Let us not start another topic on the person at the front gate at Kokomo and Gas city.We all know who we are talking about. I do not believe I have ever seen him smile and you are always greeted with You can't take that in.Once again the beginning of a great fan experience.I think some people on here are drinking the Kokomo kool aid.Let us hope the rest of sprintweek is better.than the start.

It almost seems that you guys cant wait to screw up the racing your so lucky you have.
I totally agree with folks being upset about the blankets, but the mention of boycotting races because of it is shooting yourself in the foot in the long run. |

I am another person that hates people putting down blankets. It is high on my list of pet peeves. I have never been to GC, but I know at many tracks that the blanket seats are actually taking away money from the promoters. How many times have you seen prime seats saved for someone in the pits. They take some of the best seats, and will seat in them for one heat and one main event. The rest of the night the seats are empty. People have to take really bad seats/ no seats while the prime seats are not being used.
I am one of the people that think there should also be reserved seating at every track. Price it reasonably. Another 2 or 3 bucks to have the best seats in the place. Devils Bowl in Dallas has been doing this for decades. Also, no pit wristbands in the reserved seating. I also find it amusing that when the O'Connors took over promotions at Gas City, it was generally accepted with open arms. They took it from being shut down to an operating track again. Now they are horrible people? Get real.

This was several years ago and I haven't been back since. I have no desire to go back after looking at taped blankets from top to bottom. I'm not going back to see if things have changed. Sorry.

I personally get annoyed with blankets but my 100% honest opinion is absolutely no saving seats in pits and if you do you get kicked out of the pits for that night. I've seen it a few times that people save seats in the pits and only go up there when their class is running so the other class crew members can't find a seat because stands are full and seats are saved.

But I've never gotten to a track in time to put down blankets early, live too far away Good racing trumps convenience, no? You can be comfortable & not wait in any lines sitting at home.... |
