JUNIOR DRAGSTER PROGRAMS

If you haven't seen a Jr. Dragster, then you haven't seen the future of  drag racing. The  Jr. Drag Racing League offers kids ages 8-17  a chance to race half-scale dragsters in a controlled environment long before they can obtain a driver's license.


Membership in the Jr. Drag Racing League is required for competition.

The cars that Jr. Drag Racing League competitors race are called Jr. Dragsters and are half-scale versions of Top Fuel dragsters.  Using a five-horsepower, single-cylinder engine, a Jr. Dragster can go as fast as 85 mph and as quick as 7.90 seconds in an eighth-mile.

Competition in the Jr. Drag Racing League is equalized by a handicapped starting system, and classes are usually split into age groups, which helps keep racers of the same skill level together. This division of NHRA is designed to help build the ranks of tomorrow's stars while providing a fun family activity. And if you think that Jr. drag racing is just for the boys, think again. Of the Jr. Drag Racing League's roughly 35 percent are girls. How's that for girl power?

They compete at a local track level, divisional level, as well as at the Summit Team Bracket Finals, and the new Junior Team Finals Events. These events are contested on an 1/8 mile format on an ET dial your own format or a pre-set index on a heads up breakout basis. With three levels of Junior Dragster competition, it makes this class a great starting point for competitors to learn the basic of drag racing while promoting family fun.

ENTRY FEE $15.00
