The last race for the Indoor Series in Columbus this year was held this past weekend. The event actually begins the Region 4 - 2008 Season. Latest car count was 266. That number is down from other years, but on Friday, a massive Ice Storm hit the region. The weather was cold and it was brisk inside the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Swine Barn, for the racing. But QuarterMidget Drivers came to race. Some of the most competitive racing happens at the Indoor event in Ohio.
Watch for results coming soon.
The small Minnesota Quarter Midget Club in Elko, is growing. That's due in part by the club hosting a "Try It - You'll Like It" Day last spring. Many tracks across the country are doing the same. This group hosted one event where over 90 driver's came out for the event. After 70 driver's got their chance, rain washed out the event. All but 2 of the 20 drivers left, didn't return for their drive. The club reports they have gained about 10 cars from the event. They will hold another date on May 4th with a rain date of May 5th. If you know anyone that would like to "Put their Kid Behind the Wheel of a Race Car" in Minnesota, please contact the club (click here)
