your, trone au 53e rang avec un total de 172 visites. M. Young m’expliquait pour qu’une piste soit consideree comme visite, il doit y avoir un evenement qui a lieu a cette piste.

Quelques figures connues font partie de cette listte: Ken Schrader avec 373 pistes, Sammy Swindell avec 280 et Steve Kinser avec 265 pistes. Probablement que plusieurs autres pilotes feraient partie dans cette liste, mais ceux-ci n’ont past comptabilise leurs visites.

J’ai fait le tour des collaborateurs de 360nitro.com. C’est Steve Bertrand qui vient en tete avec 28, Marc Terrier avec 21, Josee Poisson avec 29, moi avec 17, Fannie Brouillette avec 12 et Steve Brillant avec 8; ils font partie des mes colleques qui m’ont fair part de leurs visites.

Donc, que vous ayez visite 1 ou 1,400 pisties dans votre vie, l’important, c’est que lors de cette visite en particulier, vous avez aime votre sejour! Si vous voulez en connaitre plus sur les chasseurs de pistes, je vous invite a visiter le site web: www.trachasher.net

Translation – French to English

For most fans, having visited 10 to 15 runs during their life will be a great accomplishment.

Imagine 1400!

Randy Lewis of San Clemente, California is the leader in the area and has visited tracks all over the world, as far afield as Australia! I was fortunate to meet Mr. Lewis during his visit to the Autodrome Edelweiss in 2007. A very nice guy who loves to explore the world of racing with his wife. As for retirement, it allows him to visit even more track. In 2008, he visited no fewer than 102 tracks!

There are 7 people, all Americans, who are part of a select group of 1,000 tracks visited career. The first is the 45^th Canadian level, Don McAuley with 236 runs. Our colleague and photographer, Rick Young, stands in 53^rd place with a total of 172 hits. Mr. Young m’expliquait to track a visit is considered, there must be an event that takes place at the track.

Some figures are known on this list: Ken Schrader with 373 runs, with Sammy Swindell and Steve Kinser 280 and 265 runs. Probably several other drivers would be included in this list, but they have not recorded their visits.

This resolves the 360nitro.com employees. Steve Bertrand ranks first with 28, with 21 Marc Terrier, Josee Poisson with 20, 17 with me, Fannie Brouillette with 12 and Steve Brillant with 8; they are part of my colleagues told me about their visits.

So you have visited 1 or 1400 tracks in your life, the important thing is that during this visit in particular, you enjoyed your stay! If you want to know more about hunters tracks, I invited you to visit the website: www.trackchaser.net

My next report will give you the details of my Wisconsin racing adventure from the invitation below.

From time to time, I am invited to drive at the tracks I have visited. I received this message from this past weekend’s ice track visit.

“It was a pleasure to actually talk to you on the Marion Pond Sunday. I love checking your web site to see what you have been up to. One thing though, the full size RWD cars at Marion are non-studded. The mod that you saw, actually runs the RWD Studded class at Tilleda. One more thing, I am trying to put together a “Celebrity” race at Tilleda. I think it would be great to have a “foreign” driver in the field……if you are headed back to the frozen Wisconsin we’d love for you (to) participate.”

SEE THE PHOTOS; ENJOY THE PHOTOS

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE

The purpose of technology is not to confuse the brain but to serve the body.

As promised, I will be providing you information about my Apple iPhone is this section of the Trackchaser Report. Of course, my iPhone is a phone. I can make telephone calls with it. However, less than 5% of my iPhone usage goes to making phone calls. With each Trackchaser Report, I will provide 1-2 special uses of the Apple iPhone. Please don’t wait to buy one until I have exhausted my list of what the machine can do. If you did that, you might never get one.

New App review for this RANLAY Racing Trackchaser Report

The “Sit or Squat” app was provided by long-time Trackchaser Report reader Louis Skypala. What does this app do? It provides specific location to where the nearest free public toilet is! And you thought technology might not be for you.

Cumulative list of Apple iPhone capabilities

Multiple “hands-free” communication options

Full email capabilities

“Now Playing” complete movie reviews (Rotten Tomatoes) and show times from local theatres wherever I am. The program even provides the movie trailers for nearly every current movie being offered.

“Around Me” details all major businesses within a mile or so of my current location

“Mobile News” gives me all the major news stories in several categories including Top news stories, local news, sports, show biz, business, politics, travel and many, many more as provided by the Associated Press.

