As a racetrack employee I appreciate this thread. As a racefan I understand it. My favorite person to go to the track with can't go. I'm certain with as many keystone cops issues that went on, my father would still have enjoyed it.

I know you don't have to be book smart to run a business and be involved in racing, and not all of us have had a great education. But if you are going to hold racetracks to the highest degree of perfection in April (the rainy end of winter), you don't hold much validity when your communication skills match that of a spoiled brat. I really do believe in respecting your elders, but when they are the name calling, ignorant know it alls give me a break.

Also my favorite post is the "it's three hours after a race has been cancelled and three hours before it was supposed to start and it's sunny and 105 degrees here." That doesn't mean the track can be raced on. Thanks Captain Obvious, many of us travel several hours to a race, we aren't afraid of venturing out of the county we were born in. I'm glad you live so close to a racetrack, why don't you takeover and do a perfect job of promoting said track?
