One of those drivers is Sam Howlett, who is in his rookie season.
He calls the ride as a “go-cart but for bigger kids,” and although the cars don’t pack a lot of horsepower, it’s enough for a kid who weighs less than 100 pounds.
“When I’m going around the corners, if I’m going faster, it’ll feel, it’ll feel more like someone’s tugging on me and trying to pull me out the window,” Howlett explained.
As for his future in racing, Howlett has it all planned out.
“What I’m going to do is I’m going to go to Bandoleros, to Legends, then I’m going to move to Sportsman, then Super Lites, then the NASCAR Pinty’s Series, then I’m going to move to NASCAR in the U.S.,” Howlett said.
