**To avoid confusion and lack of know how, i’m surprised that the AMCA Brass doesn’t post & elaborate on how much time & effort is involved in putting on the Largest National AMCA Event, like Wauseon,Ohio.
Roeder Racing crew had 3 shifts of crews starting set-up from Monday morning(7-15-2019), till Race day on Friday(19th). That was around 20 to 25 total personnel, just for the 1/2 mile event Race prep. Fulton County still runs the trotters and have their personnel on the premises. Also, those grounds are commercially sprayed for mosquito control prior to the National. Most of the food vendors are setting up. The AMCA volunteer & grounds maintenance have to check the electric outlets, Pa equipment, check point gate set-up, and make sure the lavatories are clean and functioning & grounds are marked, cut & trimmed, plus countless other formalities.
**I completely do not understand your statement ‘eldomike’, about..."why 100 people are on the grounds before the rest of us"? Maybe--the prior paragraph will enlighten You? As far as the good people involved, they are diligently trying to ensure that the Event will come off without a hitch, as opposed to being subject to bantering about the unprofessionalism of the Event weekend, and it’s function. If anything, i would be highly concerned about the Punk Bastards that cut the lock off the North Gate, and ‘trespassed' onto Fulton County Fairgrounds without permission, and jeopardized the rest of the law abiding AMCA Members vending at Wauseon!
** E.g. When Scotty Brown was race promoter*(2007-2017), around 3-4 years into the program, some of the racers plastic tear-offs escaped pick-up and discard, and were flying around the track from the gust of wind that released them from under the privacy race fence tarps. A trotter’s horse was hit with a prism right between the horses eyes and the blinders that ricocheted from the sun’s reflection off a single tear-off. The Horse spooked, and almost ejected the rider. Granted, a totally freakish occurrence, but nevertheless, Scotty was issued a ‘WARNING', that if even one of those tear-offs were spotted on the track, there would not be…Any More Motorcycle Racing on that 1/2 Mile!
This could happen to the National Wauseon event, with incidents like the gate cut and the illegal entering of the Fairgrounds prior to the scheduled Thursday 8am entry. I’m sure the Fulton County Fairgrounds Committee will seriously review these actions.
