Five-year-old Michael Hunsinger didn't have a driver's license, but he drove his little yellow pickup truck Saturday for about four minutes on a ractrack.
Michael, participating in a 15-and-under category, stood at the edge of the racerack and maneuvered his vehicle with a remote control transmitter as 70 people watched him.

He was one of 25 participants who raced their cars in a remote control indoor car contest Saturday morning. Recreation Center, 720 W. 27th St.
"I feel great because it's my first time," he said. "I practiced on the skating rink and the parking lots."
The contest, sponsored by the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, was the second remote control race. The first was outdoors races.
Lynn Fraskeis, special events supervisor for the department, said remote control cars were becoming popular with children.
"After the Christmas of 87, we saw a lot of kids with these cars, but nothing developed until the following year," she said. "After Christy came on the staff, two of us thought we could work together."

Frashesski said that the department was lucky to have Tom Wilson, a radio-controlled car expert, to help out with the event. Participants had more than doubled since the September contest, which had 12 participants, she said.
Wilson, Lawrence resident who participated in four radio-controlled car races across the country in 1988, said the event was a success

Dennis Clark, 33, who won the 16- and over-two-wheel drive stock category, said the racetrack was too slippery.
slippery.
"Not many have tires for this kind of floor," said Clark, Shawnee resident. "We had to drive gently. Even that wasn't enough (to keep the cars from turning over)."
'the cars are great for relaxation if you have a high-stress job. Once you buy the car, the upkeep and maintenance is very little.'

Clark said he used his car to relieve stress.
The cars operate on batteries, and transmitters are used to control the speed and direction of the cars
