I used to head out to the racetracks just about every weekend when i was younger, since my dad was a race car driver. I realised how much i missed it last night. Spent a great night with a good buddy of mine, having a few beers and some hotdogs...! Here are some pics. I got to see Jessica Zemken ride, boy can she drive a Sprint Car around an oval!! (1z car) She was wicked fast. Ended up 2nd in the final. Great race.

Nothing like a cold Molson and dirt in your teeth!!! And when i was there, you could buy BEER in the pits as the racing was going on!!! Try that at your local track in the stats!! LOL!!! Terry

I looked around the stands to see if it was a good idea to bring my boys there for their first time sometime soon. They just turned 4 (twins) and was hoping to introduce them to some racing, so they can see it live...Figured though a night race might be a bit too much though, due to the late hours? There are some tracks that have day races, maybe i'll start with those...Any thoughts? Any of you brought their kids at a very early age?

My Mom however took a dim view of it, (her being a nurse and all) reading Pop the riot act, saying my hearing may have been damaged (WHAT MA!). Apparently all is well, and at 46 I can still tune my guitars by ear, but it's something you might want to consider. I notice that at many venues you see small children wearing noise-canceling headphones, along with sunglasses to save their little retinas from scorching ...........................Blueaxe You only let off the gas to keep the wheels from spinning...

At 8 - 10 you get them into a Kart and go racing. Chuck "Speed Thrills" *http://www.CJent1Racing.com* c.herron@cjent1Racing.com

And agree with the big boss Shawn...its time these were done in 1/32. If we can have motorcycles that don't work and Mario karts...asking for these is not out of line "They Didn't Say You Couldn't" - Smokey Yunick

I started taking my kids when they were four years old. My kids liked going but they never became addicted to racing like I did but they did enjoy it at the time. Big Mike Never argue with a fool, they'll drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
