Some great off track experiences too thanks to an industry connection and a local guy who introduced me to his friend who lives on Nelson on the crown of the Clubhouse turn and hosted a post Travers party.

18 is a number you can be proud of! I'm boxing the 1 & 8 all day now... 😆
Table neighbors yesterday were from Utica, 2 hours away? They're coming back Sunday too. Great time, the common bond of loving Saratoga, you make fast friends.. Saturday I have friends coming from Rochester that I met here a few years ago.
We text holiday greetings , we keep in touch all year discussing Saratoga plans...it's heartwarming.
The new tailgate area is imho-- epic beyond epic. I mean, you are right on top of the track! It's crazy good. I'm considering renting one without a car! 😂
They have a little station out here, 3 machines, 2 tvs and a bar/bartender for 12 spots..pretty nice.
