Washington Quarter Midget
Association
Welcome to
the home of the Washington Quarter Midget Association (WQMA). As a member
of Quarter Midgets of America, our club provides youth ages 5 to 16 the
opportunity to race in specially 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 Quarter Midget car is a scaled-down version of
an actual midget racer.
Our racing season begins
each April and continues until late September. Races are held at our track
located in Monroe, Washington. Please look around our web site or come
check us out at the track. Admission is always FREE!
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.
