Like everything else......It's not a problem until something goes wrong and then it's a tragedy.

Not every driver will catch fire during their career and many take fire proof items for granted. That is until you witness someone(or yourself) trapped in a burning inferno when seconds are hours and then it's "We have to do this and that to make the sport safer".

My stance is that no one should be allowed in the pits until 16, because at 16 you should have basic knowledge and commen sense and decision capabilities.

To say the trailer is a safe place is true to a point..... but I have seen more than one car end up in theirs or someone elses trailer.

Like I said, everything is good until it isn't anymore.

I guess for me, if you want to have your child in the pits thats your choice, but I don't want to hear about it when something happens and I sure don't want to hear about a tracks neglegence.

Of course, like I said: How will the next 10 year old phenom be able to make it without being able to get in the pits.