“Currency” gives me up to the minute conversion rates on all major currencies in the world.

“Google” works just like Google on your computer except on the iPhone it is voice activated. I ask the question and it directs me to where I can find the answer on the World Wide Web.

“Sit or Squat” provides the nearest location of free public toilets wherever you might be at the moment.

WE WOKE UP VERY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA. FIRST, WE FLEW INTO KANSAS CITY AND THEN WE DROVE TO SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. THIS IS WHAT TRANSPIRED DURING DAY 1 OF THE “WE’RE BACK” TRACKCHASING TOUR.

What you are about to read is based upon a true story. Heck, I’m hearing some of this stuff for the first time myself!

THE OBJECTIVE, THE TRIP AND THE PEOPLE…AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

The Objective

Most trips have multiple objectives. This one did too.

There were so many things I planned to accomplish with this trip. Given that it’s February, trying to achieve so many objectives in the hobby of trackchasing is quite surprising. Here are the main items that would be checked off during this nine-day trip.

1) Carol would add to her trackchasing totals by as many as four new tracks. This would move her past NASCAR’s Kenny Schrader in the worldwide standings. She and that pesky Schrader have been having a major battle in the standings for years.

2) I would be resuming my racing career. Yes, for the first time I would be driving in North America as a follow-up to my European race driving experience.

3) Carol and I would be able to visit family in Illinois. Later in the trip, I would be able to visit family in Florida.

4) During the latter portion of this trip, I would see racing in my 25^th lifetime trackchasing country.

5) Despite having seen 1,406 lifetime tracks, I might add as many as four new tracks on this trip.

This trip covered such a wide spectrum of objectives. Carol and I would each add several tracks. We would see family. Finally, I would advance one-step closer to the coveted and rarified level of 30 total trackchasing countries. Of course, all of this was predicated on my transportation systems working and the weather cooperating. And with that,….we were off.

The Trip

No one has ever trackchased in this territory before.

No one in the world has ever trackchased at more than 1,400 tracks but me. That being the case we don’t exactly know how this many tracks is going to impact both the physical and mental aspects of trackchasers who reach this level. It’s sort of like trying to understand the impact of space travel on astronauts……or not.

I’m not sure anyone who hasn’t done it can fully understand the amount of logistical planning that goes into one of these trips.

This trip is planned to include a minimum of 11 airplane flights, four different rental cars and a mixture of hotels, family stays and other unusual sleeping methods. Of course, all of this is done with a firm eye on expense control. This trip’s Excel spreadsheet has more than 75 rows to it. Each row was an individual flight, rental car location or hotel. It’s just what I do.

A last minute quality check turned up an irregularity.

I’ve got to give Carol aka, “Trackchasing’s First Mother” a lot of credit. She is very supportive of my hobby. She’ll go on 8-10 trips a year, maybe more. Her travel, in even this small number of trips, can sometimes surpass the travel of any other trackchaser in the hobby other than me. That’s impressive.

We trackchase at tracks where I have never been. That universe of tracks also means that Carol has never been there. If we’re on the road and there are not any tracks around to add to my totals, we might go to a track that I have been too that Carol has never visited. However, this does not happen often.

The night before we left for our trip, I was reviewing the trip plan. We would start off at an indoor show in Springfield, Missouri. Then a funny feeling came over me. What was I feeling? I looked a little closer at the plan. Hey! I had ALREADY been to the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Springfield, Missouri. I went there just last year. This would not be a new track for me. I don’t know how I overlooked that but I did.

We had already purchased an airline ticket. We would lose money if we canceled or changed our trip. Given the time of the year, there were no other new track opportunities for me to add a new track on a Friday night in February. The Springfield track would still be a new track for Carol. However, there were some extenuating circumstances.

We would have a tough airplane connection following the race in Springfield, Missouri.

Carol and I headed for the airport at 4:45 a.m. on Friday. This would be the first of many unusual wake-up/departure times. The plan was to fly into Kansas City on Friday afternoon. We would then drive 190 miles to Springfield. Following the race, we would stay in Springfield. The next morning (Saturday) our flight left at 6 a.m. (4 a.m. San Clemente time). We would land in Chicago at 7:30 a.m. We hoped to get our rental car quickly and then drive 256 miles up to Tilleda, Wisconsin. At that point, I would jump in a stock car and compete for the very first time in an ice race. Yes, it was a busy schedule…..but it’s what I do.

However, we could change the plan.

