What is Quarter Midget Racing?
Quarter Midget racing is a family-oriented sport that involves racing in
specially prepared cars. The cars, rules and safety procedures are designed
specifically for kids.
They race on oval tracks approximately 1/20 of a mile in length. A child who
is 5 to 16 years of age can race. Safety features include full roll cages,
multi-point seat harnesses, full-face helmets, and other gear. This sport has
fewer injuries than little-league football.
The National Quarter Midget Association is constantly reviewing and
evaluating safety rules to ensure that quarter midget racing remains a safe
and competitive sport. The racing environment is all about children and
family fun. Not only do kids learn valuable skills and sportsmanship, but they
also make new friends. Mom and Dad will make new friends too.
