At 16 you have a lot of life and time ahead of you. Soon enough you'll be legal to race at any speed assuming you have the required safety equipment. Then the real fun begins. I commend you for racing at the track. Most kids that race do it on the street risking thier lives as well as innocent motorists caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. You sound like you got a good head on your shoulders and I wish you luck with your appeal to IHRA.
Now cut your hair, get a job and stop being so lazy. What didn't everyone hear that on a daily basis at 16? I know I did

I'm not sure about IHRA, but I remember them being pretty strict with the rules back when my brother used to race.

I have a 12 year old son that might be interested in doing something like that. Maybe I'll look into it and see what's up in my neck of the woods.

Re: Banned From Jr Drag racing
joe-
that car would not be legal because its not powered by a lawn mower engine!
sounds like bs to me. if you run fast once, and then work on dialing it back i dont see the issue. just like if I run "A" 9 sec pass, I dont get booted for a YEAR for not having a comp license.
SOUNDS like there is more to it, buy maybe not
