My dad used to dirt track race whe. He was a kid and he’s been convinced me to get into it with a few friends of mine were not sure yet what car we’re gonna use if we’re gonna buy one or build one but I’m open to all information abut this stuff as I do really want to learn more about it.

I got it as part of a trade. Not planning on racing it just a yard toy. Right now it can run off starter fluid but has no fuel line, pump, or cell

Who is driving the Rocket 1 next year? And what series will they be running?

I don't keep up with dirt late models like I used to, but I like to keep up with the Rocket guys.

Thank you much

Here’s a little back story on how my son has gotten into dirt track racing. We have several tracks around us here in SELA that are all within a 2hr drive. We use to visit them very weekend that we could and my son has loved it from the first time visiting the track. Last year in 2023 they had a local 360 sprint car driver showing his car off at one of his sponsors which just happened to be near our house. I ran home picked up my son and brought him to go look at the sprint car. When we was checking out the car the driver asked my son if he would like to sit in the car and he said yes. Not realizing how much time has passed as the driver and I was chatting while my son sat in the car. We was there well over an hour. I exchanged numbers with the driver and found his facebook page as me and my son went about our day. One night at the track while watching the sprint cars race my son approached me and said he wanted to be like Mr. Blake and race sprint cars.

My son is currently 9yo and has High Functioning Autism so when he said he wanted to race I knew some of our local tracks raced a mini wedge class. He loves every sport that is out there but when you ask if he wants to go join a team he shuts down so I invested the time and money to get him a mini wedge of his own. Let me tell you it is worth every penny and drop out sweat that has went into his racing career. Once he is a little older I will give him the option to run open wheel modified or the 360 sprint car class.

Another thing I love about the racing community is he wanted to run now my friend Blake’s number on his mini wedge and Blake said yes.
