It was a great day despite the many challenges we faced. We extremely appreciated the tickets. Disabled veterans like myself appreciate being able to attend events that normally are not available to us because of disability. Thank you NASCAR for supporting us. That said; when we arrived, there was no handicap parking near our bleachers, so had to hike more than we expected to. The folks in those spots didn’t have any plates or markers for using those spaces ON TOP of them tailgating and taking up multiple spots. We followed the guidelines of items you could bring in, only to find out the fans don’t follow the rules. I bought stadium seats with no metal in them as the track website SPECIFICALLY said no metal seats allowed. No hard sided coolers but what do we see… Folks wheeling them in. The one guy who was stopped about bringing one in, pitched a fit and the guy let him through. The scanners I pre-rented were not where they were the last time we went and every staff member I asked said they weren’t sure where they were. Finally I spotted someone carrying their scanners and asked where the vendor was located. He told me in the infield midway area. So from our grandstand seating, I had to walk to the grandstands by turn 6 and cross over the bridge. By this time I’m nearing full boil as I try to walk the midway, only to be slowed by those standing in groups in the walkway to have family reunions! Keep in mind that these are the same oblivious morons who ride in the passing lane and stand in the grocery aisle blocking the way for others. Again, these are people who have no manners or consideration for others and are proud of it and basically dare you to say something. I finally get to the scanner concession and I tell the lady I rented online and she says I should have received a voucher (which I didn’t), and she says I need it to get it! At this point, my patience is gone and I tell her she better call her supervisor, because here is the receipt for the purchase. She got an attitude and then just looked up my name and saw I was on the list. SOOOO, after the long trip back to our seats, I plug everything in and the one headset has a short in the wire and I basically have to hold it in one position the entire race. I know it sounds like we didn’t have a good time, but we did. I’m chalking this up to just a series of unfortunate events, because we have never experienced them before at Watkins Glen. Any recommendations going forward would be SECURITY! More security or track staff walking around and keeping the clowns in check. Not just for fights, but to ensure that they behave in a manner that society expects. I had a friend who was planning on attending but decided against it last minute. It was probably a wise decision given our PTSD. I would have hated that he didn’t have a great experience.
