Just thinking out loud here, but if you allow racers to stay overnight inside the track, wouldn't you need someone to man the gate all night ?

I'm not sure Dallas would leave the gates open unmanned.

Just a thought

Might be a liability issue.

I suspect most tracks have a umbrella policy covering their place 24/7

No i believe that he might miss gate money on one person, yes it is his show, and people

If it were me and I was the decision maker or owner of a track I would have to realize that the racers now a days have time on their hands .
They can show up early cause they can and chose to.
So I would welcome them with open hands and Open Pits as early as possible on a first come first serve with only one pit space being able to be saved for one friend only .
I would have all kind of services availability for them and their wives and friends . such as a tour or RV services or another service to make MY Customers feeling needed and happy to spend their money with my track .

Now since a track has to pay for overhead I would even charge an early fee to cover the early overhead costs that was create . The fee would be moderate and fair for all cause the racers are the entertainment in most causes and in most cases would not mind paying for this .
The early pitting would alleviate the huge rush for the late arrivals so there would be no need to hire extra staff all Pitting would be much orderly and calmer

Buy a track and show how it is done, Don.

Take a look at the Beech Bend schedule,I don't know if there is another track in the country that host as many different races as they do,they know how to run a event and get it done.
