  How many people remember the old Laurel Race Track where we had conventions back in the 60's? The air conditioning back then didn't do much good, and I can remember ROASTING from the heat.

  I remember going to Laurel in 1975 or 1976. My daughter who was 5 years old at the time loved seeing the horses in the morning before the sessions. It was at Laurel that we went to a Chinese Restaurant for the first time and where my car was broken into at the motel parking lot.
