Grand Rapids Arena Racing to add Quarter Midgets

arena_racingShort Track Racing in the winter time just got a little more exciting as the Grand Rapids Arena Racing Series has decided to add Quarter Midgets to the 2010 schedule starting on January 9th.

The Quarter Midget guys got a little practice in on Saturday night and evidently the event was successful enough that Arena Racing officials announced the series is expanding to include the Quarter Midget drivers full time.

CQMALogoThe series has invited the Lansing-based Capitol Quarter Midget Association to participate in a night with the Arena cars, and it will be one of five visits for the club the remainder of the season. The remaining dates have yet to be solidified.

Due to the added speed and raciness of the Quarter Midgets, a seven-foot catch fence will be implemented around the track on the evenings the Quarter Midget races. The program will offer five Quarter Midget races along with A and C mains and a Top Gun feature for the Arena cars.

quarter_midget“We are going to run a Quarter Midget series, along with our series,” DeltaPlex owner Joel Langlois said. “We are inviting a particular club out of Lansing, and we are going to run five classes of Quarter Midgets. We think it will bring more spectators, and obviously, a lot more participants.

“We had a few of these guys in for an intermission show (last year), and they really enjoyed racing here. A typical Quarter Midget race is on a one-twentieth mile track and it’s flat. With our banking, and with it being a tenth-of-a-mile, it creates a whole different racing venue for them. They came to us and asked us if they could put something together, and we thought this would be something we should try to do.”
