1/18 Midget 4.0, Black, Ready-to-Run
Full-Scale Midget Racing
Midget Racing is an exciting and fast-paced motorsport that features small, open-wheel cars competing on short oval tracks, both dirt and asphalt, throughout the United States. These lightweight vehicles, which have tubular steel chassis, weigh approximately 900 to 1,000 pounds and are powered by 4-cylinder engines that produce between 300 and 400 horsepower.
Midgets are known for their agility and race on tracks ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 mile in length, such as Chili Bowl Speedway and Angell Park Speedway. They provide thrilling, wheel-to-wheel action in events that typically consist of 25 to 50 laps.
The combination of compact cars and tight tracks requires precision driving and quick reflexes, making the setups crucial for handling various track conditions. Popular in the Midwest and West, Midget racing captivates fans with its high-speed excitement and rich history.
