yeah the briggies go off, we had a 5hp in a mini scale go-kart that we built and was awsome fun! But the drag guys go off with there motors like counter weight the cranks lighten everything bore stroke them.

some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs

Yeah, they are boring to watch, but I bet they are a load of fun to drive for the kiddies...

The quickest one I saw on the weekend ran about an 8.80 @75mph for the 1/8 mile - so that would be about a 13 or 14 on the 1/4 ? if the gearing worked out (which it probably wouldnt).

Pretty good for only 200 odd cc of overgrown lawnmower motors.

They really bomb the hell out of the engines.
There is nothing left on them standard and the cases are modified as well.
a friend of ours built is own rail and engine everything for the engine was imported from the USA. The case had to be machined to take the valves and other stuff as well.
The even use a type of launch control as well for the revs.

lots of fun

I reckon they are dead cool. When you think about it they are faster over the quarter then the Falcon phase 3 GTs or new model monaro etc And you have to remember they are only kids driving them.

snore, snore, snore....oh sorry, did I drift off there. Jnr dragster is a lot like amateur musical theatre, far more interesting for those involved than for the audience. Good time to get a drink or fill in a really tedious tax form. :o
