Track rights - family vs newbie vs experts - how do you balance it all?

The expert guy that gets pissy because he wants the track to himself can take a hike. That's a dumb attitude and is how alot of newer racers view all of us.
Plenty of time for fast laps early on race day when the track is closed.

WOW - first of all - excuse the forthcoming caps 
I am not trying to be rude, just make the point I have been trying to make all along
1) I AM NOT LETTING THE KIDS RUN WILLY-NILLY ON THE TRACK.
2) THIS IS NOT A "PRACTICE" DAY - JUST SOME RANDOM DAY WHERE NOTHING IS SCHEDULED
3) FORGET THE KIDS ON THE TRACK - FOCUS ON HOW TO SHARE THE TRACK
Ah! Glad I got that off my chest
I have run into a few other folks over the last few days - one very skilled driver who put his car in the pits and marshalled for me and gave me VERY good pointers.
On a different day, there was a skilled driver who wanted to do fast laps but when he found the family crowd, got pissy because he wanted things to himself.
Anyways, game on

People on the track that arent marshalling or watering are willy-nilly (love that word) in my eyes.If it's not a race day, it's a practice day.
I think everyone in here agreed on track "rights."
Most everyone I meet at the track are good people with a prick here and there to keep you honest
