AX Runabout
Junior Runabouts are made to slice through the water. Kids can drive J Runabouts in both circle races (around an oval track marked by buoys) and in marathons, which can be many laps of an oval course or a point-to-point long-distance race. The driver kneels in the cockpit, steering with the right hand and squeezing the throttle with the left. A runabout can handle rough water if the driver has the skill to handle it.
