Allen, thanks for the kind words.
Re the young boy, the loud bang actually scared him quite a bit when the bonnet fell. In general, however, I do think that we should't push the kids away now, if we want them to embrace the hobby in the future. There are far too many 'Don't Touch' signs on cars at shows. We have a show here in Orlando that gives a 'Kid Friendly' windshield placard to each show car.
