I think my family and I will just hang around haubstadt and follow the MSCS so I don't need to worry about crap like that.
You would be suprised how many feel the same.
I live fairly close. Have went to the track very early even the day before and still had the blankets set up all over. I feel sorry for those, like you, that live a great distance.
I would rather make the drive a greater distance and at least have a fair chance at a decent seat.
I don't care as much about getting top seats anymore but the principle of the matter does still matter to people.
I think no set up in the grandstands until a certain time or have sections Reserved for those who pay for it like I think Attica had before for season ticket holders and Company employees of the tracks season sponsors.
