Teen Championship Racing
Teen championship racing allows youth aged 13 to 17 the opportunity to race against their peers in full-bodied street vehicles. A Co-Driver will accompany the TCR competitor on all runs to coach the driver and to join in the fun. The TCR program is an inexpensive way for families to get involved in drag racing.
All races are conducted over a distance of 1/8th mile with an ET dial-in format. Cars are limited to 11.00 seconds and slower. TCR drivers may not compete in any other class, except for Jr. Dragster.
Co-Driver: The co-driver must be the driver’s parent, legal guardian, or adult 25 years of age or older, with a valid state driver’s license. The co-drivers must be seated in thepassenger seat of the vehicle any time the driver is in the driver’s seat. The co-driver must drive the vehicle in the pits, to the staging lanes, and on the return road beyond the time slip booth.
Driver: Youth ages 13 to 17 (or until they have achieved a State driver’s license not a learners permit) may be licensed to compete in TCR. All runs must be made with an approved co-driver. A photocopy of every competitors birth certificate, a signed Parent/Guardian Minor Release Form and a $25 fee must accompany all license applications.
License: All TCR competitors will be licensed by an IHRA Track Official. The licensing procedure includes vehicle orientation, a basic driving test, and a minimum of six licensing runs. An Official or
Co-Driver must be in the vehicle at all times.
The licensee must demonstrate familiarity with all of the vehicles primary controls such as pedals, steering, shifter, lights, etc. Drivers must perform this orientation test for each vehicle entered in competition. Licensee must complete a basic driving test, demonstrating the ability to start the engine, select gears, turn and brake to a stop proficiently.
The Official will make one run with a licensee as passenger. This will allow the official to determine the safety and eligibility of the vehicle to run over the elapsed time limit, and orient the licensee to track fixtures, starting line, timing system, return road, timeslip booth, etc. The licensee must make a minimum of three approved runs with the assigned co-driver and witnessed by the track official. If the driver passes the test, the track official and co-driver must sign the driver’s license. Officials must deny a license to any driver they feel cannot handle the vehicle.
Vehicle: Must be a street legal full-bodied car, truck, van or SUV. Convertibles, jeeps, motorcycles, modified vehicles and/or specific-built racecars prohibited. The vehicle must pass IHRA and state safety regulations. The vehicle must be licensed and equipped with mufflers, DOT street tires and seat belts. Electronics prohibited. Seat belt usage is mandatory.
