Couple of thoughts here, one i wish kids would have to wait longer to strap in. 16 minimum is what i would like to see, but know it will never happen. Boards are a good idea and would work a few tracks, but at others the parents would just buy there way in. I fully agree with your statements on drugs and aplaud u for that. Chase may disagree but will respect you for it. On the comments about family men not being able to race, I will agree with you on the point that you should only race if you have the means, I.E. be able to pay your bills and eat. But I think its a bit xtreme to say they should not race because they have a family. I know 2 people killed lat year doing harmless things with there family. 1 guy was walking into an event with his family, when he steped in a pot hole and fell into the wheels of a trailer. Enough about that. This will always be a tough subject. I do wonder though, if there were rules inplace for kids to be 16 or 18 to run a sprint car, would we see smaller classes become steeping stones again?
