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.
