Thanks, Norm! Looking forward to seeing you in the Winner's Circle!!
No winners circle so I had to visit him in the barn. He was indifferent to the experience, but I had a great time. Hanging out on the backstretch in the barn area was the best. The raceways are missing out not having at least a fraction of the type of interaction between the public and participants.
Listening to the starter gruffly, but simultaneously playing to the backstretch crowd, order the drivers around in the minute before calling them to the gate is worth the price of admission. He had the backstretch in stitches.
When I was searching for TheStable horses just prior to the first race, driver Luke Hanners politely asked to glance at my program. I walked about 30 yards with him and his horse and crew while he did a last second assessment of the field.
They strategically scheduled this BSS leg on a night Scioto was dark, so most of the top drivers were there and just hanging out with family, friends and acquaintances in between drives.
Highly recommend the experience if you love the sport.
