some people get there the day before or 5-6 hours ahead of gate opening.
Then there are the ones who get there as the races are about to start & expect to have good seats.i know there are a few that never show up to claim there seats.( this is wrong )
the only way you get my seat is fight me for it or show up 5 hours ahed of time.
It is against race track etiquet to mess with some one elses blankets,
thats just like going to the parking lot & moving my vehicle -- which is also a no no .
Good luck getting a good seat.
