Quarter Midget Racing was started to develop sportsmanship in the
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" kind of sport, but an
involved family sport. Few other sports permit all members of the family to
participate. The kids do the driving while other family members serve as pit
crews, chief mechanics, scorers, timekeepers, and operators of
concession stand or novelty booths.
It teaches the meaning of sportsmanship, fair play by following rules, how
to be a good winner or a gracious loser.
It develops coordination, and a sense of timing and independent thinking.
It teaches self-reliance. Once a green flag has dropped, they are on their
own.
The spirit of competition also comes along here. They learn to drive hard,
but that rules must be observed. Rule infractions may result in
disqualification.
Development of knowledge and an appreciation for mechanical devices.
It teaches safe driving skills that are carried on in their teen years on the
road. Very few people develop the skill that these children acquire. We
believe this level of skill is valuable when they become adult drivers. They
learn that there is a place to race an automobile— which is NOT on the
public highway systems where so many young adult drivers lose their
lives.
It develops a sense of responsibility. Alertness and concern for the safety
of others is acquired.
It gives drivers a well-earned right and a sense of pride and
accomplishment. They stand taller and are more confident after becoming
a proficient Quarter Midget Driver. This confidence and sense of
"belonging to a group", along with our Race for Drugs Program, could
someday be a factor in helping these kids "Say No To Drugs".
