Juniors

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

The cars raced 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 Series 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 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 all Jr. Dragster drivers, about 35
percent are girls. How's that for girl power?
