From the travels and adventures of the
“World’s #1 Trackchaser”
Bennett’s Raceway Dirt oval Lifetime Track #2,621 THE EVENT Editor’s note: Every racing fan seems to like their form of racing. As I travel about the country I notice that ALL racers take their racing seriously. If you like one kind of racing you still might like to watch another form of racing right? If that is the case you won’t want to miss the racing from a homemade farm track, Bennett’s Raceway in Neenah, Wisconsin in today’s Trackchaser Report. I AM A TRACKCHASER. Are you new to the hobby of trackchasing? If so, let me give you just a little bit of background. Before I go any further I will tell you that a lot of people get pretty enthused about what I’ve been doing with trackchasing. I will offer this warning. If you try it yourself it could become addictive. My name is Randy Lewis (above with the legendary Johhny Landers race promoter at the Boss Dirt Track Speedway in Lawton, Oklahoma). I hail from the sleepy little village by the sea, San Clemente, California. I am a “trackchaser”. I trackchase. Have you ever in your life heard of “trackchasing”? I didn’t think so. Trackchasing is a “collecting” hobby. Trackchasing is a “counting” hobby. It’s really not all that much different than when you were a kid and you collected stamps or beer cans or bottle caps. Trackchasing is all about visiting new auto racing tracks for the very first time. Believe it or not, trackchasing has “rules“ as to what kind of racetrack and race car and race driver count toward your lifetime totals and which ones would not. I’ll try to oversimplify the rules situation for you. Trackchasers are allowed to count racing cars and trucks that compete on oval, road course and Figure 8 configurations. Any class that is racing, in order to count, must be open to racers 18 years of age or older. This means that trackchasers cannot count racing down exclusively by kids. There are also various motorsports events and classes of cars that do not count. Trackchasers do not count drag racing, demolition derbies, motorcycle racing or boat racing. Just cars and trucks on ovals, road course and figure 8 tracks. Trackchasing does not allow the counting of flat go-kart racing either. Before the hair on the back of your neck starts to stand straight up as you think one or more of these rules are just preposterous let me explain. First, I didn’t set up these rules. I only count by them. The rules were set up in the 1990s by a group of white men who primarily hung out in Pennsylvania. I don’t know that any of them had ever seen any racing on a road course or figure 8 track or maybe even a drag race, with a few exceptions, when the rules were established. There is one good thing about having a common set of rules. It allows each trackchaser to compare his or her list to the next trackchaser. Trackchasers like to do that. For me, I need three things in order to make my hobby hunt. First, I need a race date. Then I need good weather because folks in the U.S. often cancel racing events when it rains. Finally, I need a way to get to the track. I live in Southern California. The lion’s share of racing events in the United States are located in the Midwest and east. I trackchase just a little bit differently than my fellow competitors. For me, there are three essential elements to the enjoyment of trackchasing. First, I like to see auto racing. I prefer to see racing on what we call “short tracks” more so than a visit to Daytona, Indianapolis or Monaco. By the way, I’ve seen racing in each of those three iconic locations. In addition to the racing part of trackchasing for me, I really enjoy seeing the local sights and sounds of whatever area I am visiting. I called these “Trackchasing Tourist Attractions”. If you go to my website at www.randylewis.org and click on the Trackchasing Tourist Attractions tab you’ll see where I’ve been all over the world. Here’s a link to that tab. Trackchasing Tourist Attractions The third and final reason that trackchasing is a lot of fun for me is simply the logistical part of the hobby. I have been retired for nearly 20 years. During that time I have not earned a single dime of work income. That means I have to manage my money pretty closely enable in order to be able to do what I do. Logistically I have to handle seven different categories of trackchasing expenses. Those expenses include airplanes, rental cars, hotels, airport parking, gasoline, food and race tickets. As an example, you can just imagine what traveling from Southern California out to the Midwest for four days of racing would cost. In any given year I will travel well over 200,000 miles. I’ll stay in hotels 150-200 nights a year, rent 50-75 rental cars every year and buy a full tank of fuel about 100 days a year just for trackchasing. After each and every event that I attend I post a YouTube video, a SmugMug photo album and a very detailed Trackchaser Report about the experience. My stories are not just about