Make plans to come to the track on the weekend of August 14-15 for the first annual Back to the Track event being organizied by the USTA. This is an effort to get fans to turn off their computers for at least one weekend and head to the track to reaquaint themselves to live race and introduce some friends to harness racing.
Many of us got our start with harness racing by visiting the track. Why not introduce some of your friends or relatives to the beauty of the sport? Let's face it, while the computer makes it easy to play the races, it is a very sterile environment; it is hard to get people interested in a sport without experiencing the sights, sounds, and even the smells which accompany racing when you attend the races in person. By attending the races with non-racing fans, you give them the chance to experience racing, and perhaps help develop new fans for life.
Tracks will be hosting various promotions during this weekend, so it should be a fun to attend the races. I am certain tracks will be putting their best foot forward for the event. So why not make plans to come to the track the weekend of August 14-15 and not only introduce new people to harness racing, but to remember why you feel in love with harness racing in the first place?

Dear Pacingguy : We are forced to ask the question as to why the Atlantic City blog posting, together with the underlying reference, have both been deleted? Do we need to speak with Maureen at ACRC to understand the comings and goings?
There is nothing to discuss with ACRC. As I had stated, it was just a rumor that may not have had vailidity. There is a very good chance nothing will come of it. Racing may very well remain at the Meadowlands. I am in the process of modifying the posting to make sure it is clear that it is more speculative and may not amount to anything.
I am not aware of anything going on which would suggest ACRC is a valid possibility or not.