A good planner establishes a well-researched agenda. However, when a better idea comes up, a good planner should be smart enough to change. Since I had already seen this track, the travel plan could be changed to make getting from point A (Kansas City) to point B (Tilleda, Wisconsin) a little easier on our aging bodies.

We could eliminate going to Springfield. We could simply catch a flight from Kansas City to Chicago. This would have us bypassing Springfield, Missouri. The bottom-line benefit would be an extra four hours of sleep. The downside was that Carol would not get a new track.

I left the decision up to her. Would she rather drive an extra 200 miles and see a new track…..or would she like for the trip to be a little bit easier and get four hours more sleep. She wasn’t sure which way to go. We decided to let “God” or fate shape our destiny.

The flight from Kansas City to Chicago that would be a change from our original plan was overbooked. We might not get on even if we wanted too. Carol decided we should try to get on the flight. If we didn’t make it we would still have time to drive from Kansas City to Springfield for the originally planned race.

After we landed in Kansas City, we moved over to terminal A to see if we could get on the flight to Chicago. It didn’t look good and it wasn’t. We didn’t get on that flight. We took that as “fate” telling us to go to Springfield. I don’t consider this missing a destination with my sponsored airlines since “changed” our destination was only “optional”.

Anyway, that’s how we ended up in Springfield, Missouri tonight. Nothing is ever simple and this trip was just beginning to get complicated.

The People

It’s fun to sit in the midst of the local population.

Tonight we watched the races amongst a very loyal and local group of Missourians.

RACE REVIEW

OZARK EMPIRE FAIRGOUNDS, SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI

Latitude: 37.2555 Longitude: -93.3019

Tonight’s program wasn’t much different than the one I saw last year on February 1. If you would like to read my review of that race, simply go to www.ranlayracing.com and click on “Trackchaser Reports” and then go to the 2008 section. You’ll be looking for track #1,305.

Tonight’s program was indoors. Shockingly, the temperature when we arrived into Springfield at 5 p.m. was 69 degrees! This made the temperature inside tonight’s building very comfortable. It was nearly room temperature all evening.

However, the air quality was not very good. I suspect it was barely above legal standards. There was very much a local crowd on hand of some 500 people or so. Carol guessed about 400-500. They were entertained with a long series of races by motorcycles on the oval and a motocross track as well as a few classes of racing lawn mowers. There were also several kids’ classes of winged midgets. The only countable class that we saw (out of about 20 or so) were the 500 cc winged outlaw midgets (karts). There were just seven of them.

I never would have thought I would be back for these races. But then, one never knows what’s going to happen in life do they. I was happy to see Carol get track #372. This is going to be a challenging logistical trip for both Carol and me. We have some very early wake-up calls, long drives and long flights. Tomorrow morning the alarm will go off at 4 a.m. Central time (2 a.m. San Clemente time). If we make our flight, we will drive a little more than 1,000 miles in the next 36 hours. That’s moving down the road.

STATE COMPARISONS

Missouri

This evening Carol saw her 7^th track in the “Show Me” state. This moves her into a tie with Norm Wagner for 27^th spot. Ed Esser leads in Missouri with 64 tracks.

RENTAL CAR UPDATE

Kansas City, MO – Friday/Saturday

We will be driving the National Rental Car Racing Chevy Malibu on this trip. Carol and I ended up driving the car 226 miles in the 18 hours we had it. This was a one-way rental. Whenever, I have a rental car that I will pick up in one place and drop in another, I use a National Rental Car “free” day. One-way rentals can be very expensive. It’s not unusual for the daily charge for a one-way rental to be $75 or more. By using a “free” day, I only pay the applicable taxes. Today’s car cost just $10.94 and all of that was taxes.

I paid an average price of $1.73 per gallon. The Chevy gave me 31.0 miles per gallon fuel mileage at a cost of 5.8 cents per mile. The car cost 4.8 cents per mile to rent, all taxes included.

Coming soon!

How do fellow P&G retirees really think?

I have some really big news set to break by March 15, 2009 or so. Despite frequent questions, I can’t tell you what this is about until the appointed date.

Why I fear Ed Esser.

Thanks for reading about my trackchasing,

Randy Lewis

2008 ANNUAL NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY RESULTS

The National Geographical Diversity contest has been in existence since 2003. There are two separate NGD categories. The first is the annual results and the second category is the lifetime results category. Folks eagerly anticipate the publishing of these comparisons. Today I will review the 2008 lifetime NGD results.

