I can't say the day wasn't packed as far as sessions (because it was) , but I also don't think its up to the organization hosting the track day to micro manage drivers on the track just so they can get "clean" laps either.
If a track day driver can't figure out that they might need to sandbag it a bit to create some space for their flying lap based on what the overall traffic is doing then it's probably not the orgs fault.
There have been instance where my times have slotted me behind someone that wasn't renting a transponder; was I a bit confused, yes, but at the same time this isn't a competition. Hang back, see their line, if you are legit driving a fast pace than them then whats the problem if you pass them (within the rules of the org) in the Advance and Intermediate session, at least you possibly learned another line for the future, at most you create a gap and set up your flying lap.
I'm not saying its ok to overbook a track day, but after a certain point you have to manage your track time a bit since you paid for it.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
23 Car in my Run Group that day. Was girded towards the middle. Spacing yourself is possible friends.
