Last night I went to the races at Husets Speedway in Brandon S.D. This is my 42nd season of going to Husets. What's your longest streak?

I've been going to Huset's for 55 years.

Port Royal for 70. I was born in April. Back then if you got there early which we always did you could park off turn four and see from the car. I am sure I wasnt very many weeks old until I was there.

You certainly earned your nickname!

I was born in November so in the spring of '61, I started attending Wilmot.  I don't remember those early nights but as a very young boy, my Dad took me (without my Mom)  He was a corner safety man and if I needed anything, I'd holler out to him for some money.  Great times for 64 years

65 years at Port Royal.

This post is about the longest streak fans have attended a track.

If you can't put up a response without name calling or putting down tracks, refrain from posting here.

Mine was 32 years at Silver Spring Speedway until it closed.   And 21 years at Penn National Speedway until it closed.   I'm afraid to start any new streaks.  

Lots of fans stopped going altogether after the Springs closed.

Come vfisit me sometime so I can punch your rotten teeth out.

Jeepers tenter you are old seriously though Selinsgrove 58 years - Port not often in the early years but last 10 have been the go to place.  However, went to Port enough as a kid to have poor hearing as a result of sitting in those concrete bleachers...my goodness was that loud.

in a time when dirt racing has seen some struggles - Port Royal has been the outlier in that is has improved beyond compare.  One of the few 1/2 miles that produce close racing on a consistent basis.

You and the other bozo keep saying the same BS even though Port has been the best track around Pa for a while now. You should get another act this one is dead to everyone but you two clowns.

Ha! I'm starting to see a pattern here. I've been driving myself to the same track for 42 seasons. I've been going to the races for 53 seasons. It sounds like some of you guys were born at the races.

Born at the races? Well, pretty close here:

South Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron 59 years ago. Mom says I was 2 weeks old. lol. 

My parents started taking me to the supermodified races in San Jose, CA when I was a few weeks old in the late 60's. I'm guessing that would be considered child abuse now :-). I've been going ever since and before my dad passed, we got to travel all over the US watching sprint car, midget, Silver Crown, ISMA Supermodified races, NASCAR, Indy cars, etc. It was our thing. It was awesome. Some guys do golf weekends, or gambling weekends, but my dad and I did racing trips. I miss him.  As far as streaks go, I don't have too many long streaks because here in Northern California they keep closing all the damn tracks!

70 yrs. The Sprint Car Capital of the World.

First race was Langhorne Pa 1970 was less than 6 month old. Been to Indy Daytona and many other national tracks but prefer my central Pa tracks mostly Lincoln and the Grove but been to all of them many times. Really miss Silver Springs,Trailway,Penn National and Reading.

(1991 - present) 34 years at Knoxville. Been to probably 90% of all the sprintcar races. Still look forward to it every weekend

This year would have been the 58th season @ Huset's for me.

Remember the track was closed from 2017 - 2019 (Except for the 1 race held in May, 2017) in which I did not attend.

Me? What have I been saying bad about Port?
