DO NOT try to fake the accent, unless you like being laughed at. We think it's hilarious. A pocket knife is as essential at a wallet (called a bill-fold), and keep it sharp. Don't ask for hot tea--ain't no such thing here. Be polite, even when you had rather punch someone--it could save you a lot of grief. Don't talk about how much better things are where you come from--you will politely be invited to return--RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, have a sense of humor, smile and wave back at folks, and you should have a good time. Enter the racetrack at your own risk.
