Jim,
At the kart races they race many different classes the same day the kid karts run. here is my son in his kart. I asked NHRA at the time why they wouldnt lower the age to 5 but they said no. At 5 yrs old you would be surprised how smart, quick, and fast some of these kids are in a kart and on dirt bikes. Yes you may get a kid once in a while who needs some time to get it but who cares, its new blood into your sport.
Going straight should not be a problem. Im sure the nhra was losing out to kids going to the WKA to race karts.
