[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 489204, member: 1068"] [b]Re: How young is too young?[/b] But it's not. Sadly in today's society it isn't even close to being closed. Its wide ass open.... Do I have the answers on how to fix it? No. Even if I did, I don’t think it would matter. People in a general sense…are retarded; and I am just going to go ahead and say that someone IS going to die at one of these “races”. When that happens…a driver who had an accident, a park owner who just wanted to make a good place for people to ride, and the fans who witnessed the accident will all have their lives (both mentally and financially for some) turned upside down. This is America. You are free to do whatever you want and I am certainly not one to tell people what to do with their lives. But I am just going to say that this **** is getting REALLY dangerous, REALLY fast. All for some imaginary internet points. This isn’t (or shouldn’t be) a discussion on any specific child (or grown up) driver. Sure it got started on one specific girl, but let’s not get hung up on just her. I have seen way more dangerous **** done by grown ass men. It’s really a discussion on fan safety at sanctioned events. Fans that sometimes don’t know what they are getting into because they are just going to their first event. NEW wheelers. NEW fans. It is the responsibility of the business that is hosting the race to make sure those fans are safe…and unfortunately I feel like luck has been handling that so far. Again, I know they are trying and I know they are doing their best…but the fact is…it needs to be done better if this is going to last. I have heard MANY times “I’m just gonna mash my motor and hold on and not let up until I’m broke or at the top”. That’s all fine and good…but someone other than a driver will eventually get killed because of how many people are standing around while they stomp on the loud pedal. [/QUOTE]
