Re: Dogs at the Track
 

What it really comes down to is a lot of people in this world are just very inconsiderate of other people around them. It happens everyday, from the person driving 50 mph in the hammer lane, the people walking at a snail's pace 4 wide down the aisle at wal-mart, and all the other things mentioned before. People just do not take other people into consideration these days.

Re: Dogs at the Track
 

Couldn't agree more. There are a lot of people who have an attitude of "too bad," or "I don't care," or worse. See it all the time in restaurants too, with parents letting their kids run amuck, or sitting there doing nothing as their child is screaming and crying while others are trying to enjoy their meal (including others with children who actually know how to behave, or parents who know to take a crying baby outside until calm). Then, they have the nerve to glare at you while you're taking it all in and shaking your head in disbelief. It's really a sad, sad situation.....

Well stated!

At the gators this year ray miller walked his boxer to my pit to do his his duties. I politely ask him to not do that. It was pretty much in between my race car an my trailer. He acted like a azz and let his dog crap an then he walked off like he was some sort of king. I think the dude is a douchebag now. And I will never ever consider a miller car. I hope I have to crap one day when we are at the same track because I am going to return the favor.

I have the cutest little poodle but she barks at every moving object. Lol she gets to stay home in the air with a sitter.

He would have found it on the hood of his car if it had been me... "Excuse me, you forgot something..."

I love dogs, but that was just a low class move

Re: Dogs at the Track
 

The dog taking a crap in another person's pit spot story is absurd, but other than that, you guys are at the race track. If you want peace and quiet, you have the wrong hobby. Maybe HR9121 should learn some consideration for other people driving around him when he decides to get in the "hammer it" lane and disobey speed limits. Maybe SSGT should learn some consideration for families with young children when your shaking your head at them in disbelief, obviously oblivious to the challenges of parenthood as small children go through different phases of development. Consideration is a two-way street.

Hmmmmm!? Interesting. I have children. And, one thing I know is that I have a responsibility toward them and how they behave. If I am in a public place, I have the basic social skills to recognize that I am likely not the only one there and that the people around me shouldn't have to suffer from my child's (or children's) misbehavior. Especially, when we as a family go out to dinner.

Case in point: I was in a restaurant recently (a pretty nice restaurant) with my wife and children. The place was fairly full, and in walk this couple with their two 8-10 year old kids, who proceeded to watch videos on their phones at full volume, play video games and run around the table, when, of course, they weren't yelling or complaining about something. The parents didn't even seem phased that everyone around them was staring at them in disbelief, including the staff. There was a room full of people trying to enjoy a peaceful meal out on a Saturday night, only to have it ruined by parents who are at the very least inconsiderate and boorish.

I have seen this happen (or something similar) too many times to count, including crying babies that need to be taken elsewhere to calm down. It is inconsiderate and classless to afflict others with bad manners and carelessness.

Re: Dogs at the Track
 

Really??
Listening to race cars is one thing, someone's barking dog is not even on the same subject. Someone's pets barking is the same as someone's kids misbehaving. The passing lane is exactly that a passing lane, if someone wants to exceed the speed limit that is there prerogative. Law enforcement can enforce the speed limits, but get out of the passing lane.
As for someone's misbehaving kids, grow some balls and deal with correcting the behavior and take them out, or leave. Others are there to have pleasant conversations, and your screaming and misbehaving kids are a reflection of the parent and their parenting. Who is in control? The kid or the parent? This is the future of our country and the crap our poor teachers have to deal with daily! Get a clue, and if you want to make comments show your name for credibility, otherwise your just another troll.
