The difference is that members of the public and venue owners and operators are bothered and we lose venues. Not so much of a problem in France reportedly. There are places in the world where it is ok to walk around naked and other places where women must be covered head to toe and are not allowed to drive cars or be in public unescorted. Many places picking your nose in public is ok. In Singapore it is illegal to use chewing gum for non-medicinal purposes. None of this means that these standards apply here or should apply here.

I have seen people relieving themselves by the roadside often. This includes men, women, and children. Seems the US is touchy feely in all sorts of things. Still not advocating this on venues where there is a risk to racing but we honestly need to grow up some I think.

I made a stupid decision and feel I need to pay for my mistake. I admit I was being lazy and regret my mistake. I am going to pay the race promoter back for both races and make a $200 donation to the school. I learned a valuable lesion and it will NEVER happen again. Please forgive my ignorance.
