Default Re: Jr Dragsters At Divisionals

I can see the huge out pouring of Junior Dragter support here on clasracer... Congratulations Gump!

It's great to see at divisions because it really
Shows off the most basic form of "karting". I think it's special that we offer a place for the less fortunate children to show they too can have a place to strut their stuff.

I also like that it gives me more time at the track while they take their time to get staged and do mock burn outs to simulate warming up their tires as I reflect at the whole existential crisis of todays world of drag racing and where it has been and what it now has become.

At my local track they even went a step further and brought a "KIDS POWER WHEELS" class into to schedule. I'm so excited!
Class rules are as follows.
5 volts to 40 volt battery allowed.
Helmet required, Bicycle helmet is okay.
Gloves, long sleeve shirt, closed toes shoes, knee pads, elbow pads.
.500 sportman tree.
10 DOLLAR ENTRY FEE WINNER TAKES ALL
Unfortunately this class will not run the full 1/4 mile. :-(

I will start lobbying for all these under age classes to start running a full quarter mile because they deserve the whole track and not just the 1/8 mile.

Meanwhile in real Karting world of 7 year olds..
