There might be a few younger racers out there that are in over their heads when it comes to jumping into sprint car with that much horsepower. On the other hand, there are quite a few very talented drivers that just flat out get up on the wheel. I've been to many different types of races (karts, Qm's, micro, midget, sprint, etc.) and I have seen just as violent crashes in the little cars. YOu don't think parents have had to witness their kids get karted off on a stretcher @ a go kart race? It don't make much sense to say that a 14 year old can't wheel a sprint car but a 7 year old can run a non-caged kart around a 1/4 mile asphalt track and get upside down and skid across pavement for a 100 yards. Racing is dangerous period no matter what the form, level or divsion!
