I agree with the earlier comment. Allegations will cease when their use ceases. The buzzer allegations were definitely the most damaging allegations thrown out by PETA.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I viewed it as two racetrackers reminiscing over the "good ole days" at Ruidoso and laughing about how rampant those devices were used back then.

Total different ball of wax had they been talking/laughing about (for example) the 2013 Gulfstream meet, imo. Then, I'd be alarmed. Hell, I wouldn't drop another dime into the windows ever again.

I picked up this sport in 2004 with knowledge of some of the "cliches" attached to it. All boils down to how much policing the "powers-that-be" want to implement.
