Just to show that anything can happen when it comes to kids, A young girl made it half way across GMP's sandtrap Saturday in a Jr. She's fine the car wasn't hurt. It's over a half mile from the 1/8 finish line. I don't know what happened but I did hear her say "I was trying to turn".

I don't know if she even tried it. It was her first pass ever. You never know what kids might do.

ya zach's first pass at gmp was 6 years ago and the strickland chassis i got him wouldn't turn to the right for nothing and he hit the gates/wall trying to turn off track.he thought his mom who wasn't there was gonna shut him down.had to change the tie rods mounting to make it turn right and it was all good.only tagged the nose a little bit.
his car in this link is the first car in video w/ flames /same night
now he drives the red bomarito car in same video
great video still brings tears to my eyes/these kids are great

I think that in the past at least one kid has rolled a Jr at Gateway turning off the track too fast.

thankfully he didnt roll just wouldnt turn right.people half way down the track could hear him giving it a WOHO through his helmet and over the motor.he was having a blast.

i think everyone has been to the beach at least once in their racing career. our JR ended up there last year with the driver telling use the brakes didnt work. checked everything over with the beakes could not find anthing wrong but if I would have really been listening to what he said just by letting off the gas the car should have slowed way before the turn off and never come close to the trap. throttle stuck partially open and the clutch locked up. we had a discussion on the next time, use the kill switch thats what it is for but mainly he was not hurt and a lesson well learned by both of us
