I don't have any problems with the tracks doing what it takes to get fans to attend.

But...my issue with some seat saving is... safety. Some tracks that allow folks to come in early and save seats have the aisles blocked with coolers and blankets and "stuff" and there are only two entrances to the rows at some of these tracks. So you have to climb up the empty seats from the bottom to get the seats in the middle.

Seems the races I attend folks like to save seats and sit up their chairs..etc.. right on the aisle. My wife's pretty acrobatic but she slipped making the climb at a track where the board seats are only 6-8 inches wide, because the aisles were so blocked. This wasn't at the top either, something I think operators should think about.

Probably 95% of the races we attend are no where close to sell outs, and you can literally see from anywhere at a 1/4 mile track so I am not sure what's the hub bub on saving seats.