As a quick review, trackchasers earn points in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Trackchasers who rank in a state’s top 10 get the amount of points equal to their ranking. When a trackchaser ranks first in a state, he/she gets one NGD point. Finish seventh and the score received is seven points. However, if a trackchaser finishes outside of the state’s top ten, the score is 15 points. This higher score is designed to penalize or simply make someone feel bad for being such a poor performer. Of course, the trackchaser with the lowest overall average score (from 51 scoring locations) is the winner.

The lifetime NGD results have been around since 2003. Coming into this year, the previous lifetime winners were:

2003 – Allan Brown

2004 – Gordon Killian

2005 – Gordon Killian

2006 – Gordon Killian

2007 – Randy Lewis

The results come directly from the trackchasers themselves. Everything is on the honor system. If a trackchaser reports his track, or it is reported for him, the unofficial trackchaser commissioner accumulates the totals at www.autoracingrecords.com. He is a “wholesaler” of sorts.

I have maintained for several years that the “Lifetime National Geographic Diversity” award is the most prestigious of any trackchasing ranking/comparison in the United States. What could top it? This comparison focuses not only on the quantity of tracks a chaser has seen in the U.S. but on the breadth of trackchasing coverage over the entire 50 states and the District of Columbia.

This year’s winners (and their lifetime NGD scores) are :

Men’s Division – Gordon Killian – 5.96

Women’s Division – Pat Eckel – 12.27

Gordon came on strong at the end of the year to nip yours truly by just .06 NGD points. That’s only three state position points spread over 50 states and D.C. Although Gordon does not hold a single first place ranking in any of the 51 categories, he ranks outside the top 10 in just three states. On the other hand, I have a #1 ranking in twelve different states. I also have a worse than 10^th place finish in ten states. It is those ten states that provide a cumulative 50-point penalty for me. It will be difficult for me to regain the #1 lifetime NGD ranking since I can’t improve in the 12 states I already lead and can’t move up much in the ten states where I rank worse than tenth because of the predominance of East coast blockers. Nevertheless, I never give up and we’ll see what happens next year.

Pat Eckel, the women’s winner with a score of 12.27 edged out two fellow (so to speak) competitors. Nancy Brown finished with a 12.37 score and Carol Lewis wrapped up her season with a 12.67 score. The results were very close in the woman’s division just as they were in the men’s division.

One of the real benefits of the NGD rankings is that it gives recognition to people who don’t normally get much of that each year. Complete results of this year’s lifetime NGD contest can be viewed at www.ranlayracng.com. There is no other place on the worldwide web where trackchasing’s state leaders can be seen on a screen or two.

These are the top 10 lifetime NGD performers through 2008:

Gordon Killian – Sinking Springs, Pennsylvania – 5.96

Randy Lewis – San Clemente, California – 6.02

Allan Brown, Comstock Park, Michigan – 7.98

Ed Esser – Madison, Wisconsin – 8.33

Guy Smith – Effort, Pennsylvania – 9.16

Rick Schneider – Bay Shore, New York – 9.33

Andy Sivi – Clairton, Pennsylvania – 9.59

Jack Erdmann – DePere, Wisconsin – 10.61

John Moore – Knoxville, Tennessee – 10.76

Will White – Quakertown, Pennsylvania – 11.90

There are 46 trackchasers who have ever recorded a lifetime top 10 finish in an American state. Those 46 trackchasers have seen an incredible 25,283 tracks. That’s an average of more than 500 tracks per trackchaser.

Here’s a list of the top trackchasing states that have had more than 1,000 visits:

Pennsylvania – 2,736

New York – 2,192

Indiana – 1,693

Ohio – 1,635

Michigan – 1,352

Illinois – 1,219

Florida – 1,139

Wisconsin – 1,097

California – 1,054

On the other hand, some areas of our country have seen very little of our trackchasers. These states have had fewer than 100 cumulative trackchasing visits:

District of Columbia - 14

Hawaii - 28

Rhode Island - 31

Alaska – 42

Utah - 47

Idaho – 50

Wyoming - 55

Montana – 63

New Mexico - 68

Louisiana – 81

Due to the extreme economic conditions most of the United States and the world is experiencing, there will be no physical awards for NGD winners. While some folks are struggling, we don’t want to “materialize” the contest to an unreasonable level.

The data was analyzed by the National Geographic Diversity Institute in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. All results are final. If you find an error, take it up with them.
