fonduesky---You're setting youself up for some "good ol' days" stories but I will spare you. Actually it is all a great event but everything has become such a mob scene. I really would go again in the right circumstances. In the fifties, one ticket got you into the races and you wandered back and forth to the concour whenever you tired of race cars running over your toes. Heck, I"ve even anchored my sailboat off the Lodge and dingied ashore to eat while on a cruise from Sacramento to Puerto Vallarta....not while the races were going on, but doubt one could do that today.
