2011 was a busy year. I made 177 passes.

A more typical average is 140 passes per year.

Man do I envy people in the Midwest and East. We dont get enough races to make 170 passes in a year if we win em all

I have totaled mine up yet for last year but I made it to the Semis or better at every race and IF I hit 70 I'd be surprised.

i'd be lucky to get 70 passes in per year & that includes passenger runs. i probably drive further in a car parade than i do for a season at the track.

wow when were hitting it hard back in the late 80s to mid 90s it wasn't uncommon for us to go over 400 rounds a year. we sometimes raced at 2 or more different tracks in a weekend.

I too, had a late start. I made maybe 15. Got out twice. Our tracks are about 2 hours away. First trip to the track was mid august, second was end of september, and the tracks close around here by october.

I didn't really cruise my car much this year either. Time to make it run on pump gas again I think a meth injection kit is in oder for 2012!

Somewhere around 250 this year, I'm not sure. Didn't keep a log book. I made 45 in a single weekend, they add up.

350-400 a year usually. This is starting in Febuary and ending in November. Running two classes. This is just a average not a counted number. Some weekends I'll only put 6-7 passes on a car and once in a while I'll rack up 23 passes in a night of bracket racing like I did in November. Sometimes I'll find a track running on Friday night and go race there and then go race again somewhere else on Saturday.

A more typical average is 140 passes per year.



Looking at past years, it was 144 in 2009 and 146 in 2010.

In 2011 I went to 34 races, that is above average for me. But my runs per race was slightly lower than 2009-2010,

2011: 177/34 = 5.2 Remember that is 2 time trials plus 3.2 rounds
2010: 146/25 = 5.8
2009: 144/26 = 5.5

ABout 20-30 in my old Magnum R/T and 5 track passes in the Charger . Puking a u-joint cap and trashing the trans on the 3rd run didn't help much.

I would have to count but I made easily over 200 hits in goldmember and a lot more in other cars.

had a kind of late start to the year since it took a while to get the kinks worked out before getting it to the track...Made about 45 passes at the track, atleast 50 street passes, and a good 3000+ miles of street driving

Next year I hope to do the same but more track passes
