I don't know if its right or wrong, Unfriendly or whatever you want to call it.

Without getting personal. I believe it is the parents decision if the track allows it.

That being said, I've seen some very dangerous incidents or near incidents in the pits. Cars breaking and vearing into trailers. Wheels go flying through the pits (From the track) and some very tight situations like Fremont where I couldn't believe they actually let cars drive through there under power.

I've seen drivers flip into their own hauler . Seen drivers fly off the track and fly through the pits about 70mph until getting stopped *Jeff Gordon*

Seen cars chase other cars at high speeds through the pits without regard to anyone elses saftey just to *HAVE AT IT*

Seen sheet metal and bars hanging several feet of to the side of a car that even if you thought you were clear, You didn't expect that!

Seen multiple instances of cars catching fire in the pits while the crew were out on the track taking a few minutes to respond.

Even fully aware of the danger and doing everything I can to stay out of the way. I've almost been clipped twice.

Dangerous, Well I rode a tricycle down a flight of concrete steps at 4 years old. My brother fell through a open cold air return crawling thorugh the kitchen at 14 months falling all the way to basement floor. the one time dad had the cover off it.So the racetrack isn't the only thing dangerous.

Stay safe all.

I will say this. A good lawyer a lame a*s judge, and a waiver isn't worth the paper its written on.

As for having to pay? Every person is subject to make a claim at some point. Right or wrong should that person have been covered if they didn't pay? Kid or not?
