I had to admit having recently attended a practice day at Three Sisters with my two children (8 and 11) the "tented village" that was the pits was daunting for myself as an adult who used to race over 30 years ago with school never mind the impact on the children.

I found it difficult to approach people to find out information to in order to try avoid expensive mistakes as with two children interested it could get very expensive very very quickly.

I am sure that the willingness to help each other has not diminished since I last raced - it's just a lot harder to start a conversation through a wall and yes some of the notices outside awnings appear to be designed to keep people out.

Good job I am a persistent s*d but it looks like the kids first steps will have to be away from "normal racing" and with the indoor commercial tracks as the cost of kart hire/instruction is close to Ł800 each.
