The Truth About Quarter Midgets Racing

By Sherry Gross


People of the new generation just seems to love everything that comes on full speed. They live fast paced lives, use gadgets and appliances that make any activity easier and faster, travel using the fastest modes of transportation, and even eat fast foods. Speed is the operative word of the modern times, and so it is not really surprising to find out that more and more people are falling in love with quarter midgets racing.

Racing is a very old form of sport that has been around even as far back as the time of the ancient Greek civilization. Back then it was the most beloved sport of all, even with all the dangers and fatalities it presented. It is just an outlet for humans to be able to battle with each other in a test to see who is the swiftest.

Today, racers are by far more safe than their earliest predecessors. The mechanics of the sport, along with its primary objective, remains the same after thousands of years. From then until now, racing has remained to be a speed game wherein a racer must conquer the clock or best out all the other racers. It is a game where everything seems to be a blur and both competitors and spectators alike all experience that adrenaline rush that leaves you pumping and very much awake.

The world of racing can be very big, so they are categorized into different types. Horse races feature the said equine. Fans of this game can place their bets on their favorite four legged runner. Some race types rely solely on muscle strength. This includes running, which tests your endurance and the stability of your leg muscles, and swimming, which tests the strength of your lungs and your fluidity and other water related skills.

There are very many types of car races all over the world. There are F1 races, Nascar races, and there are also sprint car competitions. All these race types make use of high powered cars that are specially manufactured to be a precise machine of speed and aerodynamics. Almost every guy has secret dreams of becoming a racer, as it is no secret that the people who risk their lives on the race track make about millions of dollars per year.

Some races do not even need any special equipment because they are aimed at testing sheer body strength. This can include sprints, hurdles, and swimming competitions. These types would need total body coordination which is why participants need weeks and even months just to prepare.

The best race type for all these young and aspiring racers is perhaps the quarter midget type. This kind of racing got its name from the type of vehicle that these little boys maneuver all around the track. These cars are only about one fourth of the adult midget car, hence the bizarre name.

If you are worried that this sport is not exactly the safest for your child, there is absolutely no reason to be. The cars run around a wide track that is just about one fifth in length as compared to the tracks adults often drive in. The unique design of the car also serves as an added safety feature.

The competitions are often held in tracks that are only a fifth of the standard length. They also drive special cars that are only one fourth than those used by the experts. The earlier one starts, the more he stands a chance.
