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 driver is a
chrome-moly roll cage and nerf bars. The engines are single cylinder and are
manufactured by Honda, Continental, Briggs & Stratton, and Deco. In the motors
stock configuration they produce between 2.5 & 4 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 as much
as 10,000 rpm's in their more highly modified forms.
