The funny/sad thing is most of the really ignorant pit bike riding I’ve seen was done by adults.
Always kind of cracks me up with these "policies" in place. I'm sure the 16 and under riders are gingerly walking their bikes back to their pits after they come off the track. Meanwhile... underage kids, who don't even race/legit ride, run their quasi-tricked up rides round the paddock (despite posted rules) while their parents act clueless. smh.
But I digress. Thanks for the info D-Zum.
Crap. I'm going to have to be walking Musky around all weekend.

I remember last time I was at Barber I met a 12 year old, I think he was that old, that was riding in intermediate. I remember watching him on the track thinking how cool he was and wishing my childhood was that cool. The interesting thing was when he came off the track he was one of the slower riders when in the paddock, I guess he didn’t want to ruin a good thing.
Also I have always wondered,at least since I started riding track days, why don’t these venues offer some kind of riding for kids at the same time. When my kids get old enough and if they are interested I would love to bring them with me so they could ride too instead of just watching.
