The CCHRA is hoping to influence the creation of the Junior Street Class at Rad Torque Raceway in Edmonton, Alberta. This program is alot more affordable for families that are just starting out in racing and hopefully will meet the demand for teenagers who want to learn the sport and drive fast.

NHRA introduced a new youth racing program for 13-16 year olds that gives teenage boys and girls the opportunity to race against their peers in full-bodied street vehicles with an adult co-driver as their teammate.

This is an inexpensive program to help meet the demand for teenagers wanting to drive fast, but, best of all, it’s a way for families to use drag racing as a learning tool and a conduit for family bonding,” said Josh Peterson, NHRA vice president of racing administration.

Competitors in the NHRA Jr. Street program will go through an orientation/licensing procedure on an eighth-mile dragstrip in their vehicles, which must meet program requirements. Approved vehicles must be registered, insured, street-legal vehicles with mufflers and street tires and limited to 9 seconds and slower.

NHRA Jr. Street is the latest program in NHRA’s youth racing segment that also includes the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Youth and Education Services, NHRA Street Legal Program, and the NHRA Summit Racing Series.
