Now that right there is just B.S.. If a kid wants to race, he's going to race and there's plenty of reasons why that kid shouldn't/wouldn't want to race. But many tracks have very good "Friday Night" programs that DO attract the kids and can get them started in the right direction.
Ya know, another thing that needs to be done that I never see anybody on here talking about is personally mentoring a kid or 10. I had a kid in my shop just last night who I've got to get to the track next year. He needs help with his 08 4.6 Mustang that he put a Pro Charger on and now, he can't get it to "hook". He knows the programming end backward and forward but he needs help with the suspension stuff.
P.S. I told him that I know a guy that races a 08 CJ Stocker and has gone some low 8s with "Stock" suspension. I think that this Yo Ken guy is his new hero!
