In an area where the average parent can't afford a JR dragster it's very popular. Some of the kids have graduated to running the regular bracket program and are very good. For more info, check out their website.
TCR (Teen CHampionship Racing), for kids 13-17. The track I work at weekly (Quaker City in Ohio) has it also, as do Pittsburgh and maybe a few other tracks. Great, and more affordable alternative to Jr Dragsters. As Billy stated, street-legal cars only, 10.00 and slower, 1/8 mile. Child drives the car from staging lanes to timeslip booth; parent/adult co-rider navigates the vehicle through the pits.
