Quarter Midgets of America (QMA) is a non-profit organization
with over 3,000 family memberships and approximately 4,000 drivers. There are 13 Regions in our organization and over
50 Quarter Midget Clubs Nationwide. Quarter Midgets of America is a strong national organization that specifies engine,
chassis, safety, track and driving regulations. QMA 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.
A Quarter Midget car is a scaled-down version of an actual midget race car
by approximately 1/4 scale.
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.
