Missouri Kids Speed Into Action with Power Wheels Racing

When I was little, I wanted to be a race car driver. I’m old enough though that Power Wheels didn’t exist when I was in that race obsessed era. My parents did get me a pedal powered Corvette Stingray, but I couldn’t make it go as fast as I could get my Big Wheel to go.

She was 1972 Beauty (I couldn't fit in her for long)

Kids these days who want to get the feel of driving years before they can legally operate a car have Power Wheels. Battery powered Jeeps, Hummers and others vehicles. Naturally competitive kids would want to race against their friends, neighbors and family with Power Wheels too.

The track will be set up in the parking lot at the Lodge in Des Peres. Mo.

Saturday September 20^th at The Lodge in Des Peres, Missouri the kids will gather and line up for bragging rights and checkered flags. The youngest division is for 3 and 4 year olds and they’ll run one lap. The oldest division is for 7 and 8 years old and they’ll run 3 laps. All the Power Wheels have to be 12 volt systems, kids must wear bike helmets, doors have to be fastened, and seat belts used (if in vehicle). No after market reinforcements or traction devices.
