Funny Stories at the Track

I was at Springfield watching the fair races on a Saturday. In 1 of the empty stalls they had a cooler full of beer. Saw 1 of the drivers reach into the cooler more than once to imbibe. He drove several on the card, then flew a fucking plane north to Balmoral for the card and...wait for it...landed the Cessna on the backstretch of the actual track. Fun times across 394 at the old Balmoral Park. WTAF! Chronic alcoholic lands small aircraft on track with thousands of people in the building....while he may have been under the influence! OO my!

One year the local track changed hands. The new manager got local businesses to advertise on just about anywhere you could put a sign. Lottery on the retaining fence on the backstretch, Beer ad.on the tote board ect,ect! Third race opening night a horse choked and died in theclubhouse turn,they load it on a closed trailer to remove it. The tractor pulls it passed the grandstand amid resounding distain. Some people even left shaking their heads and then I realized why the reactions. The tractor had a big Wendys sticker on the door! I  think I  was just one of the few that put the 2&2 together! They  must have gotten calls because the next night the sign on the tractor was gone!
