wellll...in the last 11 weeks we have had about 700,000 people "make a weekend of it" here dropping about $700 million into the local economy...with another 100,000 or so dropping in for the US Nationals out at Raceway Park over Labor Day weekend.
and then there was the US Track Championships...
and before that the World Swimming Championships...
man...I am wondering why a world class hotel chain like Conrad would build here? Being it's such a backwater and all...and nobody's dropping in...
BTW...your satire was lost when you asked where all the teams were...they were racing in Elk Grove...
