If safety is the goal and your trying to determine if a driver is under the influence during an event, peeing in a cup is only going to tell you what he has done it the past. Weed meth ect... detected through urine test does not show as being under the influence at the time of the test. They need to do blood draws to determine the amount of the substance in the blood by wieght. Test 2 should be a breath test to check for alcohol level. Alcohol could be determined immediatley and the blood test would still take a few days but at least you would know that that driver showed upl to race under the influence of drugs instead of the guy who smoked a joint 3 weeks ago. They don't ban drivers that got drunk 3 weeks ago at a family picnic. If they show up under the influence of drugs or alcohol to race BAN THEM FOR A YEAR. The urine test is a joke. All my years in law enforcement if you were involved in a fatal accident you were getting a blood test and not a urine test for a reason.Originally posted by CageFaraday View PostI don't, I think its mostly for PR and a handy tool to effect those they don't like. I think ALL drug laws should be abolished, the DEA & FDA de-funded and shuttered. Then take the savings and use that for education and rehab. If they want to do pre-race sobriety of all drivers and officials I'd be cool with that, but drug testing during any event won't keep a soul any safer since results won't be back for days. I use to have a staunch anti-drug attitude, but maturity and honest information changed my view.

I'd be all for sobriety test for fans before they leave the track to drive home. It WILL BE a tragic situation when some drunk hits another car while driving home from the track and kills multiple people. All because the track thought it was solid decision to allow him to buy/consume 12+ beers in 3 hours.Originally posted by jr29 View PostMaybe we should test the fans too. It could be a tragic situation if some fan who was on pot wandered onto the track or stumbled into a raised jack.
It's not feasible...on many levels, but I am amazed at how many people get completely $#@tfaced at the track and then drive home. I've seen a noticeable increase in the number of drunken slobs at the races I've attended this year. Seems to get worse every year.
I know the local short track is not the same as an MLB stadium or NFL stadium, but there's a reason why you can't buy a beer at a professional baseball game after the 7th inning or at a football game after the 3rd quarter.
Not at the racetrack. As long as you're still standing and have the $ to pay, they'll keep selling you beer, before, during, and after the races.Last edited by Zonks32x; 06-26-2018, 09:42 PM.

The PR is nice, but it’s mostly about insurance. Either their insurance company required it or they’re getting a big break on what they pay for insurance.Originally posted by CageFaraday View PostI don't, I think its mostly for PR and a handy tool to effect those they don't like.
