Thanks to the Badder Family and Div 3 crew

[Jim Bailey]

Please don't forget ...This is not an overnight success story. Bill Bader has been busting his *** at Norwalk since the early 70's. This is a success story built on dedication and a labor of love. We're just lucky to reap the benefit of the Bader Family's ( including their employee's ) hard work. Bill and Billy have got the winning formula. We could all learn from them. - God, Family, Fireworks, Friends, and a hand shake when you leave with a full belly of Ice Cream. JB

Jim, you are very correct. I think I heard them announce it's the 49th year for the track. Quite an "overnight" success by most standards! LOL

But the culture there, that is all about the who - not the when or how long. And I really don't know how you can clone that to bring it elsewhere without people with similar personalities and integrities in charge of the show. I kinda suspect it's just something you are born with. Or not.
