2019 Jr. Dragster Rules
1. Junior Dragsters must be towed or pushed by adults to the staging lanes. Under NO circumstance may a junior dragster be driven anywhere on the track property other than on the track itself and down the return road to the E.T. booth. Junior dragsters must be picked up by a tow vehicle at the end of the run and towed back to the pits. Street driven vehicles may not tow junior dragsters.

2. Junior Dragsters are to be driven by children ages 7 through 17. All competitors in Jr. Dragster will be run as one class regardless of the age of driver or E.T. of car (7.90 or slower). Cars will be paired at random by card draw.

3. Anytime a junior dragster is started, whether in the pits or in the staging lanes, a qualified driver must be seated in the vehicle.

4. No verbal or physical assistance in staging, by the crewmembers, will be allowed after the Junior Dragsters have PRE-STAGED. Crewmembers cannot touch the dragsters after they have crossed the “parent line” or been called forward by the starter. Participants may raise their hand ONE time to request the starter to back the vehicle out of the stage beam.  
5. No electronics are allowed in Jr. Dragsters.

6. Jr. Dragster Pairing Process - Pairing and Lane Choice - Determined by card draw Red for Right Lane and Black for Left Lane. High card gets lane choice. If the pair is side by side and the cards are a tie (ie: black 7 and red 7) another pair will be drawn to determine lane choice. The car in line for the bye gets lane choice and the bye carries over until it’s used or driver is eliminated from race.

*** Points will be kept for all Jrs and are eligible for IHRA bracket finals
