IHRA Junior Dragster Profile: Ben Sarauer
HOUSE SPRINGS, MO — The International Hot Rod Association loves the participation of Junior Dragster racers at the IHRA-member tracks across North America.
Nowhere has the history of Great Lakes Dragaway in Wisconsin where 12-year old Benjamin Sarauer looks to make his own history racing in the Junior Dragster Super Pro class.
Sarauer has been racing for four years and drives a 2006 Motivational Tubing car which his dad serves as crew chief and chief mechanic. Coming from a long family of racers, he has multiple heroes in the sport starting with his mom and dad, and twin brothers Sam and Pat. Others include his pa Mike Playmale and pa Randy Norris. They will have five cars races on a good day, although his dad still stays busy helping everyone out.
Ben also looks up to back-to-back Mod ET champion Kyle Collins. He enjoys gym class at school as he jokes no books are required. After Juniors, Ben looks to start racing the Street class in Pa Randy’s 1979 Chevy Malibu.
More Junior Dragster profiles are soon to come. Keep reading the IHRA.com website and checking out our social media channels.
