Holy Cow! Use just a little bit of common sense. Once a year Sprint Week occurs, fans from all over come to visit Indiana, eat a Tenderloin, talk racing, Sandys Pizza, Union Jacks, wish I had corn on the cob I'm my area, attend all the tracks and have fun.

I understand the blankets, but just this one week give it up, let everyone have a chance at a seat. It probably isn't an issue any other week. Most tracks you can see from anywhere anyway. Cut the promoters some slack.

I didn't know they had the two board seats at Haubstadt? Is that on the backstretch? I always sit on the front stretch. I have graduated to a two board one, so thanks for letting me know.

Actually, you should count your blessings when your main complaint is a blanket issue at a race track!

Just my opinion but I don't think that you should have Stadium seats for the bleachers just take a blanket and set on it. because I was at Kokomo couple weeks ago there's a guy with a stadium seat you couldn't walk behind him when he leaned back and makes it unbearable for people to get through

I really think it's all USAC's fault.

I'm glad the O'Connors took the chance on opening Gas City, for any or as many nights as they see fit. I only wish my schedule allowed me to be there more often.

The situation may not have been handled well. At all. But at least there was racing.

I get the purpose of putting down blankets. The same can be accomplished through reserved seating. Of course the management of that would probably take a dollar or two upcharge. But it would hold seats.
