Since Bobby's thread has gone way off topic, I thought that I would start a new one on the role of Jr's in NHRA competition.

My opinion is that there are no negatives. The Junior program is a great educational opportunity. It brings families together. It also adds a little income for the hosting facility.

These kids are the future. Sure, a good percentage will move on to something else. On the other hand, we have quite a few kids that came from Jr's racing with us in Stockers in Division 2.

I will add that six of this year's Champions came from Jr's.
