Default The newest drag racer gears up!

We (I) 've been talking about racing Jr Dragsters with the kids since Benjamin was born (almost). Well, Benjamin turned 8 last September, and it looks like we're going to make good on that plan. We picked up a Jr for him this past weekend, a complete t/k operation from a family who's son is moving into a door car. The package came with everything one might need, even a spare engine, carb, fuel jugs, starter, dolly, warm up stand, the list goes .....

Both engines are 8.90 versions, so rather than slow one down we'll slap a 12.90 version on for the NHRA tracks - but might run the faster version at the IHRA tracks. Benjamin is quite excited, and can't wait to race. But first we will go through some training sessions at a friends facility, along with him and his son who are also just starting out with a Jr. We'll use/do all the things that the Morroco's told us about.

Should be a boatload of fun this year! Here's a few pics.

What a great kid, and an awesome way to spend some quality time together.


You can just see his hand waving at ya!


Plenty of headroom for him to grow. The car is a 2002 HalfScale with a semi-laydown seat. Powdercoated molly frame, one piece glass body with custom paint, shock rear that is now a hard tail, Blockzilla, Polar primary, Gaged secondary, 2 weight tanks, belts in date, adj pedals, ....



We are thrilled, the neighbors..... perhaps not so much

so you bought the car with 2 motors that was on jrdragsterplus !! that was a smokin deal ! 2 8.90 motors alone were worth the price !
if you have any questions feel free to ask, although you found the premier Jr. site. just like here , a wealth of knowledge to be gained.
i can tell by the look on Benjamins face, that you'll be at the track alot. one time down and say goodbye to all your free time ! Congrats to Benjamin !! you guys will have a blast !

Yep, I thought that deal was too good to pass up! I was first in line, just caught the posting at 11pm last Tuesday night - seller said that the car sold in 8 minutes!

What an awesome way to spend time with your son. I'm sure you won't be able to get the grin off his face for some time Marlin, or yours for that matter! Have fun.
