 Get your Damn Mind right!!!

The best thing you can do as a Karting parent is get your mind right before you even show up at the track, SERIOUSLY!!
You as a kid karting parents and especially the (MOMS) who are often the biggest offenders, need to understand a few things about Racing in general.
Understand: Your child is not going to win every race!
Understand: This is the Indy or Daytona 500, and even if it was, there is still a proper way to act and "react"
Understand: On track contact and incidents happen and 99% of the time it is not intentional, it is do to lack of experience!
Understand: Disappointment is a part of racing, it is going to happen quite often, so get used to it.
Understand: Teaching your racer to be over aggressive is a mistake and eventually it will end of biting him/her.
Understand: To be a good winner, starts with being a good loser. It's called sportsmanship learn it, then teach it.
Understand: You racer will emulate your reactions at the track, if you are throwing stuff and screaming he/she will assume it is okay to throw stuff and scream.
Understand: The on track workers are doing the best they can, and they can not see everything.
Understand: The rules are the rules, if they are broken intentionally or unintentionally you should expect to be disqualified.
Understand: EVERYONE Is watching you, and this is why the "Kid kart class" has such band Rep!
Relax, Relax, Relax..... It will make your weekend, 1st or 15th place, much more enjoyable....
