Some parents should have to take lessons.
Some parents should either take lessons in being a parent, or try racing themselves before they put so much pressure on their kids. We found a little boy that was hurt and scared on the track, but he was more worried that his dad would be mad and never let him race again because he didn't do good enough. He couldn't move his thumb and had hit his head, but he was only worried about his dad being mad, the kid was only 7 years old. The emt's looked him over and asked if he wanted to try to keep going, he was so worried about his dad he took off, but we saw him 2 minutes latter with the track crew and the medics going back to his pit. I believe in not giving up, but not in riding hurt to make someone else happy. If his dad was a racer he would be proud no matter how he did, as long as he had fun. My boy finished 15th in the 90 limited 8-11, but i was happy that he had fun and finished in 1 piece.

Somerset right? Yeah I talked to the track worker after he brought the kid back. Kid was a little guy. Said the kid was really upset about his dad not letting him race.
I had one finish 14 in 8-11 modified and one 9th in the 12-15 modified (after rolling down the hill into the woods).
