As for track conditions, tires weren't steam rollers as they are today. Also you could use calcium chloride that you can't use today. Also with the concerts and horse races before mile events, it limits the amount of time Bob Sargeant has to work with the track.

Just remember this, if it wasn't for Bob Sargeant , there would b no more dirt mile races.

Also, it's easy to hide behind a keyboard, who are you isp1700 ?
