Ditto to everything Tim said. Lots of visitors among the locals. During my 3 nights I had two from Miami next to me and they loved it, said it was the best racing they had seen; couple from PA who think nonwing is the way to go; Dick Monahan in front and you know how he feels. I think they will have larger crowds this year with the Northerners who weren't there this year plus more locals. Does anyone know what kind of dirt that was? TimBookmiller's comment about it not being the clay of Indiana was right on, but I'm not sure what it was. Sort of light tan that looks dried out when it is very wet, not sandy like you get in Florida but kind of sticky. Florida swamp clay?
If you didn't go this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next year. Track, people, concessions, clean restrooms, everything first class.