what happened at the track but about my visit to the area and what exactly it took to make the trip happen. That’s where the racing, the touring and the logistical challenges come from. I told you that trackchasing is a “counting” hobby. Trackchasing is ultra-competitive as well. Lots of people don’t recognize that when they are initially exposed to this hobby. Trackchasing has had all of the political drama, cheating, accusing people of cheating and other aspects of poor personal behavior that any other competitive activity might have. This is why I am NOT a member of any organized trackchasing group. The management of these groups has been so poor over the years these groups are not something I want to be associated with whatsoever. As this is written I have seen racing in 85 different countries at more than 2,630 racetracks. During all this time I have never tried to benefit financially from my hobby. This is despite being interviewed by hundreds of track announcers, newspaper reporters and radio and TV outlets as well as doing a TV pilot. I’m a volunteer. I do this 100% for the fun of it. Because I have seen racing in 85 countries at this point I am considered the World’s #1 Trackchaser. That’s good enough for me. Now I encourage you to drop down a few spaces and read about trackchasing adventure. As you discover what went on today just think about the idea that I’ve done this more than 2,600 times. I don’t mind admitting I am addicted to that hobby of trackchasing. Yes, today’s adventure was one more of the 2,000 trips that have taken me up, down and around the proverbial long and dusty trackchasing trail. If you would like to see where I’ve been and experience those adventures here’s the link: If you’ve got a question, comment or whatever please leave it at the bottom of this report. It’s very easy to do. Or you can visit me on Facebook. Thanks! FOREWORD Wednesday, July 8, 2020. In a way, trackchasing is a pretty simple hobby. I only need three things to make it work. First, I need to be able to confirm that a race is happening. Secondly, I have to figure out how I can get there from my home in Southern California. Finally, once I know that a race is happening and that I can make it to wherever that race is going to be held I just need to confirm the weather is going to cooperate. When all of the above work then I’m off on my next trackchasing visit. This evening I would be trackchasing at the Bennett’s Raceway up in Neenah, Wisconsin. This is what I call a “backyard track”. I’ve been to a few of those, maybe up to 10 in the past. I guess the most famous one was the Backyard Raceway up in Chepachet, Rhode Island. When I went there it was the first time I’ve ever seen a race in Rhode Island. Often times finding these backyard tracks is not easy. They don’t advertise the fact that they race much. There was a track located in a beanfield in Illinois. The track’s name was River Bottom Speedway in Deer Creek. I went there to see a race. After seeing the race, as I always do, I posted a review of the visit as well as a YouTube video. I’m not sure why this track was named “River Bottom”. It was located in a farm field, a bean field. Wouldn’t you know it? A local anti-racing neighbor saw my YouTube video and used it with local government to get the track shut down! I was disappointed in that result. So how did I find out about Bennett’s Raceway? It’s kind of a long sordid story that will expose you to the rancid underbelly of trackchasing’s political hierarchy. I don’t know any way else to put it. A fellow trackchasing competitor by the name of Dale O’Brien, whose home state is Wisconsin, found out about the raceway and came here last year. Dale was rained out but didn’t give up. He came back last week to actually see a race at Bennett’s Raceway. He shared news of his visit in the trackchaser forum. I have only met Dale O’Brien one time. Our meeting was at a race up in North Dakota. I’m going to guess that was 15-20 years ago or so. I only had a chance to talk with Dale for a short time but he seemed like a nice guy. The trackchasing forum was created by, at the time, Trackchasing Commissioner Will White (above). The forum was put in place so that trackchasers could share track information and their trackchasing experiences with everyone else who enjoyed the hobby. The very first person to sign up for Will‘s new creation was California trackchaser Gary Jacob. Gary was really a “racechaser’. He was the best ever “racechaser” I have ever met. There are a lot of people who could give Gary a run for his money in terms of seeing auto racing in general but he was at the top of the list. Sadly Gary died about 10 years ago. Despite Will White hailing from Quakertown, Pennsylvania the first two people to sign up for his trackchaser forum were Gary and then me, both residents of California! After Gary passed away I was the trackchaser with the most trackchasing forum seniority of all. Sadly, I mean really sadly, Will White resigned his