Junior Drag Racers at Lancaster Motorplex

What Are Junior Dragsters? 

Junior Dragsters are specially designed race cars made for young drivers between the ages of 6 – 17 years of age. These vehicles are smaller in size and have scaled-down engines, making them perfectly safe for your son’s, daughter’s or grandkids who are just starting out in racing. The cars typically reach controlled speeds, providing a thrilling yet manageable experience for budding drivers. With categories for various age groups, every racer has a fair and fun chance to showcase their skills.
