I don't know what ERMC stands for, but it is a private enterprise unaffiliated with the speedway and manages the *private* lots, like the mall. They are known to gouge people, even locals who go in for shopping. You probably would have fared better at one of the speedway controlled lots. As for traffic control it sucks during all special events, yet they never seem to improve it. That's why those of us who live here avoid that side of town until you race folks leave!

Well then for the second year in a row I watched blowers dry the track for about 2 1/2 hrs....last night the race actually got under way without caution a little after 11....THIS IS NASCAR PEOPLE!!!! The race was OK except for the fact that the 20 car lead the entire damb thang.... Javvy don't have enough bandwidth available for me to get into after the race traffic control....Let me just say that the Daytona cops, FDLE, Volusia County Sheriff officials, and Daytona Beach and Volusia government folks need to go to Talladega and learn from those country hicks about how to move traffic effectively and quickly out of town....
