Crash course....I should be in a great mood because I just found out the new Pumpkins CD comes out on TUESDAY....

I will be there experiencing my first DT event. Looking forward to meeting everyone and seeing Sumwon run a great race. It seems like a couple of the DT'ers from Chicago have been to Arlington before.LOL Maybe they can talk to Steve and suggest a meeting place. Looking forward to a great day!

awesome. As far as a meeting place maybe the John Henry-Bart statue 2nd floor paddock side would be good. It's a bronze full size rendition of the finish and has to be seen anyway.....A great thing about running on a wednesday is the crowds are small ontrack so they'll be plenty of options as to where to set up. For those inclined they also sell owner's boxes for the day (6-8 chairs) your own TV and betting machines with waitress service. They're also free benches and picnic benches that can put you on the apron near the finish line. Lets just hope early predictions of rain are wrong.

With my navigational skills someone should draw me a map.

Sounds good and praying for no rain too!

It's a BIG statue. Not quite as big as the ESPN camera crain but the crowds won't be Belmont day size either.

Less crowds is a good thing.

Dell, working on getting three of these through my old man, he is extremely busy at work right now thus really hasn't had an opportunity to get up there and ask the dude for three boxes on Wednesday. I would say 20% chance of getting them
