Please read my post concerning this issue and a possible solution. The racer's kids who run J/D seem to run pretty tight routine. It's the wealthy wall street mommies and daddies trying to outspend the neighbor down the street, doing this as a passing fad that needs to be filtered out.

Everyone wants to "take in the moment" with their kids. But there are serious racers at LODRS event with serious equipment where these JD racers already need to learn respect, or there won't be anymore REAL race cars at these events. 5 yr olds will only make it worse.
