They got away with it for five years because basically it was off the beat path on the backstretch and there wasn't 2000 seats and a concession back there either.
Im sorry but that was just rude. If your getting away with it at THAT or another track. Its simply because they aren't enforcing it. Like I said. Kokomo and Gas City your not even allowed a cooler unless its for Diabetic supplies.
The law basically is to protect buisness. Bascially your can't bring your own beer to a bar or restaraunt

Here is what little bit I found in Indiana. Not that it is an issue, I just prefer Miller products. I have had 1 beer at the Burg this year, I plan on changing that number this week, don't run out of buckets.
