For those that have already bought tickets, made plans to attend this race, or are thinking of attending, don't change anything. I'm been sworn to secrecy, but the reason for a "pause" in ticket sales is insignificant to all on here and it will all be worked out eventually. This race will happen on the dates scheduled.

I'm in total agreement of what you are saying about the reserved seats. I've had 4 very choice season tickets to Manzy (top row aisle seats about 10 feet before the start/finish line) for about 25 years, but usually only use 3 of the 4 so we can have some extra room (I give the 4th ticket to friends to use as a general admission ticket). The gentleman with the remaining tickets in the row does the same as me (the 2 of us buy the whole row each year).

In my opinion, the only way that the size 5 seats will be expanded to at least size 8's is by letting the staff know your displeasures. Unfortunately the nice lady answering the phones has no control over it, so venting to her won't do much, and it's really not fair to her. Possibly a letter to the track will help steer them in the right direction. I can assure you that all of you that have mentioned your displeasure aren't the only ones frustrated, and they can't fix it if they don't know it's broken.

Also, the camping area outside of turns 3-4 that was provided at the Western World will again be set up the same, so you can keep that in your plans if you motorhome or camp trailer it.
