I can tell you Mark, there's lot's of them around No. Miss. (40 or 50 of them) where i race most, and the last time we were at Holly Springs we parked next to one family with a 9 yr. boy and a 7 yr. old girl. The 9 yr. old was racing and his little sister was cleaning,cleaning, cleaning on the dragster. Thru coversation with the adults they told me she was going to be 8 in 3 wks, and the promise was (when she could drive)who every got the best reaction in time trials would run the car, in the race. Those kids were just a bundle of happiness, during the 5 hrs, we were parked there together. They acted more like adults than some adults that i know.
If i had little one's i'd definately get them started, i think it's one of the best learning progs. in the whole of drag racing and it definatly teachs them resposibility and respect.
