That makes it a lot easier to "refresh" my memory when it comes to sitting down to write a blog. My race notes on a given night also include a lot of arrows so I know who was running where when everything happens. I, too, struggle to jog the memory without that visual assistance!<br /><br />I've also found it interesting to track the number of readers on blogspot. My Hogan Memorial recap last weekend provided the most number of single-day hits in the three-plus years I've written for Positively Racing. <br /><br />As I've followed the trend of what people read and what people skip, I think I found a potential answer why certain random stories have more hits than others. A weekly event from May of 2010 at Benton County Speedway has been the most "read" story on my blog. I think that's because first-time readers from that event bookmark the page to return for future visits. From there, I think the page views keep adding up.<br /><br />Regardless of the reason, I also want to thank the many readers who have made writing for Positively Racing a blast over the past few years. And, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your team!Ryan Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711981126763962126noreply@blogger.com
