Easier access when it came time leave, etc. Had no problem parking there last time. Well, when I was there last night, I parked in the same spot. I wasn't there a minute before a truck came by. A woman in the passenger seat rolled down her window, I'm assuming she was on the Fair board, asked if I was there for the races. I said, "Yes". She said, "You'll need to move to the race track parking lot. This is fairgrounds property." I asked, "Isn't it one in the same?" She said, "No. You need to move or I'll have you towed". I've never came across that before at a fairgrounds track. I just thought it was weird.

I think the neighbors are still a problem. Future neighbors too. I noticed a number of brand new homes being built in a new subdivision right across the street. Only a matter of time.

On the plus side, I thought the racing was great, at least for the sprint cars. Heats were really competitive and the first half of the feature was really exciting.
And they fixed the rock problem
