    All the more reason to get back to normal ASAP.

        There are always racing addicts ready to spend what they have. That's what racing costs. Whatever you are able or willing to throw at it.

            I would think that promoters that have leased fairground race tracks would have to be really nervous right now as they stand to really lose money, unless the fairboards give them a break for all the shutdown time. Add frequent rain outs and especially the big Lucas and high dollar events and some promoters will be in the poor house.

            B-town used to lease the track out for about $62,000 a season and that was over ten years ago. Since then though a fair board member seems to always get the track leases.

                Both ZERO and Barbequeboy apparently can’t do math. ZERO thinks 320 million * 60% * 1.3% = 25 million. Lol

                      Y'all realize we haven't hit 1st of April yet. Most tracks don't really get running full bore till after April with rain outs etc.

                          The bigger concern for me is how many people seem happy that people are losing their jobs.. happy that people are dying.. happy the economy is suffering because of the virus. I was never a fan of Obozo but I would never wish for people to suffer for political reasons. Unfortunately that is exactly what we are seeing now. Not sure if it is a lack of compassion or lack of common sense.
