    Do you have a camper? Its tough for the little ones at the track as there isnt much to do but play on tar. And cant ride bikes in the garage area.... Like someone said, they are working on a playground so that will help.

    But if you dont have a camper, that might help your situation.... give the kids a place to play and a spot for your wife to relax with AC/Shade.

    Why not research family activities in and around the Loudon/Concord/Lakes Region so the family can come and not have to spend the day at the track, but then they can be there and hang out in the evening? There are actually quite a few things to do, even if it is just head out to the park (of which there are several in Concord) for a couple hours, head to the mall, or go to Weirs beach. They could head to the outlets in Tilton, go fishing on the Merrimack River, or visit the Kaleidoscope Children's Museum or the Romp and Stomp Playroom (in Chichester or Epsom).

    A big plus one on that!

    Each consequent time I bring a girlfriend to the track I explain more and more that during the day I am there to race and I probably won't have time to spend entertaining her. With that understood, I will bring her

    Oh and none of that "I'm going to bring 3 separate large bags for 3 days!" Not going to have that conversation again.

    Re: Who else brings their wife and young kids?

    Man, my gf loves coming to the track even when I dont have much time for her. She helps with my warmers, reminds me to check my pressures when I come off the track, cooks lunch, keeps the trailer clean, and keeps herself entertained. At first I kinda felt like I was dragging her to the track, but after a while and she became friends with everyone, she is as excited about going as I am

    My wife used to go with me to pitbike events, but she disliked it for the same reason I gave up on it, the participants were all spoiled, over competitive selfish whiners. LRRS on the other hand is a big, happy family in comparison, even if portions of it are (in her words) undersexed hornballs. : )
