Dan,

I certainly agree with you about the seats. Some of these people are bringing in seats that are almost as big as a LaZBoy recliner.
As far as coolers go, I don't drink beer but I do want to bring in water and some snacks. I don't go to Kokomo because the gate guard made me throw away a styrofoam cup of ice water. Kokomo can kiss my

BLoomington, Any size cooler, bring your own beer if ya want. FAMILYS OUT THE WAZZOO PACKED Hillside full of fans. Two concession lines non stop till mid features. The don't sell Booze at the track therefore LAW DOSE NOT APPLY!
Terre, Allowed coolers, Really didn't check for brew.
Burg, Cooler, Ice water and soda, Really helps with overal expense of getting to the track and then admissions
I often find myself once or twice a night stopping by the concession for a cheesy burger or Pretzel. Reguardless, It isn't a hastle or a Shock to have to shell out a ton just to stay hydrated and happy. Downside is No BYOB but it isn't too bad if ya wanna buy a couple
The bad, Gas City. No coolers, In a way i can see it, Their stands cant even hold the people comfortably. However, They don't shake you down are friendly and have the best concession stand and most choices in the state bar none! Wash..........

The UGLY. Kokomo. Don't wear a jacket or baggy pants, They litterally shake you down, Check every bag of any kind ect. Meanwhile a Drunkfest goes on in the parking lot where you don't actually know that your car is safe.
How can Kokomo have a fan apreciation day with this policy? They didn't make me feel apreciated on a normal show?????? The racings good, BUt I'll go elsewhere QUOTE]

Add to positive list:
Haubstadt............Coolers and food and beverages of you choice are allowed to be brought in at all times. They also sell your favorite brew if you forgot your cooler.............Excellent track food and attractive bartender to boot

All for naught, cause we can't get a race in for all of the rain right on top of the track.

Don't forget the transponder fee and 1 way radio fees. Its the racers responsibility to buy timing devices and communications for the tracks he runs at according to some of the "fans" that post on here.
