It had nothing to do with an earthquake but a regular state inspection last May found issues.
The good news - it's not structurally deficient but has some exposed girders and other stresses that do need repair.
A Freehold Township official tells me they need to do repairs ASAP, but racing is still going forward at this time.

In the time that the grandstand was being rebuilt after the fire, we continued in the tents. Froze in the winter and suffered from intense heat in summer until the grandstand reopened. I remember one really hot afternoon when the refreshment stands ran out of any kind of liquids and had to leave to get something to drink.

  • Trigger: Kirby, take a couple of months and treat me as respectfully as I treated you.  Calhoun stood up for you and you acted like an entitled horror show.  Non stop complaing and insulting.  I didn't ask for your screen name, and I don't care who you are.  Should I  ngc3?

  • Kirby's Ace: I asked first! What was your previous screen name or names? Mine were Delaware Destroyer.
