I am in the same boat as you, never raced on the drag strip before, but going to give it a go, although I am going on the Friday to see what times I can run ... then if I enjoy it, will sign up for the Saturday ... otherwise I will just take photos on the Saturday ;)
Daz you've got nothing to worry about...you got one little pit chickie who is going to be there and tell you that you are doing it all wrong...

I am not sure if there is a age rule, if there is no rule on age as long as he has a helmet long sleeves and pants should be ok...

Sorry for not attending, I had a family member committed to ICU at the Royal Melbourne Hospital last night.

Hope everyone had a great day otherwise.
