I think you are referring to Mel Botkin back in 2014? I know another problem he had which was completely out of his control was the weather that late Spring/early Summer. If it could rain on any given day, it would rain on Friday at Gas City. The luck was incredible. All bad. The guy couldn't get a break.
When he pulled the plug mid way through the year, wasn't there a story about how he even took all of the food from the concession stands, too?
