He "retired" a couple of years ago. The fun had gone away for him, I
suppose. He's now getting pretty heavily into whitewater sports, hence the
original source for this information.

To my mind, it could mean that you have to be 18 simply to ATTEND an
autocross. All minors on site must have their parents sign our liability
waiver. This could create a problem for those that bring their kids along...

I was in my 20's when I attended my first autocross, but I went to lots of
road races as a kid. Spent lots of time in the infield at Blackhawk, Road
America, Mid Ohio and the like. It may not have been the case back then, but
wouldn't I have to sign a waiver for my kids to go to the
infield/paddock/pits of these tracks now?
