    I remember the day, when you had to be 21 and male, wearing white pants, to even get in the pits.

      If you cant drive on the street legally, you should not be allowed in a race car. That is why go carts and legend cars were invented...

        My son raced karts from age 7 to 12,
        Bmods at 13
        Amods at 14
        Latemodels 15
        I don't think I would have pushed it any earlier. But my kid was always a bigger kid than the others and was more mature than most. At least when it came to racing. I doubt you could find anyone that felt he was too young at the time. Maybe one or two that were jealous but that's about it.

          When that 10 year old kills someone it will be a in court for a long time...Now in some states you cant even drive a car on your own land now if under age...In some states you can not get in a car and drive if its on land that is open to people if under age ,.. What state was this and check with the driving B to see what the law is...There is no state that it is allowed by law for a 10 year old to drive a car on or off the race track.... In Illinios it is 15 and most tracks here will not let you on the track if you ant...

            That sounds reasonable. I worked with my youth group of 8-12 year olds and I love them. However I would not want to race with them just yet.

                        10 yrs old in a late model ? Whats the promotor thinking ? Why are the parents letting this happen ? Do they think there kid is the next Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart ? Does anyone have a background on this kid ? There is young talent out there. But, I think at his age he may have needed to prove he is ready ? And maybe he did, by broadsiding the car he hit. Maybe it's going to get parked until he's ready.

                          Any late model class you should have to have your driver's license.

                            Don't know about the law but I know a 14 year old will be racing a limited late model in April. What's their ruling on what kind of car you have to be 15 in. I know a lot of legend drivers started younger than that.

                              And for the record I'm against these kids driving against men. 16 or 18 minimum. If you haven't gone out and earned a dollar you shouldn't be able to go tear up a mans stuff that has.
