Why don't you actually look up the law before making such a arrogant comment. It is the law in both ohio and indiana that you may not carry in Alcohol into any establishment with a liquer licence.
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

Don't forget IMS and ORP. You used to be able to carry in beer at The 'Burg until the current promoter took over. Also you could take in beer at Gas City until they banned coolers. This was a good call there,because their goofy grandstands made coolers a real hassle.

I guess I have missed something here, seems to me that all of us go to the tracks to watch racing, not to get wrapped up in whether or not beer can be carried in or not or whether the track sells it or not:headbang
Enough from me on this,need to get the yard mowed, get packed up and enjoy the first five nights of :shoutINDIANA SPRINT WEEK:checkered:

The beer prices, assortment and service are so good at the 'Burg, that it just isn't worth the hassle to drag/sneak it in. Enloy ISW, grab a beer if you wish, heck grab one for me!:hoffman:

Isnt that what Street Stocks, Mods, mini sprints, etc are for. Going to the parking lot to pound a beer or two until you hear the sprint cars pushed off?

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.

So basically it says you could take it into ORP *Paved* but not a dirt track selling alchohol.

Sorry, I just don't respect the conspirasist saying only when the new promotor took over. It's been in effect for at least 6 years.

Chuck, saying someone got a loophole (Probably Tony George and the others are piggybacking on that)
