What is amazing is that even some of the track days at the full on road race courses allow passengers as long as you have the full safety gear. I have video to prove it, if anyone doubts that.

 

It takes all kinds... back in my bike drag racing days, Yellow Belly Dragway in Grand Prairie, TX, "allowed" the crowd to gather around the bikes and cars as they staged. There were times when I was staging my turbo EFI 1300cc air-shifted bike that I had to yell at people to get out of the way. Of course, those of you who've been to this track also know that victorious shooting-o-the-pistols into the air isn't uncommon either. It was a good place to make money, but in retrospect, I wasn't quite so smart in my youth to have gone there.
