I haven't looked at the video, but is that the video of people taking full cans of beer and throwing them into the crowds as one might toss a grenade into a foxhole, or is that a video of an idiot trying to run the urinals despite the fact the urinals are in groups of six and spaced ten feet apart?

Anyway, I'm sure there is some merit to picking up the liquor business, but I'm frankly shocked there hasn't been a huge lawsuit at Pimlico to date over some of the happenings in the infield. MJC certainly can't afford that megamillion lawsuit at this point.

Yes. The Running of the Urinals just won't be the same without people getting crowned with full beer cans.

I for one think the infield at the Preakness borders on being a drunken prison riot after around 3pm. It has only become this way in the past 10 years or so - I used to go in the mid 80's-early 90's and while we all enjoyed more than our fair share of booze, it was still a festive atmosphere. It is absolutely fucl<ing disgusting nowadays. Good for the MJC.

which also will feature an interactive area where fans can experience the thrill of driving a NASCAR vehicle for a virtual test lap
Perhaps it's me, but I think they should have a virtual horseracing game instead of a NASCAR game. (maybe NASCAR threw some $ at them)

exactly.... like 4-5 years ago i was @ the belmont and they had the big 18 wheeler NTRA semi in the park. You could get on the truck and look at all these different cool horse racing features, the horse racing video game where you're physically on the horse. But the coolest thing was they had a section where they actually let you call a race, and it was broadcasted throughout the entire truck so all could hear. I was wasted and ended up getting the mass cap when skip away won, they gave me the pp's and let me go to work, i was so wasted i knew it sounded like sh!t but it was fun, and they gave you the "VHS" (thats the old school version of a DVD for those out there that don't know).

but i guess some sort of nascar ride would be more fitting or relavent @ a horse race and a nascar hot bed like b-more, what?
