Strategy and Planning - Kade and his Dad, Kent, plan some strategy before the race. Quarter Midgets are essentially 1/4-scale Midget race cars, featuring full four wheel independent suspension and full roll cages. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses are mandatory. Engine power specifications are closely set by the national governing board and enforced at each local club race by officials. The tracks are 1/20 mile banked ovals comprised of concrete or asphalt surfaces.
