How old do you have to be to drive a hobby stock race car?

Answer 1

It varies on where you race. IMCA allows drivers to be as young as 15 with a signed release from your parents. There are tracks that allow drivers who are much younger. Each racing association has their own set of rules. Independent tracks often allow for younger drivers then the large racing associations. Find race track websites to see what the rules are or go to some tracks near you and they will be happy to let you know what the rules are for that track. I have seen tracks in southern states that allow drivers as young as 13 to race 4 cylinder cars.

Answer 2

In the U.S. it can vary from state to state and even sanction to sanction, I have heard, with parents consent, age 16. There may be some other considerations involved also.
