Racing in other states could learn a lot from them, seems to me running in the evening works a lot better than during the day when people have things like their job to attend to...

Agree... this was the first time outside of Keeneland i have seen so many women and children at a track! Everyone has a blast and stays till the last race. No endless carrols of aging degenerates making up the majority of track-goers at Lone Star, that is for sure.

Too bad we didn't have time for Billy Bob's!

If you guys are there in September, I'll be there. I'm going to see Emerson Drive (Canadian country band) in concert at Billy Bob's. Yeehaw!
