A disabled auto racing fan is entitled to a view of the track unimpeded by standing able-bodied fans, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled, adding to a circuit division over the issue.
The court said that the California Speedway Corp. had violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12181 et seq., and a Department of Justice interpretive rule, DOJ Standard 4.33.3, requiring that wheelchair areas at auto racing and other public venues provide “lines of sight comparable to those for members of the general public.” Miller v. California Speedway, No. 06-56468.
