I wouldn't discount racing a Jr due to other sports, it is doable but it simply becomes a lesser priority. That is the way it is for us. Benjamin plays basketball till early spring, then baseball clinics, then baseball till early June, right into swim team - all the while playing 3 instruments (lessons!) and he's on an Odyssey of the Mind Team till around now. So, we won't ever hit all of the points events at our track, but with 5 NHRA tracks within a 2 hour pull - we can pretty much race somewhere on any given weekend. Amanda's schedule will be just as packed with her Girl Scouts, gymnastics, dance, softball..... Danny too! Now that I type this, what was I thinking!?!?!?!? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]
Anyway, it's worth venturing into, most of the activities that we put our kids into will taper off after high school - but cars & racing will endure their lifetime!
We put this body on for our neighbor Braelyn, not very fancy - but at least it doesn't say Girl Power! If your son wants to give this thing a try, all you have to do is get him his license and we can meet you at Englishtown. It will only be running 12.90's at ~50mph, but that is the best way to try it out. Englishtown's policy is that if that day is their first day ever - they don't race, they only do single runs for that day. We'll put the gray body on for him too!
