I park close to the front gate for this very reason. Here is the topper. As I was going to my car for a cold beer my name and licesne plate number was announce over the PA. I thought someone had hit my car. When I arrived there was 3 cops standing next to my car and they asked me how I got there so fast. I told them I was already on my way because of lack of action on the track. They asked me what I had in my trunk, as their dope dog got a hit on my car. I told them, BEER. They laughed, and asked to search my trunk. I said have at it, but let me get a beer first. I got my beer. They searched my trunk,my girl friends purse, my cooler and my trash bag that I use to keep my trash in. But what was funny, they did not look in my car or into the folding chairs in a bag I had in the back of the trunk. I think this was a scam to find some minor infraction that they could sight one for.When they ran my plate, they knew right then I was clean with no record, why the harssment? It is a money game. Like The ' Burg has not got enought money from the casino. If they were really looking for drugs, I would think the parking garage at The Casino would be a better place to look. If this kind of police harassment keeps up, I can see the L'Burg Speeedway going down the tubes. I have second thoughts about going back.

See, if you had stayed and watched the street stocks, none of this would have ever happened.
