Very early stages of setting my 4 year old up for a future in racing. He has shown TONS of interest and has grown out of all of the electric toys we have supplied. It is finally time to get him into something he can keep for a while.
We live in New England and I do as many autocrosses and open track days as the wife will allow and in the winter spend as much time at F1 Boston indoor track as I can. The Junior leagues there require children be at least 5 but my kid is ready. He can mow the grass with the riding mower (I know the wife hates it too). His Ferrari Enzo can make non stop laps around the neighborhood between cones and around whatever track we design, (we live at the end of a cul de sac) until the battery dies.
He understands track in, apex and track out but always does the "seat hump" trying to go faster (all of you know what I'm talking about you've done it too).
I am looking for something he can grow into that doesn't cost a fortune. If he sticks with it I will be that guy who drives all over the planet trying to help him with anything he wants.
If anyone has any input on a Road Rat Racer xk please chime in. Or if anyone knows of a few options I would really appreciate it.
