Scoob
PR Founding Father
Yeah, it was called that the under 16 without a license thing would not be policed. Maybe it was per JO's comment below. I have nothing specifically to compare it to. Understood to some extent with the weather and the # of riders...maybe, but Kim and I watched 5 or 6 hellions, ranging from 6 to 12 or 13 I'd guess, drive, twist, turn, ride on the back, front, side, argue about who's turn it is to drive, that they had to pee, not watching for others at times, etc. until they almost flipped the gold cart. Good thing was shortly there after they quit or got shut down...I forgot.
I know I talked to at least 15 different "vehicles" Piloted by 7 to 11 year olds. I would first ask, Are you 16? = No, Do you have a pass for that thing? = No. I would tell them to park it and even try to follow them to there pit to give a "slight correction" up side the parents, head but not ONE would listen. Just look at you like F-U and keep going. I am asking all promoters of tracks that I will attend this year to give me permission to shoot.
Another kid, seemed to almost hit me on a little motorized scooter. I told Kim if he hit me, I would have asked if he was OK, if he told me yes, I would have picked up the scooter and slammed it too the ground, hopefully exploding it into pieces in hopes I could get his parents to come find me... Kim said them kids should have their arses whooped. I said no, not the kids so much, the parents of them kids...
In the end, no harm no foul from my standpoint, but it's more aggravating to hear, "we are putting the smack down on pit riding" and not see it than to have nothing said at all and letting it run rampant. Words are just words. They do not scare anyone really. Action is where it's at. Just sayin'...
Hey, did I tell you I had a blast yesterday?
