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.

  • dougie: I enjoy the banter. It's important to talk about issues as well as the crazy politicians who have led this nation since I started voted. This site, can at times be very mean spirited. I am guilty of that too. But I just am doing my best to enjoy chatting in here.

  • dougie: Since you don't personally know me,any insult barely registers. And hoe each person worships is their own business. I only know two folks on here in real life, so I don't know who is really who? Multiple accounts. Saying opposite things. Starting shit. Thant's OK. Thius site should never be taken seriously.

  • Trigger: You never picked up an old fucking testament but every fucking holiday your exchanging greetings.  No one does that shit here.  Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the old testament unpardonable sin.

  • dougie: I can't tell you how God feels about him. As for the Dems and Repubs killing each other, that won't happen either. Just the 2 party system at it's worst.
