I believe if the town allowed the track to put in the lights and have a night race they would put the lights in next week. I know the track keep petitioning the town to do so but because of an agreement the last owner had with the town they keep saying no. Maybe losing a race will open up their eyes to perhaps losing both and all that revenue and they will allow lights. It would make it much better to go to on a hot July day/night.
