How to Get Started in the Young Guns

Thank you for your interest in the Young Guns 390 Junior Sprints.  Our mission is to help young drivers "bridge the gap" from Quarter Midget Racing and Kart Racing to Micro Sprint Racing.  By starting this new series, we will formulate rules of competition similar to Micro Sprints and help further the interest of these young drivers to get them ready for Micro Sprint Racing or other Open Wheel Racing.

What are the age restrictions?  Since this is a Junior Sprint series, the ages are from 9-15 years.   You must have at least 2 years experience racing in quarter midgets, karts, slingshots or other form of motorsports to compete in the Young Guns 390's.  Drivers younger than 9 yrs old must be evaluated by Series representatives before taking to the track.

What does a Junior Sprint car consist of?  The Junior Sprints are run using any Wingless 270 Micro Chassis with a Series approved Honda GX390 engine.  So, when your driver is ready to move up to a Micro Sprint all you have to do is change the engine.  Young Guns 390's have chosen to use only Hoosier tires to run on. 

Where do I get my engine and how much does it cost?  Engines can be purchased from either JSP Motors, in Sellersville, PA @ 215-421-9570 or BMS (Buckwalter Motor Sports) @ 610-326-4767.  You will need to contact them to discuss the cost of the engine.

What type of fuel are the Junior Sprints running on?  Methanol

What's the cost of a membership?  Memberships are for Car Owner and Driver ONLY.  The cost of the Membership is $50.00.  You can join throughout the year.

How many races are there in a season?  We are planning on 4 or 5 per month with the racing season running from April - October. 

Where will you be racing?  Since this is a traveling dirt racing series, we will be racing the Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware regions.  Some of the tracks we have raced in the past years are Kutztown Fairgrounds Speedway, Lanco Speedway, Selinsgrove Speedway, Greenwood Valley Action Track, Shippensburg Speedway and Airport Speedway.  Please check our schedule for the current racing season at www.yg390.com.

We look forward to welcoming you to your first Young Guns 390 Junior Sprint event and we thank you for your interest and enthusiasm in the YG390's.
