Whaaaaa?????? Sorry Nizzles, but where in the hell do you race at!?!?!?! LMFAO!!! That's just awful, if that's really true. Are you sure the track/race director is aware of their disabilities/condition? I can't believe that at all!

I tell ya what though, I think that they shouldn't let people marshal if they're under the age of 13. Often times, you get the wonderful luck of the draw, and some of the experienced drivers, bring their whole damn family along with them for a full race day (not just an evening or afternoon club race... mind you). So since they drug their entire family along with them, they have no alternative for 'babysitters', so instead they sign their kids up to race in a class.. And I mean really!!!!??? C'mon dude, have common courtesy/respect for your fellow racers. I'm sorry, but just because your wife is mad that you wanted to spend the day/weekend away from your family, doesn't mean you have to bring them along to bore them, because you think "it'd be a good/fun idea for the kids". Sure, on any other day of the week, but not on a legitimate RACE EVENT day. Sorry, but that just pisses me off.. Because then you get the kids in the heats/qualifiers driving backwards, sitting in the middle of a jump/landing, slamming into you, as you come around to lap, etc. That's just nonsense.

Like I said, yes the hobby is a FUN, FAMILY-oriented hobby.. But that doesn't mean you can't do the same thing for your kids, during practice or on another day, say when it ISN'T a points event, or doesn't involve a purse prize. That's just retarded. Lol.

Oh and then to let them be a marshal for the next race!?!?!! Now that's just straight irresponsible of the parent/track director, to even allow that.


GRRRR

End rant lol.
