I don't think that $2 for a seat is unreasonable. That being said they should have kept a couple of free sections at the end of the grandstand.
I would always opt and pay for the better seats closer to the wire anyway. Great view, covered, less crowded and fairly close to the windows.

That would be a reasonable compromise. If I was in it for the whole day, where I could sit and relax I'd pay the two beans. Otherwise it just chaps me. And it's always a tough sell (pun intended) to start charging for something that has been free for decades with absolutely no improvements. It's akin to putting parking meters on every side street in your town. Money grab.

I've always had to pay a couple bucks for the grandstand seats by finish line.
