Ed - First things first - those of us from Pennsylvania - we park on macadam .Secondly , not a bit of crime scene tape anywhere - well almost - but I took it down for a quick picture -management got wind that you might show up this weekend and roped off a "special" spot just for you - paved with some little buildings to shade you in case its too sunny -plenty nice of them - wasn't it ? Come on down .............

As you'll see from my pics fuel is a little cheaper here in New Jersey with unleaded at under $3.50 and diesel @$3.85 -these prices are at the Valero - intersection of rt 73 and Jackson Rd. on the way to the track .

Manning the gate tonight were these two cuties and we got talking a little - they ( opps -this reporter forgot to get their names ) thought most tracks were open round the clock for racers to get in - the truth is we're spoiled by Atco - most places we sit in a field all night - thanks Joe Sway and Co. - sure is a lot nicer being inside and set up without have to crawl in early in the morning .
