Bryan is a CLASS ACT! Any pressure he feels from family or "racing community" is nothing compared to what he expects from himself. I think he uses that pressure as fuel to get better. That is a sign of a great person.

I think the bottom line is parenting. When parents do a good job... the children benefit.
I agree 100% he is the star that shines very bright. But for the very very few that are like Brian we all know of at least 10 that are on the other end of the spectrum . I'm not saying don't let kids race I'm saying should we start looking at age limits on national levels 13-17 limited sprints 18+ 410 national sprints as an example.
