Driving a Sprint Car is a privilege. It should be seen as such. I am not saying a kid from 12 to 15 can't stand on the gas. I'm saying that the maturity is not there in a kid compared to an 18 to 20 year old man. I agree with Leader's Edge it should be 18! You should have to wait until you are mature enough to respect the vehicle you are driving and respect the people whom you are competing against. I even asked one of my heros, Kevin Briscoe and he agreed Sprint Car racing is not the same now as it was back in the 80s or 90s or even when I started in 2001. This is due to lack of respect on the race track. I have raced with his son Chase and watched him as well. He is one of the very few young kids that know how to respect their competitors. This is because he has learned from the best his Dad and his Grandpa.
