While some of the kids in Jr. dragsters, and for that matter, their parents, are out of control, (about like a lot of other children and their parents in a lot of sports), it is very unfair to label them all with that same dubious title.
Further, they're no worse than some of the adults. While few of the kids from Jr. dragsters end up in Stock and Super Stock, they still bring people to the sport. Sorry Jim, but you're wrong on this one.

Nope Alan you misquoted me. I NEVER "labeled them all". Just the bunch who needed calling out. I'm not wrong and you just backed me up: "While some of the kids in Jr. dragsters, and for that matter, their parents, are out of control, (about like a lot of other children and their parents in a lot of sports)" Thanks, Jim .

So Jim, what age is okay to start then. Teenager? No, they are a bunch of teenage punks. Twenties? No, if they can afford a car, then they must have been handed it by their parents and are spoiled brats. Thirties, forties.... The fact is, all age groups have their fair share of idiots. When I drove juniors, I dealt with kids who took racing seriously, and ones who were a hazard. But you know what, I still do when racing adults. By starting young, you at least have a chance to teach the kids the basics of racing and safety before they get into a faster adult car and kill themselves or someone else.

In my opinion JR. Dragsters should only run at stand alone events. I have no problem with the concept, just the fact that they run at events with full size cars and slow down the program.
