*RUN YOUR LINE*STAY IN THE
THROTTLE*GRAB THE CHECKER*
Lone Star Quarter Midgets Association (LSQMA) has been in existence
for 47 years. Kids ages 5-16 compete against each other in quarter scale midgets, but don’t
let the size fool you, these little hot rods can reach speeds up to 45 mph. These cars are true
race cars in that they have full suspensions which can be adjusted for track conditions and type of track.
The racing is extremely safe and there has never been a serious injury in the association’s history.
These youngsters race in full safety gear that has to be sanctioned by the Quarter Midgets of America Club.
The kids wear full face helmets, as well as fire resistant race suits and gloves. In addition, they have arm
and neck restraints, and other safety harnesses on the car.
The kids of LSQMA race according to age category and engine type. Typically the racers race 10-15 events in
conjunction with the Austin track and accumulate points for club championships as well as regional championships.
San Antonio and Austin are the only two Texas cities with tracks so many families drive from as far away as Dallas,
Houston, and Port Lavaca on a regular basis in order to compete.
Even though the kids are fierce competitors on the track they put away their feelings with their race gloves as soon
as they climb out of their cars. These kids are all great friends and look forward to the weekend so they can hang
out with each other and share their love of racing. The environment is family oriented and it isn’t unusual
to see all family members working in some capacity to get the cars ready to race on Saturday mornings.
This sport is a great alternative for those kids more interested in cars and speed than they are in baseball,
soccer, or basketball. Quarter Midget racing can be compared to little league in baseball in that many Quarter
Midget racers have gone onto race in NASCAR, IRL, and World of Outlaws. If you are interested in getting your
child involved in the sport contact the club president, John Jimenez, at 210-363-4564 or by e-mail at johnjimenez87@yahoo.com.
