In this depressed economy, I think we'll see more and more innovative ways to separate race fans and other event goers from their $$. The Vigo Co (Terre Haute) Fair Board and their $10 fee to park a RV and now this nonsense. I realize the track operators have no control of such situations, but there are opportunists everywhere. Sort of like going to Wal-Mart on Saturday morning where organizations have found it's easier to teach kids to beg rather than work for their needs. What's next? The town of Clear Creek making Fairfax a toll road on Friday? The owner of
the property next to the railroad at Kokomo putting parking meters in for Sunday? A toll gate on old 67 in Paragon?
