I could not live with myself if i allowed kids in the pits for free and one got ran over. It has happened before and will happen again.
When i use to drag race it was great!! everyone was allowed in the pits. but you did'nt have 20 cars coming off the track at one time. it was only two spaced out and those cars were usaully towed or drove slow. I will continue to think of a solution for this problem.
Thanks, Dave

Perhaps a solution to think about, Allow the fans into the pits before the race like Gas City does. I think they charge like a dollar and that dollar goes toward the 50/50. You must pay and sign a waiver to get in and then you get 1 50/50 ticket. When you come out, you scratch your name off of the waiver list. That way you still have a list of who is in the pits. They used the gate to the pits from the inside of the track so that everyone had already paid their general admission. Maybe this would allow more driver/ fan interaction and be a good compromise. I know that by the time the races are over and I take my daughter to the pits, a lot of guys are loaded up and leaving for their long trip home.
