These Junior Dragsters and are half-scale versions of Top Fuel dragsters; using a five-horsepower, single-cylinder engine, they can go as fast as 85 mph and as quick as 7.90 seconds in an eighth-mile.
Competition with Junior Dragsters 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. 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.
