About

The Sport of Quarter Midget Racing

Quarter Midgets of America is a non-profit organization that involves families from all over North America, including Canada. With a large number of quarter midget clubs across the U.S. and Canada, the Quarter Midgets of America created 13 different regions throughout this vast area.

Quarter Midget Racing is undoubtedly one of the "best-kept secrets" a family or motorsports enthusiast could come across.

The Sport of Quarter Midget Racing

The Quarter Midgets of America is a family-oriented sport that involves racing with specially prepared, very safe race cars. The cars, called a "Quarter Midget", follow the rules and safety procedures that are designed specifically for kids. Quarter Midgets race on oval tracks approximately 1/20 of a mile and can be on surfaces of concrete, asphalt, or dirt.

Children ages 5-16 can participate in these significant family motor sports events. Quarter midget racing has fewer injuries than little-league football, so don't let the thought of a 'racecar' affect your decision.

Safety features include full roll cages, multi-point seat harnesses, full-face helmets, and other gear. The Quarter Midget Association is continually reviewing and evaluating safety rules to ensure that quarter midget racing remains a safe, yet competitive sport. The racing environment is about children and family - not only do the kids learn valuable skills and sportsmanship, but they also make new friends - Friends they may keep their entire lives. Don't worry, Mom and Dad, not only will this be some of the best times of your child's life, but it will also probably be the best times of yours!

What is a Quarter Midget?

A Quarter Midget car is a scaled-down version of an actual midget racer, approximately 1/4 scale. The cars are built around a tubular frame and are fully suspended with springs or torsion bars and shocks. The bodies are fibreglass, usually painted to the driver's preference. Surrounding the driver is a chrome-moly roll cage and nerf bars. The engines are single cylinder and are manufactured by Honda, Continental, Briggs & Stratton, and Deco.

In the motors stock configuration, they produce between 2.5 & 4 horsepower. Modifications in the upper 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.