position as Trackchasing Commissioner after some dustups, because of the competitiveness of the hobby, with Rick Schneider and Allan Brown. A fellow by the name of Andy Ritter replaced Will White. Andy’s tenure was short-lived. He was pushed out and soon Guy Smith, the creator of trackchasing in the first place was in the position of Trackchasing Commissioner. I hate to say it this way but I couldn’t trust Guy Smith any further than I could throw him. That was a common metaphor when I was growing up. Truth be told I couldn’t throw Guy Smith very far if I tried. Guy Smith often works in the shadows of trackchasing manipulating people in all kinds of ways. One of his favorite manipulations is to get other people to do work that he benefits from. He created a “track census” by asking other people to do most of the research that he wasn’t willing to do. Now those folks tirelessly search the internet for racing information and then give it to Guy as if they were mindless robots. Guy is the father of “trackchasing is not a competition“ and he is the most competitive trackchaser of all. It wasn’t long ago that Guy Smith kicked me out of the Will White initiated and created trackchasing forum. I guess he didn’t want me benefiting from the research of others. It would be worth noting that Guy Smith is a frequent visitor to my website at www.randylewis.org. Why does he go there? He goes there to get new track information for the many tracks that I find for the very first time. How do I know this? I get feedback on the IP addresses that visit my website. So, without Will White’s consent or approval, Guy Smith took the back door initiative to try to block me from getting trackchasing information from the trackchaser forum. However, he must not be the sharpest knife in the drawer. A long time ago, anticipating Mr. Smith’s future actions, I applied for membership in the trackchaser forum under an assumed name and secondary email address. Mr. Smith gleefully accepted my application. Now even though my primary address has been removed from the trackchaser forum I continue to get all the information I need under my assumed email address. Mr. Smith knows the identity of several people in the forum simply by looking at their individual email addresses. However, there are several people that he can’t really connect a name and an email address too. Now each time he allows information to be shared to forum members he will know it’s going to me but he won’t know which email address to block! Trackchasing strategy is a beautiful thing, isn’t it.? So this is how I came to learn about Bennett’s Raceway up in Neenah, Wisconsin. I got that info from Dale O’Brien and the trackchaser forum. Going into the night’s visit I had seen racing at 95 different Wisconsin tracks. I would love to see 100 tracks or more in the Badger State but I am running out of new places to visit. Nevertheless, Bennett’s Raceway was an important addition on my way to seeing those 100 tracks up in Wisconsin. I told you that figuring out how to get from our home in Southern California to whatever track I am visiting is of utmost importance. How was I going to travel from Southern California to Neenah, Wisconsin? Well, it just turned out that Carol and I were already trackchasing in nearby Michigan and Ohio this past weekend. Yesterday, we were driving from Toledo up to Detroit to fly home. We had just completed a very successful race weekend which also included meeting up with our kids and relatives. I told Carol about my new plan. She was a little freaked out! I wasn’t going to be flying back to Los Angeles from Detroit with her. Since I discovered Bennett’s Raceway was racing the following evening I was going to send her back to Los Angeles by herself. I would stay out in the Midwest and find myself in Neenah, Wisconsin on Wednesday evening. They were a couple of logistical chores that needed to be tidied up to make that plan work. When Carol landed at the Los Angeles International Airport she was going to have to go to our parking garage. There she would pick up and drive the EEOC Credit Union sponsored 2020 Tesla Model X automobile some 65 miles in heavy-duty rush-hour traffic back to our house. Just a couple of weeks ago I had taken her out into a large deserted parking lot and let her drive my electric car for the very first time. She was more than hesitant and a little freaked out with the experience. Now without me being with her, she was going to have to figure out how to drive that electric car all the way back home. I knew she could do it. Nevertheless, I reminded her that if anything happened to my car I would be beyond distraught. She understood. I told her to just leave it in the driveway. I am the only one permitted to drive this beast into the garage. With the side mirrors extended there’s about an inch and a half of clearance on each side. While she was doing all of that I hopped on a plane from Detroit over to Minneapolis. I use Priceline.com to get a hotel on Tuesday