WEST POINT — One West Point family’s hobby is so uncommon, the three kids are the only ones at their respective schools who participate in the sport, known as junior dragster racing.

The Casteel children — Kestra, 16, Tristyn, 13, and Trevyn, 10 — all compete in the sport that became popular in the early 1990s. It allows boys and girls, beginning at age 8, to race on the 1⁄8-mile track in a junior dragster vehicle, a scaled down version of a top fuel dragster, with its long, narrow frame, caged-in seating area, and large back tires and small front tires to maximize acceleration and speed.
