Here you have a beautiful facility ( and AP really impressed me with it's cleaniness and nice people and great atomosphere, even the food was good) ....But you'd have to watch the "drive-in movie" to see the race.

Heck I live in da U.P. Michigan....All I see is trees day in..day out. I drove 8 hr to watch horseracing...not horticulture.

I took the family to Yosemite a couple of years back. Here in environmentally over-sensitive California. As we were driving the valley floor, I kiddingly said, "they need to cut these darned trees down so you can see some stuff!"

Turns out, now they are.
