Hello all!
Well the regular Delaware season is over, so some of us that might be going into racing withdrawals do have some other options. Couple the fact that the season was shortened by about 4 nights due to weather, and the early Labor Day end of season, means some of us aren't quite willing to retire our bench blankets just yet.
Delaware has cast their stone as wrapping up the season early every year, and they seem to be good with that, so racing addicts must look elsewhere for their September and October fun.
So, simply as a public service to fans that arent quite ready to hang it up just yet, here's a compiled list of what's left for the remainder of the season within a roughly 2 hour drive of Delaware.
Feel free to add anything I missed.
