I always enjoy the Dixie, and the Sir Bart...er...Barbaro has had a few nice races over the years. The Friday card is always really nice as well. I guess when one is used to the average MJC card, those cards are pretty darn nice.

This is really a shame. I have been about 10 times and had fun everytime. The reason it has become an issue in the last 10 years is becasue more and more corporate tents in the infield. It is already a pretty small infield, but atleast 50% is consumed by corporate tents. So, they basically push 100K people into half an infield. Close quarters is just as much to blame as beer for trouble in the infield. Territory wars are a big problem. In contrast, the Derby infield is huge and has relatively few areas designated for tent and stands. You can find open grass to sit down all day long. No need to fight over a small piece.

MEC sucks my Maryland ass!
