The Seekonk Grand Prix Bandoleros are a youth racing division at Seekonk Speedway sanctioned by INEX. The division offers racing for ages 8 to 16. The Bandoleros race on the 1/3 mile banked oval of Seekonk Speedway as part of the Fast Friday race program along with the INEX Legends, Sport Four and Pure Stock classes.
The Bandoleros will race on Fast Fridays at Seekonk Speedway beginning on June 2nd and competing weekly until September 22nd for a 16 week schedule. This division will offer racing for young racers between 8 – 18 years old competing in two classes…the bandits for ages 8-11 and the Outlaws ranging from 12 – 18 years old.

Using the same magic formula that made the Legends Cars the most mass-produced competition car in history, officials of USLCI have introduced the Bandolero Car. The Bandolero Car is a turnkey, spec-series racer designed for drivers as young as eight years old and the young-at-heart at any age.

The Bandolero Car serves as a stepping stone between a 1/4 Midget or kart and a race car that is simple for everybody to use. The driver operates a Bandolero in a similar manner to a kart with left foot braking. The car is equipped with a centrifugal clutch so the driver does not have to shift gears.

The Bandolero Car’s motivation is provided by a thumping Briggs & Stratton 570cc Vanguard engine mounted behind the driver. Small modifications have been made to the engine to bring the once 20HP stock engine to nearly 30HP.

Special intro pricing available for Seekonk Teams for NEW Bandoleros from INEX for only $5500 for the first 20 cars only.
