More problems for Pinnacle Race Course. Governor Granholm should be happy.

After all the Governor wants to kill us off anyway.

Too much heritage to let go of in the State of Michigan. Don’t you agree?

Reminiscing/ Detroit Race Course

Believe me the MAIN picture had a 100 people jammed into that Winner Circle. This was just an after picture. And this one above may disappear.

The Detroit Race Course (DRC) opens in 1950 and Livonia Township becomes the city of Livonia to qualify for revenue from the new track.

In 1998 Livonia voted to Destroy DRC. The track that made them a city.

And in 1998 the Distribution of Pari-Mutual Wagering Revenues to Livonia received from DRC was:

Rebate: $694,969.92

Expenditures: $482,103.68

I wonder what they made off Meijers in 1999?
