BS!!
Why sign a waiver then, if it's for INS?
What a scam race tracks have been running for years. Sign a waiver saying you realise the risks, and we are not responsible if you get hurt, but, oh wait, you pay more than the fans in the stands, because the INS for you is more expensive. Total BS!!
Now then, I also grew up in the 'Must be 16 to enter the pits rule'. And yes, I was snuck in a few times, and I lied about my age a few times. But when I was racing...starting at age 5, I was allowed in the pits at the kart tracks........
However, many a night, I sat in the stands with mom until after the races, then I could go down and see dad, and talk to my racing heros, sit in their cars, etc.
I also agree, that pit areas don't need a bunch of 'fans' wandering around. Especially pushing strollers, carrying babies, or whatever.
