We came down from North Central Illinois (dirt late model territory). Our drive time to Belle-Claire is around 3 hrs. 20 min. one way. We were certainly glad we chose to drive the 6 hrs. and 40 min. for the Saturday evening show. It had everything we want in a show. Great action on a well prepared track, well kept facilities, just 1 support class of good quality and the show moved along at a brisk pace even with just the right amount of attention given to the racing surface during the short down times. All that and we also got to set with and visit with some good folks we know from out West.

Following Saturday nights show the only disappointment we had was that we weren't able to attend both nights. We will make attending both dates a priority next year.

This is a fascinating issue. It reminds me of my trip to Terre Haute last year when I put my seat cushion on an end seat and went to the restroom. When I came back two distinguished sprint car experts had put my cushion on the floor and sat on my seat and the seat next to it! What's a mother to do?

Moving on, the real solution is reserved seats. You would not do that stuff in the reserved section at Tri State.

I understand marking a seat on day of race and expecting that you can leave and come back and get your spot. That is what I expected at THAT. But trying to reserve a nonreserved seat overnight when you did not pay for a reserved seat is going too far. If you did not buy a reserved seat, you do not own that seat the next day.

I was only playing by the rules I was told by three different people that where running the show. When I can I buy reserve seats. I have season ticket at TSS for my hole family and spend $85 for my four year old at smackdown when he could get in free!! Rules are rules where I come from and I play by them.
