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!

Less crowds is a good thing.

I'll be flying into O'Hare at 6:00am. After hearing about all the delays, I just hope I get to the track on time.

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
