Foxman's 2011 Racing Recap Blog

I began the year with wondering how many races i would be able to attend and the answer was 62 races which was a high for me. I also started the year as a spectator and ended up the year as a public address announcer and writing stories for a speedway and getting the opportunity to do it at Basketbll games during the off season.

My first 6 races of 2011 was Indoor Go Kart Racing with the Thunder Dome and Battle at the Barn races. My first dirt track races were the Frostbusters at Marshalltown, Boone and Vinton.

Some Specials i attend was the Hawkeye Dirt Tour Race at Vinton, Highway 3 Raceway Specials, Races at Iowa Speedway, Stock Car Shootout Races, Harris Clash, Showdown at Mo'Town Kart Races, Iowa State Fair, Super Nationals and Fall Challenge at Oskaloosa
