The 1999 McChump ??/365 Racing Tour

	Sportsman's at Hawthorne Hawthorne Racecourse, Stickney, IL, Feb 20-21 Amazingly, it looks just like Hawthorne, except with less horses. The food selection is a bit different and more expensive, the gift shop is full of Chicago Motor Speedway junk, and the car track out back is coming along real nice. Real nice. It's going to make old Sportsman's Park look like a work of art.
	A Relaxing Country Getaway, chump *** Oaklawn Park, Hot Springs, AR, Feb 27-28 *** Story soon come, man! ***
	A little too much Wine Shed, chump Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, CA, Mar 12-14 Well, the annual Spring trip west for the brutal conference at the Santa Barbara beachfront resort provided yet another excuse to fly out a couple of days early, and get McChump #2 to fly out as well, for three wonderful days of racing at this old palace. Very interesting discoveries on this trip included a store named Caskets, Etc. right next to the Second Cabin bar, and we couldn't quite figure out what that Etc. might be but we had a great time checking out the names of the different models in the window, and we also discovered that when you're in the proper mood on a morning after visiting the Second Cabin, the trimmed trees inside the fence by the east parking lot look just like a bunch of bare butts sticking out of a rugby scrum. Check it out for yourself, chump!
