Mike,
IMI is a bad example. It was only a matter of time before something like that occurred there. I am amazed it didn’t happen sooner! When you mix little kids, rentals, 4-cyle, 80cc, 100cc, 125cc on the track at once bad things are bound to happen. I would never let either of my son’s on the track at IMI with how the non-race day track time is operated. It is dangerous especially for the little kids. They go so slow. I do not know another way to state it. I think J.B. has it correct at his track with regard to non-race day track time.
Irregardless of my opinion, the track owners are in the end responsible for what occurs on their track. If they can not, at minimum, always, always, always make absolutely sure that karts enter and depart the track in the corect direction then they should be forced to shut down. There will always be that one person who doesn’t know the rules or just isn’t bright enough to follow or understand them.
One last thing Mike, if all the tracks shut down I will build my own so don’t you worry. 😀
This may be an unpopular thing to say but so what,
Tom
