I was very frustrated when a friend living in the greater St Louis area came to the championships last year to see everything, but couldn't make it until Saturday afternoon due to a somewhat long drive and a work during the week. The badge desk had just closed and I was not able to show them the pits because the event staff would not let us through. Needless to say, not so inspirational. What is the purpose of this?
