Im all for trying to open their eyes to our feelings, but picket lines are serious Sh*#. Ive been apart of many being a Union member for 22 yrs with Verizon. There are many legal factors, you have to be a certain distance from the party you are picketing, and yes, they will have the cops disband things fairly quickly if it was done on track property. Plus you would have the "Pro Sportsman" crossing the line because of sponsorship committments and the fact that they do it for a living,things can get ugly.
I feel the only way to show them we are fed up is to show them an empty pit area at National events, sending letters and emails.
