A good friend broke a front spindle because a Jr.'s starter was left in the staging lanes. I could go on and on but most of you know what I am talking about. Respect is what it's all about. A lot of these kids have no idea what that is. It needs to be taught before driving a dragster! Most parents don't see their children the way others see them. Like the father who couldn't believe his "Prince" and a friend cussed me out after they pushed their dragster out in front of me on the return road. This 10 year old would have made a sailor blush with what he said to me all because I had the nerve to be there! Nope don't talk to me about how "mature" you think your FIVE year old is. To most of them it's just a social outing anyway. Jim

I have dealt with that, but I have seen plenty of "adults" causing the same issues in the pits. I agree that some of these kids act like punks, but I have dealt with plenty of grown-up racers with the same entitled attitude and arrogance. I understand the starter issue, but that is a policing issue with the track, not an issue with letting kids race.
