CMRA "Young Guns Series" born in the Central Valley for

This fostered more youthful interest from the Sacramento and Stockton areas of Central California. At the end of the 2004 Minicup Season, a wave of new interest exploded bring more and more youth to the sport of minicup auto racing, some from other venues such as quarter midgets and go-karting.

½ scaled stock car racing allows competition based on skill and ability without
the need of size and muscle opening the arena to every interested youth age 8 to
16 years. Adding the realism of door-to-door NASCAR type racing on ¼ mile to

now, honing their skills on the same tracks that adult drivers compete, only
with their youthful peers.
