Kids turn out for chance to drag race

The Boerne City Hall parking lot became a racetrack for miniature motorists during the July 15 Kidz Powerwheels Drag Race.

The race, the first of its kind sponsored by the city Parks and Recreation Department, required drivers to be 3-10 years old, have helmets, and own a 12.0 battery-powered vehicle.

Eric Alarcon, recreation coordinator, said Parks and Rec plans on repeating and expanding Kidz Powerwheels for next year.
