The perfect world of soccer moms and politically correct schools where there are no winners and everyone who participates receives identical awards so feelings won?t get hurt just does not work in racing. From the youngest child to the oldest grandparent they all know too well who the winner of the race is at the checkered flag. This do-gooder mentality will do nothing to stop what has happened to the kid kart class and only make things worse. Children learn the lesson of winning and loosing very early in life and trying to make the class just an exhibition will not take away the competitive nature of racing when they see a kart in front of them. Nor will it change the parent?s perception and their desire to have their child out in front. If you believe that is not the case then you are looking at the world through rose colored glasses. How will eliminating a winner make a child feel any different when they are too young to understand the intended concept of an exhibition class?
Jim, how will this be any different if you control the class at your track when it is open?
