Great Weekend of Racing!!!

What a great day of racing. Started out with a couple birthday parties, then signed up three new rookies, did a couple try a rides, gave out some first race awards and topped it off with some very competitive races.

CQMA members are very proud of how our drivers are conducting themselves, learning sportsmanship and racing each other hard and clean. What a show. Keep it up drivers. You all make us very proud.

Results are posted under important information.

This weekend many of us will be traveling to Miami Valley in Xenia OH for the first round of the Mid West Thunder series. Good luck to all of our drivers!!

And CQMA members remember you are always welcome to come practice anytime. Please follow the practice rules given.

What is quarter midget racing?

A Quarter Midget car is a scaled-down version of an actual midget race car by approximately 1/4 scale, thus the name.

Quarter Midget Racing is a competitive sport for children between the ages of 5 – 16.  However, the entire family is involved in putting on the race day activities.  The race events are put on by the membership within the club.  All positions are voluntary.  Flagging, corner workers, race scorers, pit stewarding, and even the concession stand are all run by the membership.

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 dirt and asphalt tracks approximately 1/20 of a mile.  All cars and driver’s equipment must conform to all national safety rules.  Full roll cages, racing clothing, helmets, gloves, neck braces, safety belts, arm restraints, mechanical components, etc. are covered by National safety rules.

The CAPITOL QUARTER MIDGET ASSOCIATION has existed in Lansing, Michigan since 1959.

The Track is located behind Rookies Restuarant and Bar at 16460 S Hwy 27, Lansing, Mi  48906.  About 3 miles south of the I-69 and Old US-27 interchange.  Or from Downtown Lansing, approximately 3 to 3 1/2 miles north on Larch Street also known as Business Route 27.

ADMISSION TO THE RACES IS ALWAYS FREE!!!

If you have any questions about our Club or about Quarter Midget Racing, please contact Matt Hokanson (269) 908-6824 mshokanson@sbcglobal.net .  He would be more than happy to assist you.
