Blackhawk

[f3racer]

I'm going to the Learnign curves school at blackhawk the 22nd. i will be bringing my children  10 and 13 yrs old.  What are the rules as far as where can they go?  I called Blackhawk already and got their rules but what about CCS? They are at NJMP and cant answer the phone.

The layout at Blackhawk is extremely spectator friendly. 

Specators have the run of the entire interior of the track which is where the paddock is located.  There is chain link fence which limits how close you can get to the track.   

On Hot Pit spectators under 16 must stay behind the fencing. 

You must be at least 16 to drive a motorized bike or cart but bicycles are permitted for all ages.

The track actually reminds me of a State Park with tons of big shade trees and great spots for camping.  You'll usually see several big bonfires going each night. 

Very family friendly.

awesome thanks

The biggest thing is getting them used to bikes zinging around in the paddock.  It's too easy for an unfamiliar tween to run out onto a paddock road during 3rd call and get clipped.

To add to what Burt said.

Make sure your kids watch out for ALL traffic. Alot of spectators drive around and some are not so attentive to where they are driving. Especially around the pavilion, tower and tech building. Seems to be a magnet for stupidity with spectators.
