Our Sport
Quarter Midgets of America is a non-profit organization
with over 2,500 family memberships and approximately 4,000 drivers. There are 13
Regions in our organization and 50 Quarter Midget Clubs Nationwide. This sport is
definitely the ‘best kept secret’ you'll ever come across.
QMA is a family oriented sport that involves racing in
special prepared cars. The cars, rules and safety procedures are designed specifically
for kids. They race on oval tracks approximately 1/20 of a mile. 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 Quarter Midget Association is constantly reviewing
and evaluating safety rules to ensure that quarter midget racing remains a safe
competitive sport. The racing environment is about children and family. Not only
do kids learn valuable skills and sportsmanship, but they also make new friends.
Mom and Dad will make new friends too.
Quarter Midgets...
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
fiberglass, usually painted to the drivers 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 horse power. Modifications in the upper classes
allow these engines to reach several times the stock horse power. These air-cooled
4-cycle engines are reliable and can produce as much as 10,000 rpm's in their more
highly modified forms.
