How many Tracks? |

How many tracks have you been to? It's not too hard to do. Count state by state, than think of the different series you have seen and where? New configurations I count as a new track. Tracks like Bridgeport count as four. I only count if I have seen a race at it or participated at a track. Adding tracks that have a Quarter Midget track, but you did not see a race Quarter Midget race, don't count. I only count tracks that race some type of car or truck (4wheeled) and not motorcycle tracks eg. Englishtown Raceway Park drag strip and Motocross.
Any more rules Frank AJr? Frank's on the shit load of tracks list!
I'm at 102

I need to update my list but I think I'm at 137 different tracks in 21 states and Quebec. It might be closer to 140 That's counting different configurations (dirt to asphalt, road course inside a big oval etc.)
I've worked races at something North of 30 different tracks.
It helps that I've lived in all four corners of the US which provides lots of fertile ground for new tracks. |

Kevin- Guess I'm a light weight. I come up with a total of 26 speedways, in no certain order, that I've been to from 1954 thru the present. From memory, I've been to the original New Egypt Speedway (1/4 asphalt), Old Bridge Speedway, Vineland Speedway, Arneys Mount Speedway, Hightstown Speedway (1/4 asphalt), Atlantic City Speedway, Wall Stadium, Langhorne Speedway (both dirt & asphalt), Trenton Speedway (both 1 mile & 1 1/2 mile), Syacuse, Weedsport, Orange Co Fair Speedway, Flemington Speedway (both dirt & asphalt), East Windsor Speedway, Bridgeport Speedway (both 5/8s & 3/8s), Nazareth (1/2 mile) Speedway, Nazareth (1 1/8 mile) Speedway,Dover Speedway, Rockingham Speedway, New Jersey Motorsports Park, Trenton Arena (midget races) and Grandview Speedway. Hopefully, my math is on point. Scott Ely |

After hitting Island Dragway for the first time a few weeks ago, that only put me at 61 tracks ever. I stay on 'the porch' too much, I guess. |

There are no light weights. Anything over 10 is a lot. Think about it. The travel time alone getting to and from a track. Not many people live within an hour of three or four tracks.
After looking at your list Russ, it rattled my list up to 117. |

Again, you're not lightweights. Think about it, you've been to more race tracks than churches, schools, brothels (Ed), baseball stadiums, etc. |

With the addition of 5 new tracks (Okaloosa, I55 Pevely, English Creek, Lakesidse & Marshalltown) from last week's tour during Knoxville Nationals my track count stands at 195 in 24 different states. Hope to get to 200 by year end. |

51 for me. Tracks in NJ, NY, DE, PA, IA, TN, NC, OK and CA.
Of those, 21 I only went to one time.
And of the 51, 22 are longer operating.

Never gave it much thought before this and would have guessed around 30 or so, but kind of surprised myself with a few more. Using Kevin's guidelines and being kind of generous by counting different configurations on the same grounds as multiple tracks, counting drag strips, and also counting tracks where 1/4 Midgets, or TQ's only, I think I come up with 60: NJ: East Windsor Flemington Dirt Flemington Asphalt Old Bridge New Egypt Asphalt New Egypt Dirt Wall 1/3rd Wall Inner 1/4 Little Wall 1/4 Midgets Bridgeport 5/8 Bridgeport 1/4 Bridgeport 1/3rd (?) current track Millville (ARCA) Trenton 1 Mile Trenton 1.5 Mile Trenton Arena (TQ's) Pleasantville/AC Speedway Englishtown (Drags) Atco (Drags) Sandstone Speedway at Atco (1/4 Midgets) Boardwalk Hall (TQ's) PA: Nazareth 1/2 Nazareth Dirt 1 mile (?) Nazareth (Paved) Indy Car PPL Center (TQ's) Action Track (Kutztown) Grandview Lincoln Selingsgrove Williams Grove Susquahanna/BAPS Penn Can Mahoning Langhorne Shellhamers (Karts) Big Diamond Pocono
NY: Oswego Brewerton Fullton Syracuse Cayuga County 5 Mile Point Albany Saratoga Utica Rome Riverhead OCFS
DE: Georgetown Delaware International Speedway (US 13) Dover Airport (Micros)
FL: Daytona 2.5 Daytona Road Course New Smyrna Barberville (original dirt track) Volusia County (a 2nd smaller track was added at some point) Deland "Dirt Track Classics" (1 Year Tourist Attraction!) Deland Drags (Off of Rt 17) St. Augustines
Indiana: Indianapolis
Nevada: Las Vegas Dirt Track
CT: Waterford Speed Bowl Total: 60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not counted, but maybe worth mentioning: Tracks (Vintage Exhibitions Only) Circle M (Auburn PA) Hinchliffe Stadium (Paterson NJ)
Tracks that I visited while in the area but were not racing at time of my visit: Port Royal PA Seekonk MA Bakersfield CA
Sites of Closed/Former Speedways Visited/Walked: Vineland Atco (asphalt 1/2 mile) Manhawkin Arney's Mt Alcyon (Pitman NJ) Tuckerton |

43 that i came up with off the top of my head, of those, my favorites are Grandview for sentimental reasons, Bridgeport 5/8 for the flat out, balls to the walls, fantastic racing (i miss you old friend), and Penn National due to the sheer talent of the field there and the fact that with probably close to 100 visits there (not an exact figure), i can't recall a snoozer of a race.....ever ! Least Favorite are Oswego as they are trying too hard to reimagine something that simply is not there...too much hype creates too high of a bar to achieve....they don't ! Boardwalk Hall, Allentown indoor venue....racing is simply not good. Pretty much a yellow every other lap...if you're lucky ! Unpopular opinion :Never really enjoyed East Windsor-went many many times and enjoyed the atmosphere, but the racing itself i found to be boring. With it's paperclip shape, the cars flew down the straights, but then almost came to a stop coming into the turns. That third heat was always talent laden though ! |
