Why wouldn't they be open? I was out there Thursday, and no one said anything to me. This is still a big project. The seating is ready. As are the bathrooms. The food stand, is not totally finished, but will be usable.
Ole Brent is correct, the stands will be open for today's race. We got here yesterday around noon. The O'Conner were working on the stands and other facilities along with several other crews. They worked through the rains and into the dark. There will be a make shift concessions and beer sales for u. One of the O'corners told me the front stretch stands hold about 200 less people. They are a little taller but not as wide. Have to give the O'Conner family a big thank you. Now days tracks are closing but they just made this nicer.
