Let me say this, as a driver some of the most nervous times we have is pulling into the pits after our event is over. The amount of people walking all over through the fire lane and the pit lanes is astounding. other cars pulling out in front of us, all of this usually encompassed in a vail of dust from all of the other cars pulling in at the same time. It is amazing that someone is not hit nearly every night.

That being said, for the most part most of the people not paying attention are adults wondering to their trailers not looking before they step. It seems to me in all of my years of racing I can't remember any children in the way but can remember hundreds of adults being morons standing in the middle of pit lane. I think most parents do a good job with their children in the pits. I said MOST... Personally I do not bring my children in the pits until after the races but that is just a choice made by my wife and I. I don't see anything wrong with it however and hopefully as my boys get older they will be able to spend some QT with dad in the pits... JMO
