              First racetrack. St.Charles Mo. in like 1967
              Last track…I55
              Favorite….Fairbury. Not even debatable.
              Bucket List….Cedar Lake
              Favorite driver. Purvis. He was something else.
              Best food. Lucas Oil Speedway
              Best drink at a track? Well up until a week or so ago…bottle of Bud. But no way I’ll be doing that now.
              Favorite annual….Tie between World and PDC
              Best bathrooms….easy?.Lucas… our house is clean…but those toilets aren’t far behind. Very nice.
              Favorite track size….a big 1/4. Or small 3/8.
              Best memory…my first race. I was 7. My parents took me…it was like mainlining heroin. I was lit.
              Best lighting….hard to beat Eldora. Im sure there are others.
              Best racing all around…I can’t see anyone topping Fairbury. Rarely is that place a flop.
              Best atmosphere….PDC….but the World isn’t far behind.
              Best dirt. Central Illinois…or Iowa.
              Best pit area. Lucas. All concrete with power hookups.
              Worst track for the amount of money spent…easy…Lucas. Super nice facility…the racing isn’t worth the drive normally.
              Track I miss most….our little BF cornfield home track…St.Charles Speedway. (Missouri)
