Quarter Midget Racing

[Nasturcija]

Спорт-спорт-спорт. Не получается отобразить это точным коротким словочетанием. Смысл: гонки на таких мини-машинках, уменьшенных для деток. Что-то по типу картинга, но машинки чуть побольше и скорость повыше.

QUARTER MIDGET RACING got its start in the L-A area back in 1937. If you've got a future Mario or Marla Andretti in your family, you might want to contact one of the 55 QUARTER MIDGET CLUBS in North America.

Спасиб.

What is a Quartermidget?
It's an open wheel race car built "kid size". It looks just like a full midget race car driven by stars such as J.J. Yeley, Tracy Hines, Jay Drake, Bud Kaeding and Bobby East, just to name a few. Kids 5 through 16 years of age are eligible to participate.
The cars are essentially 1/4-scale Midget race cars. Unlike Go-Karts, quarter midgets feature full four wheel independent suspension and full roll cages. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses are mandatory. Power comes from roughly a 120 to 160cc engine, whose specifications are closely set by the national governing board and enforced at each local club race by officials. The tracks are 1/20 mile ovals on dirt or paved surfaces.
