Sausage and peppers where a $1.00, and gas was under a buck. Just recalling the good times

I understand what you are saying Hoffy, and although I'm not crazy about the addition of four more days, I love the extended dates. It's the SUMMER place to be. I can't wait for Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't they try a 12:30 post for one year?

I just remember everyone was walking around like Zombies and couldn't wait for the meet to end.

Anyone know why Friday isn't twilight racing? I just assumed it was until I saw post time of 1 PM today.

Charlie Hayward was on the OTB channel yesterday morning and said that they didn't want to have twilight card on actual opening day and cause potential confusion with a post time other than 1 PM.
