    All those tracks you were at in a 'previous life' can't count in your poll.
    Don't you wish you had all those gate fees back, so you could buy your own track??....LOL

                  Boneman, I see you have been to the track I owned on your list. Hobe Sound. What years did you run there? Was it dirt or asphault? And did you ever here a kid called "The Whizz Kid"? And the track in ZephyrHills, was that Dirt Devels?

                  Frasson, You got a good list going there. But you got a few more tracks to go to top Ken Schrader, 310 tracks.

                  Dustin has always been impressed with Ken's list. That is why he started his list. He is just 17. I'm sure he has been to well over 50 track. When he gets home from the speedway today I will try to get his list and post it.

                    Mr. South, I ran Hobe Sound a grand total of one time. I was in a Star Champ. It was probably 1999.

                    Zephyrhills is a 1/4 mile dirt track where the antiques run. It is much more than pace laps, but for most cars it is also something less than a b*lls to the wall race.

                      Hobe Sound

                      Mr South did you have the track at the beginning?
                      I went to one of the first races held there probably late seventies and I brought a twin engined kart as did Scott Shinn and the two of us proceded to convert the fresh uncured asphalt back to dirt. This was the only time I ever "tore the track up".

                              McAlister... just guessing here on the Arizona dates:

                              I would guess Tucson Raceway Park would be around 1983 or 84, and Phoenix Int'l. around '91 or '92.

                              Some nice lists here. There are a few fans out there that have over 1000 different tracks they've been to. I'll be lucky to ever break 100. Getting to new tracks from Central Florida is a tough challenge.
