BOXING MATCHES AT THE RACETRACK

MY FAMILY and I love to go to Franklin County Speedway on Saturday nights where there is plenty of action!

You get to see six different classes of races, drunks who fall on people and use abusive language around small children, and you get to see these same people start fights.

What's done about it? Not a thing. Security is called to break up the fights, and the combatants go on their merry way.

Not everyone gets drunk. You have those who drink and don't cause problems. But you also have the so-called wild bunch. The owner doesn't seem to care much, as long as he makes a dollar.

Is this the kind of fun you'd like to take your family and friends to? If so, it costs $5; children under 10 free. SHERRI RICHARDSON GOODVIEW
