Due to work obligations it's nearly impossible for us to attend in October. The one time we've been lucky enough to attend the October race it was a festive atmosphere in the parking lot all afternoon prior to the racing action. Much like tailgating at a college football game and the farmer was harvesting soybeans in the field adjacent to the track property which added to the overall country ambiance.
To all of you who are fortunate to attend this year, have a great time and pack the stands so this event goes on well into the future.

As I recall from my one and only trip to the "Leffler," it doesn't take too many bodies to "pack the stands," so get there early and stake out your territory.
