Home track would have to be Lincoln Park Speedway which is only 36 miles from our house. Was Kokomo for quite a few years but with less racing (opportunities) there in the past few years it has become LPS. As far as the race we are most looking forward to in 2024 it would be the USAC Silver Crown/midget doubleheader at the Belleville High Banks.

I moved from Canada to Orange County, CA in late 1989. I was only 45 minutes from Ascot Park, and never missed a race. They closed at the end of the following year, I believe. When I retired and moved to Mesa, AZ in 2007, Manzanita became my home track, also about a 45 minute drive. They closed a couple or so years later. When Arizona Speedway was built, it was only 15 minutes from my home, and I caught all of the bigger sprint shows as well as the Wild West Shootout late model program in January. Now they closed a couple of years ago. Someone told me at ISW a while back, to PLEASE not move to Kokomo.

I try to make all USAC races at Terre Haute. Not as many on the schedule as I would like. Interesting no IRP mentions. Guessing there were many of us back in the Thunder days.

Lincoln, New Oxford, PA. 49 miles, 1 hour exactly. Only missed 1 sprint car show there last year and that's because I was at Port for the USAC show.
