Sounds like a fun ride and a cool father/son project, but an NHRA track won't (or, shouldn't) let him run w/ that, unless it meets Jr. Comp rules.

BTW my daughters race Jr. Dragsters and IMO 8.90 ET and 85 mph in the eighth mile is plenty fast for my 12 year old kid.

idk about it being legal to run but it sounds badass

it is only in the pencil and paper stage right now. he will be 14 when it is done and there is no class for this type car, it will be a test and tune bi run only car, as an experimental car at an IHRA track. about 25 friends and i also rent the track a few times a year for a closed to the public practice session. i know he can run it then, we will gradually ramp into it to begin with. he has nerves of steel and also knows his limitations. it will not be his first day going fast by any means. he had his first dirt kart clipping along 40 mph at age 7, jumped his motorcycle 35 feet at age 9, climbed his first 50 foot cliff at age 9, and has a quarter pipe in the driveway. he is a huge adrenaline junky just like me. and if not it will be fun building it anyway.

i just did a search and someone has already done it with a honda f3 600 cc motor. and it looks turbo charged, how sick is that?
