If you have kids and/or fur children, I'd like to hear about your experiences at track days.
I'll likely have to start out flying solo to track days, as I will not have anyone to come along and hang out with my kids and dog while I am on the track. But I'm wondering if and when the kids (7 and 8) can come if there are things for them to do. We do like to camp together, and they are great kids but I don't want them to be bored. I'd arrange for them to be with grandparents or friends before I drag them to someplace where they'll be bored while I entertain my motorcycle fantasies.
Other sports I'm into (rock climbing, and in the past I did a lot of bicycle road and mtb racing, as well as cyclocross) have differing protocols and arguments when young kids and pets are involved. The bicycle racing community for instance is pretty kid friendly, though the road events are usually in the middle of nowhere (unless it's a criterium). Kids and dogs are an endless topic of argument at climbing crags.
So whats the deal at track days?
