Police
The MotoGP race was going on at the same time in Indianapolis, the police force around Indy was crazy, I'm guessing that is why there weren't too many extras to fill in. People from all over the world were there, and downtown Indy shutdown sat. night, motorcycles only, one big ass party.
I stopped in TH on the way to Indy on Friday afternoon to stretch and fuel up, I saw 5 trucks in a 10 minute period smoking up the roads right next the the construction and Interstate. To be honest I was glad to be going to the MotoGP this year and not be associated with the diesels blacking out the streets. I hope the actual event was a success and I want to attend next year...if all is well.
I agree that Neil's post was well said. What I'd like to know is how did Indy and the western suburbs get the police, sheriff's department, state troopers etc. needed to control that event but Terre Haute comes up short. The Indy event clamped down on the BS. Why can't Terre Haute do the same? Do they not want the revenue that the event brings into town. What IS the difference here?
