Minimum age...

[martininsocal]

Are they any promoters that allow minors under the age of 16 to ride as passengers during races? I want to get my son some seat time during races before he ever thinks of taking the wheel. So far I have hit a dead end, as they say they want a minimum age of 16 because they don't want to deal with a parental consent form.

For MDR the min age is 15, but you do need a consent form that is notarized. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but thats what I know.

Martin,Score's age restriction is no one under the age of 15 years old will be able to compete.See the Baja 1000 bulletin on the Score web site for all the specific's.I also believe the Fud series is open to people under 16 also.

I think one of the McMillin kids drove at a Fud race at age 14. I think he won class 1 too.

Martin,
We just had this conversation with Fud and I think he's open to the age limit for passengers as long as all the consent and waiver paperwork is filled out.

Cool- thanks folks for the info. I have to turn in my vacation request for next year and which races we go to will depend on riders. I need to get him into the passenger seat because he can almost reach the pedals and I am afraid one day I will come home and find something missing from the garage!

I've got a schedule somewhere, I'll post it when I find it. You can always count on the Dunaway Dash on New Years Eve. Thats usually a very good turnaout and party to follow. This year's Dunaway Dash is also the "Jimco challenge". Jimco is inviting all class 1, 10, and 1/2 1600 Jimcos to race for a bonus purse. To bad my Jimco 9 car doesn't qualify...lol
