Potter, Howell, Crater,Johnson,just to name a few. 1/2 the guys on the gate at top gun have one
Any of the tracks locally don't have an age limit to ride pro that I'm aware of.
Dave is correct--winning a championship as a Jr isn't going to get you far...I don't even know for sure if it helps you get a better sponsorship because I know for FACT that finishing 3rd at Lorettas doesn't.

tedPaul is right. Maybe we should go to Olympia to have them write some more laws to clairify things. That will solve everything. They seem to be able to solve all other matters in this State.

Workman #21Everybody's talking about going fast like it counts. There's another connect the dot thing here folks. It's called Advertising.
Going fast only gets you half way. Lots of people go fast but if you can't be presented, in full-camera-view, then what good are you?
Going fast gets one half way (my opinion) attention to style is the rest.
Just me and my opinion.
