But yes, I'm sure the "system" could use $$$ and an upgrade.
Thanks for explaining it cause... well first off I wasn't playing FG or anything... I feel like why should this ever happen. I was thinking of a lot of unrelated things but if you think about them they are connected in a way...

A year or two ago lots of us got this email from Alex Waldrop wherein he asked for comments, suggestions, etc.

I'm assuming some of the slots money in various placs goes to the tracks (?).

The stock market wouldn't have to stop for a while cause there was a problem... right?

Do you see what I'm saying? This is not right and for the people playing... I just feel like it's outrageous that this kind of thing can happen.

Everything needs to be updated, suggestions need to be listened to. It should be completely fluid for the players... everything works without question and resources used to the best advantage possible (exmp. trackus. I don't watch too much tvg but what is the point of it if they don't talk about it? Of course that could just be me and I don't watch when they do or something. ).

If I can text people in Hong Kong I should be able to play any track. If JPL can begin a 5 year mission sending Juno to Jupiter I should be able to bet a race at Fair Grounds if i so desire!

It shouldn't happen. This isn't the 1950s. For God sake they need to spend the money and fix anything that needs to be fixed.

Whew! Okay better now.
