No Passing lane at Hoosier Park
« on: March 13, 2025, 04:46:18 PM »
When Hoosier Park opens tomorrow there will be no more passing lane for the last 1/8 mile as a 60-day experiment to encourage more movement during the race.

Passing lanes are the worst invention ever.

For big tracks, it's damned retarded.

Hoosier has the longest stretch of any 7/8 mile track, why they even had a passing lane made no sense.

Forgot about Hawthorne because the track is garbage. Hawthorne's is 1320 feet, Hoosier's is 1255 feet.

If you're going to have one there, 1/8 of a mile is too long, 1/16 may be a little short, somewhere in between.

All drivers wait for the passing lane at any track that has one.

When are people in the industry going to wake up and realize it is not what you want, it is what the CUSTOMERS want.  This is a perfect example why the handouts have to go.

I think ALL tracks should have a passing lane. Easier to fix races without one.

  • MTP1972: I never had enough deductions to itemize so even if I was able to claim my losses it only would have been a small percentage. Thankfully the IRS finally changed the law regarding taxable tickets.

  • MTP1972: One year a long time ago I cashed IRS tickets for some people totaling around $40,000 making around $4000 doing so. I picked up thousands and thousands in losing tickets, kept programs and a daily log of how I did. When I filed my tax return that year and claimed them as losses I was audited by some old fart who didn't know shit. At the end of the audit he said I showed enough proof I lost the money back and he'd submit it in his report. 6 months later I get a notice from IRS saying my proof wasn't good enough and included a tax bill of $12,000, which I never paid because after 10 years they forgave it. Unforunately my state piggybacked on it and sent me a tax biil for $3200 which I disputed and they kept adding on interest and late fees. Finally 2 years later my bill was up to $8000 and they sent a wage attachment to my employer si I got fucked big time.

  • MTP1972: Back at Garden State Harness I hit an $11,000 trifecta for a $1 on a horse, Speedy Wright, driven by Mark Kesmodel paid $11 to win. The exacta paid $60 but a real bomb finished 3rd. Unforunately at that time if your winnings were over $5000 they automatically took out 28% + another 3% for NJ State Tax leaving me with only $3800 from a $5500 ticket.
