5x expanded by Hirolovesswords (talk). Self nominated at 23:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC).

Length, 5x newness, cites, QPQ all good to go. Personally prefer ALT3 of the options here, but why not one about the opening night record?. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

One edit needed... "In January 1987, Robert Kraft and Steve Karp purchased an option on the track, which would allow Kraft, who had tried unsuccessfully to purchase the Patriots." - sentence is not completed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:51, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Fixed incomplete sentence. A hook about the record would also be fine. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

ALT 4 ... that Bay State Raceway′s opening night handle of $55,523 was a record?
