A great deal to like about the Papieses..

Amen to that............was there for July 4th and had a fantastic time. The facility is truly one of the best and it's just a shame to see the industry there being unappreciated. I lived in Chicago from 1988-92 and remember going to all 3 tracks (Sportmans was active then) and seeing some pretty fine quality racing.
