First off, I don't think the kids were "sent" out there. They wanted to be out there, they think it's fun.
Second, the parent of the kids didn't even drive (that I saw), he was socializing.

Revo2K, I personally didn't see you marshalling at all and I'm sorry if you did, but I didn't see it. I KNOW you didn't marshall for the same amount of your runtime. I really don't see how you can say anything about marshalls and how they marshalled when your the one that crashed. And the parent of those kids that you so kindly called deaf is a part of this forum and you may be confronted!


Having fun again!!!!

Not getting in on Revo2k's comments but reguarding the kids marshalling... it's not that I am not grateful or feel that they are being forced out there. I am actually kind of worried. I know that I got hit a few times and I feel like I was really paying attention. I feel that it is just too dangerous. A good hit from a buggy or MT on a small kid could break bones. I would feel terrible if something happened... I just don't like the situation.

You're correct, I shouldn't be criticizing people, and I would be out there if I didn't screw up my back and if it didn't hurt to stand around....I've been out there the past couple of times I've been to the track...Sorry if I offended anybody...

there was always and will always be kids marshalling the track. Slow down when your near them, don't try to take that technical section too hot, just slow down.


Having fun again!!!!

Hmmm... I think those last 2 were directed at me. I do... and I understand. I also know that that is not the case with everyone. I am just dreading the day a kid get seriously hurt at the track...

I didn't realize that the kids today were out their on their own, and sorry if what I said offended anyone. I know that when I used to take my son with to the track, He chose to marshal on his own as well, but I also pulled him off the track when the drivers started getting too wild, for his own protection.

Not sure if anyone remembers at the old track, I watched a guy walk in the door, wald his 6-7 year old daughter onto the track and tell her to flip over the cars when they are turned over. He then proceeded to walk into the pit area and BS with all his friends. about 15 minutes later, the girl got nailed by a LST running Full Throttle, which took her off her feet, and sent her shoe down the straight. When I finally found her father, he never even realized it had happened.

I'd hate to see the track end up closing it's doors because a kid gets hurt and the parents decide to sue.

It's just sad that a lot of the people involved in the hobby can't take 15-20 minutes (continuous) out of their day to marshall, when there are little kids, who aren't fully aware of the danger involved, are willing to go out there for hours on end.
