From the travels and adventures of the “World’s #1 Trackchaser”
All-Time Favorite Utah Track: Wild Bill’s Raceway – Ephraim Current lifetime trackchasing state rank: 1 Best Memories: My trip to the Desert Thunder Raceway in Price was my first ever trip with my new airline sponsorship. I’ve seen four different track configurations at the Miller Motorsports Park, which features the longest (4.8M) road course in North America. I’ve also seen five countable tracks at the Rocky Mountain Raceway in West Valley City. Those Rocky Mountain Raceway visits spanned a timeframe of 31 years and included my first ever double-decker race (above) that I’ve seen in the U.S. My visit to Wild Bill’s Raceway was extra special. The track was very rural and the first I had seen since the passing of my stepfather, also named Bill (above right). When I arrived at the Millard County Raceway in Millard I was in for one of my most special all-time trackchasing memories. The promoter invited me to drive a mini-modified race car in a four-car feature event. I ended up winning. The race was broadcast on internet TV. Buddy Rob Palmer from South Dakota texted saying he saw me win the race on TV! If you see a track link in the above list simply click on it to be transferred to my Trackchaser Report. Here you will be able to read about my adventure at this particular track. Not only will you learn about my time at the track but you’ll hear about all of the interesting people, places and things I encountered during the entire trip, coming and going, to that speedway. Most of my Trackchaser Reports will also include a photo album and YouTube video. Check it all out. Don’t be afraid to use the “search” box in the upper right corner of my website’s home page. Just type in the track name or whatever and you’ll be directed to the place you want to be. Below is a key to surface types and track configurations so you can understand the above list just a little bit easier. Surface types: D-dirt; P-paved; M-mixed Configuration types: O-oval; RC-road course; F8-figure 8 track
