Not trying to start any problems or cause a pissing match. However, I was at LPS last year and Brad Dickison, track announcer, "announced" that "if" they were rained out your raincheck would be good for any race on the schedule the rest of the year.

The policy at the ticket booth stated that a raincheck would be honored for only the next two races. I just assumed that he knew what he was talking about.

Well unfortunately, we were rained out that night. When I attended later in the year, I was told that my raincheck was not good as it would have had to have been used at either of the next two shows after the rainout.

Again, I am not trying to stir the pot. My point is that it is posted "[B]IN WRITING"[B] and what the announcer said isn't. Many times announcers are either mis-informed or don't know the policies at the track. I would double check with LPS prior to assuming that the announcer knew what he was talking about.

I still go to LPS and enjoy their shows but last year taugh me a valuable lesson. Make sure you know the tracks policy before you invest your money. Enough said.
