Mid-season race watching review 2006 July 7
On January 20′th I set my 2006 race seeing goals. The main goals were 6 new states, 13 new tracks, and less races then last year (when I saw 48). Since it is now July, I figured I’d see where I am half way through the year. Well, the report is pretty much that I am right on track. I have seen races in three new states (Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana). I am ahead of schedule with new tracks having been to 11 new ones so far and I am below the 48 race pace I set last year (having been to only 17 thus far). A few interesting things that come to mind for me. First is that I’ve seen 17 races at 14 different tracks with only the Chili Bowl being a repeat trip this year, and that I haven’t seen an outdoor race in New Jersey yet this season and the only outdoor track I’ve been to this year that I’ve been to before is Orange County (NY) – a track I haven’t been to in years. My goal of track diversity seems alive and well.
I’m not sure if I’ll make the 6 states I wanted to get too, but I should easily make it to my goal of 150 life-time tracks since I have six months to get two tracks.
