I just remembered this comment. For me, it's great fun and a privilege. Being the main sponsor, chief designer, mechanic, pit crew, photographer, catering chef, physiotherapist, truck driver.. just fun. Can't explain it. Enabling my son to focus solely on the riding part, everything else taken care of on trackside.
I do encourage him to take part in the wrenching at home and luckily he does. I tell him that understanding the inner workings of the machine makes a better driver/rider.
July 2nd edit.. he posted his season best laptime on 2 stints. The best times he's done without someone giving a mental tow in front.
