Yesterday I was informed by Hollywood Park, that we would NOT be
able to use their lot for our May Divisional. Last weekend was
the opening of "Their" season. Normally, we've co-existed with
the horse racing crowd, with everyone getting a place to park.
Last Week, they had TWICE as many horse racing spectators as
usual. This limited their parking, and their customers
complained. The "upper" management decided that this was going
to be "the norm" and won't let us run, while their open. I don't
feel this is permanent, but it ruins our event. I 'm truly sorry
we can't put on the event, and will return all entries I've
received. Thanks-Guy Ankeny
