I think the whole premise of this thread is bunk. One of the great things about IOW is that it allows us to know who's going where, what track's doing what, etc. You have your reasoning for going to a particular race, other people have theirs. If they want to find out something they don't know and start a thread here on IOW to do so, that's their business. Enough with the " I'm such an old, jaded race fan that I must object to anybody who dares to come to IOW to ask a question that I already know the answer to" stuff. There are enough people on IOW that come here to whine about things or to cause trouble. Quit trying to make newer people feel stupid or unwanted, just because they came here with a question.
