First of all thanks to all who seem to have advice for me on how to raise my children. You are entitled to your opinion of me. I don't have to explain myself to anyone but just for your knowledge my two boys who are 9, and 11 have been around racing all their lives; been in the pits one time in all of those years and never leave the side of my wife and my father the entire time so I believe they are properly supervised.

For me being able to include them in something that my father and I do together is what I hope will breed as much love into the sport for them as what I have from racing with my father as a child. Them being able to hang around dad and grandpa all afternoon before settling in the pitside grandstand once the racing happens is a thrill. They feel as a part of the team.

Although we had motor problems all night a good time was still had by all because I was able to spend a lot of time with my wife, boys, and dad. After all isn't that what its all about.???
