In that case, Subway is for you.

If not for a few of the awesome collection of chicks employed as Subway sandwhich artists, I couldn't get laid in a morgue.

I highly recommend this months $5 Sub-of-the-month special - the 'Chipolte Chicken and Cheese'

You're going to want to ask for that on "Italian Herbs and Cheese" - money as a sub roll whenever chicken is involved.

The key, and this is important, is to ask for green peppers, jalipenos, and Chipolte sauce BEFORE they toast it.

I was thinking of doing Toga this year, but from what I hear, lodging is impossible.

I suppose I could camp out somewhere, but that would be weird, camping then going to the track.

I can't believe DrugS didn't invite you back in 2007. He had a big place all to himself.

Really? I've never known him to do something for another person that didn't involve some sort of angle or personal gain.

A true grifter among men. At least he is consistent.

Why is it weird? there are some real nice campgrounds around there, Saratoga is a wonderful place to camp out. Plus it's perfect weather for camping (nice days, cool nights) as long as it doesnt rain!!

It's a thought.

I just don't like camping around tards.

Knowing my experiences with public campgrounds, my neighbor would be that guy from the TVG clip that was chanting Zen yat ta over and over.

Are there any decent bike trails in Saratoga?

Oh yeah and good food recommendations. I'll be sure to bring a satchel of digestive enzymes.

Yes. Was part of the big table of knuckleheads. My buddy Dave sent you the drink for one of your selections he cashed on.

Really great opening weekend.

I'll agree on the lunch part..

Have never been a big Hattie's fan though.

The place Travis mentioned looked good enough to eat at all 36 (or whatever) days of the meet.

That's the place - thanks Steve and Andy



Freddy, have you even been there? Perhaps I just got lucky and caught them on a particularly great evening, but thought the food was some of the best Italian cuisine I've ever had...
