Agree with all that was said already, we were already in town for the day so were there early (didn't have to fight the traffic) but wow, wall to wall, long lines ... I don't know if I'd do the Friday night thing again without a reason. I agree, it did seem a younger crowd that usually doesn't come to the track - they didn't bet, but sure seemed to be having a great time! Will be interesting to see if a "Friday night" crowd develops. Hot, geesh, it was hot!

Black Jack in grade schools could really boast auto industry. Just a few kids passing some time with some left over lunch money.. Everybody is doing it, time for folks to get off their high horse, and allow kids some freedom. GM needs this to compete with Toyota not sure what the hold up is although I suggest we call Obama's office at 1-800 FRE-EDOM. Or email your thoughts to BJforkids.com

I don't know why the NBA decided to run their basketball games on tv and promote their players. They could have more easily held bingo night.

I really think a lot of tracks should experiment with night racing. If you work days, there is no way you can go to the track at noon. Del Mar and Saratoga should have a few fridays with night racing in mind.
