Decision time

Hey Jerry. Got any idea who appoints the fair board? Maybe you or Shortbus would be good board members.

Jerry Shaw · 7/4/11, 9:22 PM

They're elected. Once a year (usually in Nov.) they're voted on by Fair Association members. I'm not exactly sure how the candidates are nominated, though. So you just go to the meeting, look at the list and pick people that you think are in it for the right reasons (i.e. reputable people you've heard of in the ag or business communities). The guy that had been president for a while (Dave Hartmann) I have known since I was a kid. The current one (Jennifer Cook) I don't know at all. Anybody can join and become a member, as long as they can prove they live in Vigo County and pay the membership fee.

Since I'm not able to make it, I don't really have a horse in this race, but if I did, I'd have to side with Jerry. Sunday was just one race. I have a feeling you'll see a different track at ISW.

If I wasn't going to be out of the area during sprint week, I would be there regardless of what happened Sunday. It's the action track.

I am seriously considering omiting the Terre Haute race. Sitting in 90 plus heat for almost seven hours and eating dirt and not seeing a race did not make me very happy.
