Juniors

With the growing concern with teenage road accidents. The Waiuku DTC has introduced a class of racing at their track events to allow teenagers between the age of 13 to 17 participate. This class has been running for the past8 years and is growing rapidly. Juniors must have a club driver in the passenger seat while they are racing. Most of the juniors are presently at College or High School. The Club feels that this is a positive way to teach teenagers about car maintenance car construction safety and how to control a vehicle allowing them a place to develop good skills for use on public roads. This class is a positive way with the help of Police, Council and other community groups to assist with the growing problem of young street racers.    

The purpose of the Club:

To promote car racing in a safe and controlled environment To promote a healthy respect for motor vehicles To educate members and the public in good safe driving behaviour To educate members in car construction and maintenance To provide family entertainment To promote Junior racing for teenagers in a controlled environment where they are able to express themselves freely without fear of harming themselves or others
