The big talk this week is about the Free Admission special at I-80 this Sunday. That's right - grandstand admission is free. No buy one, get one, no coupon, no card...walk in the door and sit down. I can't think of a time when I've seen this. But these times (I wouldn't say 'desperate') call for those measures. And by that, I mean things that haven't been seen before. Now, let's get something
