Little Kalamazoo Speedway

A quarter midget car is a scaled-down version of an actual midget racer, approximately 1/4 scale. The cars are built around a tubular frame and are fully suspended with springs or torsion bars and shocks. The bodies are fiberglass, usually painted to the driver's preference. Surrounding the driver is a chrome-moly roll cage and nerf bars. The engines are single cylinder and are manufactured by Honda, Continental/Deco and Briggs & Stratton. In stock configuration, they produce between 3 & 6 horse power. Modifications in the upper classes allow these engines to reach several times the stock horse power. These air-cooled 4 cycle engines are reliable and can produce over 10,000 rpm in their more highly modified forms
