I can only speak really for where we sit, but when we started coming there were only the barrels on the return alley. Now there is a fence that goes out from the bleachers. I have young children that I bring with me, and we sit there at the fence every time. However, even with the fence being there, I don't let them run around like banshees because accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, even with precautions in place. I've taught them from the first time that even though it's fun going out to the hill, that it's dangerous and they can get hurt, especially if they're not paying attention.

I agree with you guys...I was pitted on the back side last weekend, and the guy in the little coupe carried his car to the far end and turned around and just hammered on it. He almost hit 2 small kids...I almost had a heart attack. Seriously, they need to put speed breakers on that back stretch in the pit area to put a stop to this before someone does get hit.

The far end of the pits has way to many people making practice runs. I and several other people park down their and have had cars getting out of shape(spinning) and hopefully no one ever gets out of control and hits someone or something. As far as the return road, it is set up pretty decent. There is a speed limit that could be enforced a little better but people also need to understand this is a race track and the cars have the right of way on the return road. No one should be walking or driving across when a car is returning from a run. I for one have a pretty small radiator so I like to get back to where I am parked as soon as I can. I do slow down in front of the bleachers and until I round the corner. It is hard to see to my right over my hood scoop, I have had people walk in front of me from the right and never saw them until I was right up on them. For the most part, I think the crew do a pretty good job, but I agree that alot of people need to try and be a little safer out there. I for one have not noticed there being an accident out there every month, I think we have a pretty good track record considering the sport we are in. Hope you keep coming.
