Quarter midget racing

Current upper-class quarter midgets can exceed 45 miles per hour, but remain safe due to the limited size of the track.

[1][2] Tracks are typically banked ovals one-twentieth of a mile long, and have surfaces of dirt, concrete, or asphalt.

[3] Many of today's most recognizable names in racing got their start in quarter midgets, including A. J. Foyt, Jeff Gordon, Sarah Fisher, Jimmy Vasser, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Terry Labonte, and Bobby Labonte.

The oldest continually run dirt quarter midget track east of the Mississippi is the Hulman Mini Speedway, operated since 1958 by the Terre Haute Quarter Midget Association (THQMA) located in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Cars are covered by body panels which are made of fiberglass, aluminum, or occasionally carbon fiber.

The move from Deco to Honda was first highlighted by an exhibition race at the 1988 Western Grands in Pueblo, Colorado.

USAC has recently discarded all of the Deco platform and introduced the light and heavy modified World Formula for 2017.
