Condolences to the family on the loss of Anita.
The cars speed are limited based on age. The one driven by Anita is powered by a lawn mower engine and less powerful and heavier than most go karts used at the same age. She would not of been doing 115Km/h at any point.
There is actually more to qualifying in junior dragster than in go karts for the same age, more in depth pre race inspections, medicals etc.
The sport has been going for over 20 years without any deaths or major injuries until now.
