Thanks for all the well thought out replies to Kevin Eyre's "How Many Speedways Have You Been To" question.  I had never given it much thought, but it was kind of cool to sit down and llist them out...  Lots of good memories, and a little sad when you think of how many are no longer in operation.

As a follow up to the track count post, here's a part 2 question for those who want to continue the discussion:

1.  Name a track that is currently open/in operation that you haven't gotten to yet, that you would like to get to see a race at.  ___________________

2.  Name a track that is currently open/in operation that you have been to, that you really would like to get back to see at least another event at. _____________________________

 

I'll go ahead and answer by saying:

1.  Never been to Knoxville, but would like to go.

2.  Would like to get back for at least one more Indy 500.

Knoxville. The one time I was there the track was under 6 inches of ice and snow. Oswego. Must be an asphalt deal. Spa-Francorchamps. I always look forward to the Belgian Grand Prix. Watkins Glen. Port Royal. I have seen races there but it's been 35 years and its very different now so it's back on my list

1) This one is tough to pick just 1. I would say for me it would be to make a trip to California and get some some of the sprint car tracks. (Perris, Ventura, Stockton,etc.) PS: Now that I'm retired and living in North Carolina it opens up a multitude of tracks I can add down here.

2) I achieved this recently with my most recent trip out to Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. I went to the Knoxville Nationals in 1989 and attended this year with my son. Knoxville Nats. is a must. The Museum, meeting folks from other states and the atmosphere. Where else would you go to a Walmart and fine NOS WoO drivers signing autographs, selling Knoxville tee shirts and teams working on their hot rods in the parking lot + The Dingus.

You need to hit Bowman Gray of course but I think their season ended this past Saturday. Tri-County just north of Hickory is a beautiful little asphalt track. Been there twice and left feeling I got my moneys worth both times. I've seen a few special shows at Hickory and enjoyed them. I cannot comment on a regular show there. You're near 311 which is a pretty decent dirt track although they went thru a rough patch with a previous promoter so I don't know if they've recovered from his unforced errors. Friendship has been "Internet Famous" the past week or so and shut down for the rest of 2022 but I assume will be back next year. I like that track too.

Thanks Kevin,

Appreciate the info. I'm planning on going to Tri County this year for a scheduled SMART modified race in October. This would be a new track for me. I also plan on going to the Hickory SMART tour race in October as well. I went to Hickory many years ago and look forward to going back. I hit Friendship a few years ago when I came down for the intial ROVAL cup race at CMS. I know 311 has some trouble right know, not sure if anything is gonna happen this year. I'm gonna see what happens. Hopefully some shows will happen in the future. Thanks again, Jim Bob

I arrived in Monaco 1 day after the GP, the entire country smelled like a tire factory.

1. I have never been to Port Royal and would like to see one of the touring super late model races there.

2. I would like to return to Big Diamond again. There is something about these "need a little work" type race tracks (Grandview is one also) that I find interesting. The racing is always good and the fans are die-hard racing enthusiasts.

Knoxville with Roger Laureno!

 Brewerton. Went a few times during Super dirt week, never a stand alone show.

 Bowman Gray, just to appreciate how healthy asphalt can be.

Would like to get to : Can Am Speedway in Larfargeville NY. I remember seeing a couple episodes of "This Week on Dirt" that were broadcast from there and i remember being intrigued by how "professional" it seemed and how fast the cars appeared to be going there. Granted, it may be a run down shack by now, but i'd still like to go check it out.

Would like to return: All Tech Speedway in Lake City FL. - Enjoyed the races on a well prepared track that had great sight lines with cheap beer and food. Will attempt to return this year if Deyo does his Feb. jaunt to FL.

Currently operating:Knoxville. It was originally a tie between Knoxville and Indy, but it sounds like I'm finally going to Indy next year.

Returning track: Selinsgrove. Ironically, we raced there many times, but since Bob Beidleman stopped racing it's not the same going there. I'm sure I'll get back.
