Now, going to the races is nothing new to me. Been doing it since the early sixties darned near every week of the season - - - - I've been to a few of them!
My local track here in NJ holds a Christmas in July night every year and tonight (Sat) was this years. Sponsored every year by one of the drivers who has a financial oriented business, he, in conjunction with the annual Toys for Tots drive by the Marines, give away over $10,000 worth of prizes including televisions, Ipods, stereo systems, portable cd and much more prizes of the same level. To get in on the drawing, fans need to either (1) bring an unwrapped new toy for a chance in the drawing, or (2) make a donation of at least $5. My wife and I donated $40 this time around. Things seemed to be going as normal with prizes being given out with nothing coming my way. With about four or five left, out of around seventy gifts available, they drew one of my wifes numbers - good for a twenty inch flat screen television/dvd player combo. Merry Christmas!! The drive netted the Toys for Tots a few thousand new toys and over $6,600 dollars.
