Wow. I never had a beef with a 2.00 parking fee, although the saavy promoter would have just charged 12.00 for fan entry and never mentioned the parking at all. My beef was with the coupons. Logical idea, bad implementation. How many people do not frequent this site to know about the coupons, such as out of towners, who go to the track and are faced with a 17.00 charge? That would put a bad taste in my mouth.

I believe in supporting local racing, but I'm not going to let crap like that slide without a comment, which I'm free to make the last time I checked. I make enough money to buy pit passes each time I come out there without blinking an eye, so don't think it's about funding.

Anyone in business has to know that people will question them, which I'm doing. Anyone who runs a successful business takes the comments, sifts through them, and keeps the ones that will help them succeed while tossing the superfluous ones. Thick skins are also a plus if they want to survive for long.

Here's to a successful year for our new mexico drivers here and abroad.
