We had to open the back seat. He checked behind our overnight bags in the backseat and even checked a plastic grocery bag that had 2 warm water bottles in it and checked the trunk. I am not complaining and even told him thanks when he was done. I figured they have their reasons for it, and they are doing what is best for their business. You know an excise cop seeing you with a flask inside could fine the track and jeopardize their permit. If I am at any track and want a drink that I can't take inside, I simply walk to my vehicle and have one. Of the 167 tracks that I have been to I have yet to have one be too far of a walk that it would kill me. In fact it might help me live a little longer.
With all that being said, instead of dwelling on the negative, my only post was that is was a really good midget race. After all that is what I was there for. That is all I really care about. Good safe racing and no one getting hurt.