night. There I prepared for the adventure that would get me to Bennett’s Raceway. It turned out that I would be driving 665 miles round-trip from Minneapolis over to Neenah, Wisconsin and back. That’s a pretty strong commitment to see a backyard track. The final element of a successful trackchasing plan is to have good weather. I would encounter clear weather but hot and humid conditions. The temperature was in the low 90s with humidity to match. At least we weren’t going to have any rain. However, on the drive home I just missed a huge weather system. In advance of making the trip to Bennett’s, I needed to confirm a few details. Sometimes, for whatever reason, tracks cancel at the last minute. I really didn’t need to be driving 665 miles to show up to an empty farm field. First, I was able to get in touch with Braison Bennett who owns and operates Bennett’s Raceway. The track is actually on his property just west of Neenah, Wisconsin. It was also helpful in talking with Sydney Krystowiak. Both of these guys were friendly and helpful with information that I needed to confirm before making a commitment to go to the track. I made the nearly 350-mile one-way drive over to the track without stopping a single time. Racing was scheduled to begin at 5:45 p.m. with qualifications. I drove by the track at about 4 p.m. just to make sure I knew where it was located. Then I headed off to the nearest A&W outlet for a chili cheese dog and some cheese curds. This is what people do when in Wisconsin. Then I drove over to the aptly named Smith Park in Menasha, Wisconsin. There I found some shade to enjoy my Wisconsin culinary delicacies. I did some more research on future track visits for this weekend as well as the rest of the season. Trackchasing is a constant planning process. Soon I was pulling into the parking lot of Bennett’s Raceway. This is definitely an example of “build it and they will come”. I love down-home racing like this. I would rather go to a track like this than the Indianapolis 500. I truly would. It wasn’t long before I was chatting with a local fellow who had pulled up on his UTV. He told me he lived just “over there”. He gave me a little bit of background on Bennett’s Raceway and the track owner Braison Bennett. Braison is a local racer who competes at the Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. He races in the limited late model division. He also races dirt modifieds at places like Gravity Speedway and other locations. His car number is number nine. The fellow I was talking to told me that the derivation of his car number comes from the fact that he is the ninth Bennett family member to race. That’s cool. I was also told that at one of last year‘s fall races they had nearly 40 cars show up to race on the homemade decently banked dirt oval. The track is small. I’m going to guess it might be between 1/8 and 1/10 of a mile in total length. They race for the most part four-door domestic sedans that have been pretty well used up. However, they have just enough left in the cars to compete at the Bennett’s Raceway. Tonight there would be nine racing cars in the field. It wasn’t too long before I met up with Braison Bennett himself. He was a nice guy and told me that he wasn’t really sure if I was going to show up. I get that reaction a lot. You can imagine when I tell a promoter that I’m going to come to their track and I’m going to travel more than 2,000- 3,000 miles from my home in California to do it. Then I tell them what my hobby of trackchasing is all about. I can imagine they might be initially just a little bit skeptical. Braison reminded me a lot of a young Matt Kenseth who also hails from the state of Wisconsin. It was a little surprising to me that Braison might be interested in this kind of racing when he competes at a much higher level at high speeds at the Wisconsin International Raceway. He told me this was just for fun with no prize money and the idea that this kind of racing didn’t cost anything. That made a lot of sense to me. Of course, Braison being a racer offered me a chance to compete in tonight’s program. They had a couple of “house cars” they let sit out at the track permanently. He told me that if I wanted to get in one of those cars they would find me a helmet. Then I would be competing on a professional level myself. How could I turn down an offer like that? It wasn’t long before another fellow who knew about me because I had come to the Wisconsin International Raceway, two or three weeks ago, to see racing. I went there for their roval race event. Kurt Schweitzer helped with the “set-up” in getting the Bennett’s Raceway Ford Taurus #3K house car ready for the track. I was going to need a helmet. Soon a helmet materialized. Would it fit me? It did fit but it was tight. It was so tight that I couldn’t affix the chinstrap. My helper told me that wasn’t a problem. He said, “You’re only going 20 miles an hour”. I think the cars were going a little bit faster than that but I understood