I have been on both sides of this discussion. Live close to the Burg and usually go down and mark my seat the day before the race if I have time. Only for the big shows, not the weekly shows. We have a group of us that usually sit in the same area week in and week out. On Saturday I was on the other side of this as I arrived at Gas City and had to sit on the 3rd row in turn 4. I didn't and wouldn't complain about where I had to sit, I was glad to be at the race and it was my own fault that I didn't leave home earlier and get a better seat. That was the choice I made, stayed home and mowed some grass and left later than I should have. However, I really don't think it is fair for seats to be saved and NO ONE shows up to sit in them. The way this works is just like I witnessed Monica Clauson do it on Sunday at Kokomo, they had some seats saved and the crowd started getting big and she came over and removed the cover and let other people sit there. Racing has been great the first 3 nights, can't wait for Weds. (hopefully I will get a good seat) Just Kidding. Bob Bressert
