I'm not sure if it's state law or by county. Obviously, there are laws/permits that allow alcohol into certain venues. I don't know if certain places can't get that type of permit (county thing) or choose not to (costs more to get it). Maybe only certain places are able to obtain those permits. Would love an explanation because I've always wondered what the difference is. Everytime this sort of thing happens, people get all bent about it...having an uderstanding might be good.

If you're a "race fan" and you stay away from a track because of cooler laws, then you aren't much of a fan. Stay home and drink I guess.