his point. The Bennett’s Raceway Ford Racing Taurus #3K house car was going to need just a little extra support to be race ready. No problem. There was a portable electric jump starter that would get the battery going. Soon the car was idling roughly and just about ready to race. At one point I did try to lower the driver’s side electric window. That was a mistake. The juice that it took to lower the left window was more than the battery could handle. The car’s engine died. Soon we had it restarted. I am 6‘3” tall. When I’m wearing a racing helmet I’m about 6‘7” tall. The doors didn’t open all that well on the Ford Taurus. However, I could open the passenger door and reach across the front seat and shove the driver’s side door open. Then I used one of my best yoga moves to bend my neck far enough in so that I could get inside the driver’s seat. I was ready to go. Soon I was out on the track for my time trial. At Bennett’s Raceway each driver gets three laps under the clock. The total time for those three laps is the official time of the night. Braison told me they did it that way because they were using a stopwatch and the accuracy of a hand timing device would be negated over a distance of three laps. I don’t know what my time trail was. I was told I would start at the back of the first heat race of the night. That would put me in fifth place. Now it’s entirely possible, but not very likely, that I had the fast time of the night. Maybe it was just a policy of Bennett’s Raceway that first-time drivers must start at the back. The more likely scenario was I did indeed have the slowest time of the night. That was the reason for starting at the back of the field. I will never know for sure. At Bennett’s Raceway they normally do time trials at about 5:45 p.m. Then depending upon the car count every entrant races in a heat race and then all the cars still running compete in the future. That was the way they did it tonight. They ran two heat races and a feature race. I’m going to tell you that the Bennett Raceway Ford Taurus #3K house car did not have air-conditioning. There was no cooling helmet element in my helmet. On a 93° warm and humid day it was pretty hot in that car. OK, it wasn’t as hot as driving for four hours at the Darlington Raceway on Labor Day but it was hot. Soon we were taking a couple of pace laps to run in the water that had been dumped on the track to keep the dust down by the track’s water truck. This heat race was going to be fun and it was. When the green flag dropped we were off. This was not my first time racing competitively. I have raced about 10 times. Each time I have raced the promoter or track owner has said, “If we gave you a car would you like to race?” and each time that question has been asked of me I have accepted. My first ever racing opportunity was in Turley, England. That was an unusual race. I was driving a Ford with right side steer driving, a left-handed gearshift on the floor with a manual transmission and we raced in a clockwise direction. All the Turley cars, ten of them, started in one line side-by-side from the standing start. I have also raced on the ice a few times in Wisconsin. As a matter of fact, wife Carol (below when she rode in a REAL sprint car race in New Zealand…she’s a spunky little rascal) and I competed in the very same heat race on ice in Badgerland. I know you’d like to see that right? This video clip is only 43 seconds long. I’m driving the yellow car and Carol is in the pink car. I thought she was going to wreck me while I was leading the feature! Here’s the clip. It’s just 43 seconds long. Wife Carol nearly wipes me out while I’m leading the feature race on ice in Tilleda, Wisconsin I guess my crowning glory was racing a mini modified at the Millard County Raceway out in Utah. This was a celebrity race for 10 laps, broadcast over computer TV. I ended up winning the feature race. Here’s a link to the YouTube video that summarizes my lifetime personal best racing achievement. Don’t believe this happened? Ask WISSOTA stock car board member Rob Palmer. He will confirm every last detail because he watched the race from the comfort of his own home in South Dakota. My first ever feature race win…this time on dirt! Tonight when the green flag dropped I simply wanted to complete the race. I wanted to get my laps in. I was driving someone else’s equipment and certainly didn’t want to wreck it even though it was pretty much a wreck before I started. I guess the best thing I could say was that I didn’t get lapped. I had fun and that was the whole point. I had someone get a little bit of video action of the race. Then I got my picture taken with the car afterward. The video and the picture will be with me forever. I was invited to start in the nine-car feature race but decided that I had already had my fun. I would love to get some good video clips of the feature race. In order to do that I couldn’t be racing. I stood down by turn one and captured all of the action. You’re