Racing in other states could learn a lot from them, seems to me running in the evening works a lot better than during the day when people have things like their job to attend to...

Agree... this was the first time outside of Keeneland i have seen so many women and children at a track! Everyone has a blast and stays till the last race. No endless carrols of aging degenerates making up the majority of track-goers at Lone Star, that is for sure.

Too bad we didn't have time for Billy Bob's!
