1) Personally I would like the age to be 17.5 to 18 for a USAC 410 non-wing sprint
car. Let the non-wing 410 sanctions tracks do what they like? I really don't
care?

a) How old do you have to be to enlist into the army?
b) How old you have to be to drive a USAC 410 non-wing sprint car?
c) Personally I would like a block in the system that prevents youngsters
from getting into a 410 sprint car before the age of 17.5 to force them to do
something else with their lives, before being forced or tempted to drive a sprint
car. It's just a precaution and I think a good one. We are just trying to be safe
and we make the rules, don't we? Don't like the rules don't play the game.

2) For a non-wing 360 sprint car I would lower the age to 16.5 to 17 years old.
A steel block non-wing sprint car seems a little safer than a 410 all aluminum
410 non-wing sprint car, don't you think? Thus my thinking on the subject.

3) For a USAC Midget I would make the age limit 16.5 -17 years old.

a) What is the current age to drive a USAC Midget?

b) Hopefully the non-sanctioned organizations for midgets have a reasonable
age limit. Is it 16 years old for most non-USAC midget organizations.

I could live with 16 for a non-sactioned midget organization.

c) I just feel the non-sactioned organizations have less of the big dollar high
speed midgets and sprint cars and the competition may be a little less,
making it easier for a younger driver to get aquainted with a sprint car
or midget and making his debut. Well, that's my thinking anyhow...lol!

Sincerely,

Larry Otani and God bless you all!:moon:
