Did the snow storm happen after the races started ?

Race 2 and 3 both went in 2:00

And there are days when they have alot of rain that you will see races go in 2:04-:06

I hope you don't need to go (slide) down it. Been there done that and always regretted it. But I survived.

Good Luck

It was hairy enough in the Summer.  Don’t go there any more.

They delayed canceling so they could maximize sales on the vending machine

They have 1 teller, and the 6 people there are betting Parx thoroughbreds.

Can’t wait to see what the Wurtsboro hill looks like on rt 17

  grandparents had a cabin on top of what was Wurtsboro Hills. Never went to church on Sundays as the milk trucks would sometimes lose their their air brakes coming down the long steep stretch into Wurtsboro on Rt. 17. The Church was at the bottom and the cars would be lined up by maybe 30 or 40 to park and many were just crushed with a big loss of life.  Rt.17 during the 50's and 60's was a death trap for certain. Monti was right up the road in the Jewish Alps.

The trick to driving in snow on rte 17 in bad snow storms is to use your transmission, if you have an automatic keep it in low gear 1 and go slow, maybe 30 mph. I have made that trip hundreds of times.
One time decades ago it started snowing and i told my wife lets head back to nyc before the state police close the highways.
I kept my car in low gear 1 and went down those big mountains 30 mph. 4wd vehicles were flying past me doing 60 or 70 and my wife started nagging me about going slow until we got to the bottom of the mountain and those same vehicles were in the center highway ditch.

I spent many summers at a bungalow colony in Wurtsboro run by Local 805.

The Jewish Alps has all but evaporated but they left their blacks behind to take over the city and create a shit hole out of it.
