The Boone Speedway is surrounded by grandstands and catwalks. Both are packed with race fans come Saturday night.

When we are not given a drivers hometown, they are from Deadhorse, Alaska. This actually started during a web cast at East Bay Raceway Park (Tampa, FL area) in 2002.

DRINKING HELMET:
A term used to describe someone who might partake in too much post-race beverages. Soo many beverages, that they might fall down and hurt themselves. They could use a drinking helmet to protect themselves.

FARMING (SESSION):
No where else will you find a farming session like what the Boone Speedway does every ten races. They tear the track up, put water into it, pack it down. The amazing thing is that it only takes 20 minutes to complete the entire process.

MUDBOGGING: Or sometimes refered to as Mudboggers
There is always a big pond of water or mud somewhere in Trailer City. Usually someone not wearing their drinking helmet will try to cross this vast body of water/mud. This mudbogging. Mudbogging will always generate an instant crowd. With out fail, an individual will get stuck in the middle of the mud pit.

PB&J (Heat Race): Also know as a Peanut, Butter, and Jelly Heat Race.
A phrase we use to describe a huge lead by a driver. He's cruising and has time to stop and make a PB&J, and the driver could still win the race after do so.

PITBOARD:
We try to give a run down of the running order every four to five laps for all races. This is what we call our Pitboard.

SLOBBERKNOCKER:
Five or more cars wrecking. Most had nowhere to go - like that seen with NASCAR at Daytona and Talladega (the big one).

SPIT THE BIT:
Just like when a horse spits out his bit and quits moving, this is when a motor blows up - no more horsepower.

TIKI HUT:
The North Iowa Tiki Hut is regular stop for the RaceRPM.com Crew after the races. Located in Trailer City, several Trailer City residents make a stop at the Tiki Hut. They really know how to throw a party there, and their special Tiki Hut brew is a popular beverage consumed by many during the IMCA Super Nationals.

Vetter is the IMCA Western Region Director. He has helped us get to know the Western Invaders, and has helped us when we web casted the IMCA Duel in the Desert at LVMS. Vetter joins us from time-to-time on the web cast to talk about those drivers. He is never at a loss for words. What else can we say about Vetter besides he's Paul "freakin'" Vetter. Love ya, Vetter.

WESTERN INVADERS:
Over our seven years of coverage of the IMCA Super Nationals (two years of limited live updates and the last 4 years of web casting), we continue to see an increase of drivers from the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones coming to Boone, IA. These drivers we call the Western Invaders.
