Nath, Fatz, Gonads -
Absolutely agree with everything you say there.
There are a couple of challenges:
1) How to remove the 'I am invincable' attitude of the youth drivers.
2) How to remove the peer pressure associated with youth drivers, etc (drink & drive, speed, be an idiot, etc)
3) How to make it financial viable to get youth drivers down to the circuit.
To all young guys out there - Us old guys have been thru what you are going thru - and guess what - It is not cool to do stupid shit on the street. We've all done it and regret it.
It is VERY cool to take it to the track.
