HUTCHINSON (HIGH BANKS RACE TRACK) - There is a group of area kids enjoying their Friday nights at the race track. These kids are not racing on a large track like NASCAR but basically they are doing the same things. These kids are Remote Control Electric and Nitro car racers. They do not have a pit crew but do rely on themselves to change the wheels, install a new engine, fix the broken axle and perform body repair after an accident on the track.
These kids put a lot of money towards these things just like any sport or hobby does. They begin racing early evening and continue into the dark of night. If the racer does not have the part to fix the car, they can usually ask anyone at the track who is eager to help them out.
The electric cars are quiet but the Nitros are loud and fast and the crowds enjoys watching these. After the last car crosses the finish lines, the kids take down their tents, pack their tool boxes clean the cars and go home while thinking, what can I do to make my car even faster. These kids are just amazing.
