That will be a lot of work - have to move the tote board, or put in a new one. I remember when that one came in a long time ago.
And the entire inside from the edge of the dirt track slopes downward. Should be worthwhile, though.
Cutting back on dates is a great idea. We used to run mid-May to mid-October. It was alway warm when they ran. I remember standing at the rail on a March 1st freezing in the 80s.
Hope it goes well. Thanks Dan
