I don't post much, but thought it would be appropriate for this topic. I think it is dangerous no matter when they are allowed in the pits. That being said, I want my children to be able to see what their dad does at the race track. I want them to be able to tell other kids their age what the racing experience is like. When my children are in the pits, they are being watched and they know to watch out for everyone. I have more of a chance loosing my children on the way home from a race track than I do loosing while we are at the track.

Some have said wait till the racing is over, then you have these big haulers trying to get out of the facility. They cannot see any better than the sprint car that is flying in off the track. I think it is worse after the races. Way more people and the teams are in a HURRY UP mode to get out of the pits. Just my opinion, and I know everyone has one. Go ahead and rip me apart.
