Cumberland got thier sports betting facility and they now must be very profitable being in the state of Maine. Why they dont't make the track more fan friendly makes no sense. Never been to the betting faciitity. Curious if the bathrooms and seating area.s are comfortable there.

I go almost every weekend. Facility is a dump. Bathrooms are a mess. And no real good food. Parking is trackside. Crowds are very small. But the racing is fun to watch.

Bangor is 100% more fan friendly with food and a nice indoor betting area with many more TVs the Dumberland

I agree 100%. Cumby doesn't put a cent into making their track comfortable and fan friendly.

The heater upstairs in the grandstand would not heat an outhouse.

If you think a 45 year old screwing a 16 year old is cool then ur no better then a pedophile

 Ya that is pretty gross & is definitely pedo behavior, alot of guys get laughed out of the room by most women their age, sick of striking out- it doesn't take much to impress a kid.
 They don't "fall in love" with a kid who has nothing in common with them besides immaturity.
They do it because everyone their age thinks they're a joke
You should have stayed in school & got a job.

Don't forget a 10 years ago when the Harrington's were with the Sowers before getting together themselves.  I believe there was about a 10 year gap between them mid 20s vs mid teens ?

fairs are really the only fun places in maine to attend. mhha hated joe and scarborough. really did shoot themself by getting rid of the downs for cumberland. went from close to a hundred race days to 40. not a great idea. bangor is a decent place to attend yet so few actually do. said it before. southern maine needs a evening track with lights for the summer. the tourist crowds went away when we stopped seeing night racing.

I agree with what you say. But as someone who lives in Southern Maine, I don't think we'll ever see a track built around here.

I see where Walter had only one drive at Bangor Sunday. Scores at a delicious 16-1. Good for him. tmbz1

Casey doesn't get as many drives as he used to. We used to chat at Scarborough Downs years ago. He'll get more drives at the fairs.

The driving colony is thin in Maine, especially with Drew Campbell gone. Some younger drivers are getting opportunities. Heath Campbell is back from Florida, and he's very good.

Yeah, some of the younger drivers are getting some drives. Fair racing is coming soon here. Fryeburg is my favorite.
