Trials Prep Sets VIP Tent for Saturday Races
The same tent used for Thursday night’s Starting Gate Party will be reused for the VIP Tent Party. It takes four to five hours to flip and reconfigure the tent for Saturday’s races, including moving tables and chairs, said Mike Fanning of All Star Rents. The track’s drainage pad has improved levelness and allowed the tent to be closer to the rail. Spectators can view the races from the rail deck or watch the live feed inside the tent.
