About The Sport

Quarter Midget Racing is a family oriented sport for children ages 5 to 16. Children race in quarter midget race cars that are a scaled down version (approximately 1/4 scale) of an actual midget-racer on oval tracks that are approx. 1/20th of a mile. The sport focuses on family participation, safety, improvement of mechanical and driving skills, sportsmanship and competitive fun. Quarter Midget racers are built around a tubular frame and are fully suspended with springs or torsion bars and shocks. The bodies are fiberglass and can be painted to the driver's preference. Surrounding the driver is a full chrome moly roll cage and nerf bars. Other safety features include multipoint seat harnesses, full face helmets, gloves and nomex firesuits. The engines are single cylinder and are manufactured by Honda, Briggs & Stratton & Deco. In the motors stock configuration they produce between 2.5 & 4 horsepower. Modifications in the upper racing classes allow these engines to reach several times the stock horsepower. These air-cooled 4 cycle engines are reliable and can produce as much as 10,000 rpm's in their more highly modified forms. The cars, rules and safety procedures are designed specifically for quarter midget racing and are dictated by the Quarter Midgets of America (QMA)

QMA constantly reviews and evaluates safety rules to ensure that quarter midget racing remains a safe and competitive sport. This attention to safety has resulted in a sport with fewer injuries than little league football.

BENEFITS of QUARTER MIDGET RACING
Quarter midget racing was started to develop sportsmanship in children while also providing a family oriented racing activity. In recognition of the drivers, trophies are awarded at Regional, State and National events. No cash prizes are awarded.

Quarter midget racing is not a "drop off your kid" sport, but rather an involved family sport. Few other sports permit all members of the family to participate. This kids do the driving while other family members serve as pit crews, chief mechanics, scoreres, timekeepers and operators of the concession stand.

QM racing teaches the meaning of sportsmanship, fair play and how to be a good winner or gracious loser. It develops coordination, a sense of timing and independent thinking. Also, self reliance is learned. Once the green flag drops - they are on their own.

The spirit of competition also comes along. They learn to drive hard, but rules must be observed. Rule infractions can result in disqualification.
