Wow, Greg! That certainly brings back some memories of some VERY long days (and nights)!

It appears that people still don't fully understand that *all* racing facilities in New Jersey have been licensed and regulated by the state for a VERY long time and that state licensing and regulation of race tracks wasn't some new concept that was created when NJMP was opened.

And just like any other licensed and regulated industry in ANY state, the "private" owners are compelled to comply with the regulations... regardless of whether the rules make sense to the end customers.

I don't miss that part of the job there...
