Let's talk about this floor space thing for a second. Rob, this isn't directed at you, I only quoted it b/c you said it, in fact it isn't directed at anyone, more of an observation.
If you intend to sleep in a worker room and are NOT working, please be considerate (do that even if you are working) of those that have the RIGHT to that room. Working isn't easy, you stand around all day in the sun, watching people have all the fun/glory then you get to do it all over again the next day. Not getting a good nights sleep makes for miserable days. I don't stay up until 1am drinking and get up at 6am for the track anymore, maybe it's that whole 30yr old thing (even though I'm 26...), but would it really be a streatch for those that are driving to maybe get their own room and split it? I know going to the track isn't cheap, believe me, I know, but I have always managed to get my own room except for once where we put 9 people or so in a Shoney's worker room several years ago. Cramming a bunch of people into 1 room to save $25 isn't going to make for a good nights sleep for anyone, no matter what you say. Sleep is something you will wish you had as you space out and go flying into a gravel trap or fall asleep on grid the next day or get sick from exhaustion.
So please, be considerate if you intend to 'grab floor space' in a worker room, prepare to goto bed WHEN THE WORKERS DO, don't use their towels, don't make a bunch of noise during the night, pick your shit up, don't take their pillow's and for gods sake, if you snore, get some breath right's.
