We got there before the gates open early and get at the front of the line and everything from the 6th row up was covered. We pay the same money as the people who live there or go to the track every week. They should be treated the same as us for Sprint Week.
I guess that is USAC and the tracks saying they don't want us out of staters coming to speedweeks. At least the promoter at Kokomo appologized for it. I make the trip from Missouri to Gas City and a few other tracks a few times a year for the weekly shows and they have always been great. This has been my worst experience there by far. getting a call last night to head home because of work didn't help I will admit At the big shows here any blankets put down before the ticket gates are open get taken up. They don't even allow those from the pits to put them down until the ticket gates open. For Sprint week I drove 1500 miles to get screwed. |

The track lets it happen but the problem was to many fans not enough seats. They were giving pit pass out because there was not enough seats.

If I owned a track I would let my regulars keep their blankets down all year just like Gas City. Those are the people who keep you in business week to week so that there is a track there for sprintweek. In my business I always reward my loyal customers with little perks and I would guess most business men do too.

saving seats before the gate opens is crazy! even in the pits a row was marked off and nobody ever showed up so we sat in them for the final features. the track officials need to take better care of their fans. i have seen on previous friday nite shows where people marked off way more than they needed. always something to ruin the nite these days. people are just too inconsiderate.
