What
is a Quartermidget? It's an open
wheel race car built "kid size". It looks just like a
full midget race car driven by stars such as Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Terry and Bobby LaBonte, Jason Leffler, J.J. Yeley, Jerry Coons, Jr, Tracy Hines,
Jay Drake, and Bud Kaeding. just to name a few. Kids
5 through 16 years of age are eligible to participate.
History was made as many young race car driver's got the chance to experience............ a Ford Focus Midget! Eight driver's were at Columbus Motor Speedway to sit down, strap in, and DRIVE!
