19XX Junior Dragster Custom
No. 206 of 207
A Junior Dragster is a half-scale version of the top fuel dragster. The Junior Drag Racing League (JRDL) offers kids ages 5-17 the opportunity to experience the thrill of racing dragsters in a controlled racing environment.
A Junior Dragster can go as fast as 85 mph and as quick as 7.90 seconds in an eighth-mile, although younger competitors are restricted to slower times/speeds.
Just like their full-size Top Fuel counterparts, Junior Dragsters must meet the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) stringent technical specifications. NHRA also places speed and elapsed-time restrictions on competitors based on their age and experience.
The NHRA requires that racers be licensed members of the JDRL and have necessary items such as an approved helmet, jacket, neck collar, and gloves. All drivers must also wear long pants and arm restraints while behind the wheel of their Jr. Dragster.
This dragster was built by Alexander "Ski" Orzechowski and raced by one of his children.