not going to want to miss my YouTube video. It includes the feature race action and footage of my heat race driving as well. It was actually a welcome sign when the races ended just about an hour after they had started. I had a 4-5 hour drive back to Minneapolis. Getting an early start was a great idea. I thanked Braison and Kurt for their hospitality. I even was able to get the heads up on another new track opportunity that’s going to exist in the general area. When that happens I’ll be sharing it on my website at www.randylewis.org. Then when Guy Smith goes to my website looking for new track information he’ll be able to find out about that new track! As I was heading back to my car one of the guys yelled my name and lifted a can of beer and asked, “One for the road?” Of course, this reminded me that I truly was in Wisconsin. I declined the offer but appreciated it more than ever. I’ve seen all kinds of racing from the Daytona 500 to the Indianapolis 500 to the historic Monaco Grand Prix. Truth be told coming to a place like Bennett’s Raceway is just as much fun as virtually any track I have visited in what is now a trackchasing total of 2,621 tracks and 85 countries. This was an outstanding trackchasing adventure. I thank Dale O’Brien for turning me onto this via the trackchasing forum. On the drive up to Neenah, Wisconsin this afternoon I noticed I was passing the small 437-person town of Rudolph, Wisconsin. Rudolph is a special place. Rudolph was where the legendary Dick Trickle, Wisconsin’s all time most popular driver, come from. I had heard that Rudolph had constructed a statue of Dick Trickle in the town. Since I was so close by and since I was a lifetime Dick Trickle fan I could not pass that up. I didn’t know how far visiting Rudolph would take me out of the way on the drive back to Minneapolis. I didn’t really care. I was going to see the Dick Trickle statue. For me, this was a bucket list item. I figured with Rudolph, Wisconsin being such a small town that I could just drive into the center of town and I would find the statue. Wrong! However, I did find a fellow standing outside of one of the Rudolph bars. He gave me good directions to the local park where the museum and display resides. It was going to be dark soon. Nevertheless, there was enough light for me to very much enjoy myself seeing that the large life-sized statue of Dick Trickle and several permanent outdoor photographs of Dick in his cars as he raced over the years. You are not going to want to miss this. You’ll be able to find the photos in my Trackchaser Report and also in my Hall of Fame‘s/Museums section of my website. Big-time drivers like Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin credit Dick Trickle with being their stock car racing mentor and hero. When visiting NASCAR stars like Dale Earnhardt, Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Alison and others would come to local race tracks in the Midwest to compete in mid-week shows there was no way they could out run Dick Trickle. I had the chance to meet Dick a couple of times. Above we are talking after the indoor ASA race at the Pontiac Silverdome. Dick Trickle always took time for his fans. If Dick Trickle had come to NASCAR early in his career, rather than being named NASCAR’s rookie of the year at age 48, I believe he would have dusted them all. As it was he ended up winning more feature races than any other driver in the world at smaller tracks. I hope that he made a good living once he got to NASCAR as a reward for all of the work that he put into racing up to that point. Dick Trickle was a living legend and had a legion of fans virtually second to none. It was sad to learn about how his life ended but may he rest in peace forever. I needed a way to celebrate the fantastic experiences that I had over at the Bennett’s Raceway and to commemorate my visit to the Dick Trickle memorial. How could that celebration manifest itself? I would stop at the Dairy Queen for a choco-brownie concrete mixer in Wisconsin Rapids. I arrived at just before closing time of 9 p.m. There was no drive-through. This was an old-time Dairy Queen. I stood in line with some local residents and commiserated that yes it was a hot and humid night. From there I tackled the long drive back to Minneapolis. I love driving. The fact that I wouldn’t get to my hotel at MSP until 1 a.m. wasn’t a problem at all. I simply listened to my large library of podcasts and reflected upon what had been a simply outstanding trackchasing and Trackchaser Tourist Attraction day. Good evening from Neenah, Wisconsin. Randy Lewis – 85 countries – 2,621 tracks. Wisconsin The Badger State This evening I saw racing at my 96th lifetime track in the Badger State, yes, the Badger State. I hold the #4 trackchasing ranking in Wisconsin. Wisconsin ranks #8, amongst all the states, in tracks seen for me in the U.S. Thanks for reading about my trackchasing, Randy Lewis World’s #1 Trackchaser Peoria Old Timers Racing Club (P.O.R.C.)
