Most everyone visiting this site loves racing. Some of us are more fortunate that others and get to go to a lot more races.

I was at the race track 104 times in 2012.

Even I find that almost ridiculous. I do work a full time job, so there were a lot of nights with little sleep for those weekday shows...

So lets hear what your number is...

At least 25.

Would be interesting to also know what local tracks were attended in 2012 along with the approximate number of times for each track.
 
If I had to guess, I'd say around 30-40. I barely missed a night that Belleville was running, Highland pretty consistently until the fair races, I-55 and Tri-City a handful of times, also made it to Brownstown, Paducah, and Macon. I went on vacation during SNs or it would have been more.

Races I hope to cross off my list this year: Prairie Dirt Classic and Knoxville Nationals
 
30 or so...tri city,highland,i-55,jacksonville,macon,belleville,brownstown and farmer city i believe...hope to hit alot more big shows this year!!!
 
I raced 22 nights at Tri-City, Fayette Co, Highland, Jacksonville, Montgomery Co, and Clay Co. I also went to watch a couple nights.
 
I went i think a total of 5 or 6 times compared to about 30-40 in recent years. Maybe if these tracks would grow some balls n tech the cheaters in over 75% of each class id be a little more interested. I only go to big shows now bc atleast there I know pretty much everyone is cheating.

I raced 39 nights total belle-Clair and i55 and one night at tri state and one at tri city
 
I made it to the track as a spectator 25 times this year.

9 times at SFCR (Farmington, MO), 4 times at XX Speedway (California, MO), twice at Tri-City Speedway, and once each at Belle-Clair, Clay County*, Fayette County*, Highland*, Lucas Oil Speedway* (Wheatland, MO), Montgomery County, Quincy*, Southern IL Center* (Du Quoin), Spoon River*, and Springfield Raceway. The tracks with asterisks were new tracks for me this year.

Can't wait for the '13 season to get started.

25-30 for me as a fan. Would have been a few more except for heat cancels. All local tracks, BC/TRI FRI, Pevely SAT, Highland only once for SN. It's furthest from me & like to sit low, close to track & stands too far away for my liking @ Highland.Beside love the display board @ Federated, wish TRI could get theirs to work.
 
I55 - 4, Tri City, 2, Quincy 2, Brownstown Ind - 1, Springfield Mo - 15, Wheatland - 17,
West Plains - 6, Batesville - 2, Lernervile Pa - 1, Midway Lebanon Mo - 12, Knoxville Ia - 2, Columbus Ms - 2, so I guess 66 races at 12 tarcks
 
Roughly 35. Made all but three at Belleville and about the same at pevely and made granite city four times. Tough to travel more than that
