Most racers are smart enough to watch their kids in the pits. They've seen folks get hurt at racetracks, so they know how dangerous a track can be. You want to see a place where the rugrats are in danger of getting run over because their parents aren't paying attention? Just check out the parking lot of any retail establishment in America. There you will see little ones running 50 feet or more ahead of their "parent(s)", often right out in front of cars in the crosswalk. All it takes is one person in a hurry, or on a cellphone, etc. who runs the stop sign in front of a store to end the life of a little kid who's folks weren't watching them.
