i still have the program which i was wise enough to write all over so it has absolutely no value as a collectible and i can never forget the dopey bets i made.

i don't really have any particular sense of tragedy at it's closing though. i regret what it may mean for the future of socal racing overall. but i haven't set foot there since a devo concert 3 years ago so it's hard to bemoan it's passing. it never had the spot that santa anita or del mar do to most local race fans.

If Del Mar goes from 40 dates to 100 dates its going to ruin that place as well.
