By Sherry Gross


You may be one of those who are interested on auto race events. One might have watch a fun event in which the racers are riding on tiny cars but have high speed. That is called the midget dirt track racing. It is already known for a long time. This has brought enjoyment to the ones who join it.

This type of race is not necessarily for the participants who are really small. This is the most common mistake of the ones who heard this one for the very first time. Unlike the name it has, the participants of the event have different heights and sizes.

The part of its name refers to the cars that the participants have been using in these races. The cars are high powered and are mostly small in size. It is driven by professional drivers for the whole competition. They would compete so that they would be part of the top racers of this kind of events.

The vehicles that have been used in here have a small size. The tracks that they have are one fourth or just one half of a mile in length. They also make use of the paved tracks that are usually longer compared to others which they will be driving onto.

This kind of competition has become popular throughout the United States. There were a group of racers who have grouped together so that they would be able to make a new form of a race. They have done it so that it would be possible to have a car that would not cost you a lot of money compared to what they have spent on the other races that they have joined in.

They were able to make it successful during its launching. That was one of the ways that it has acquired interest from numerous people. The scope of this one has widened which is why it has attracted so many people to participate. There was an instance that it was brought to another countries in the world because it was really popular during the early years that it has began.

But, there are still guidelines which you need to follow. It does not apply only to a racer but also on the machine which he will use on it. The engines are usually the kind with four cylinders. The weight usually reaches to about a thousand pounds. It is capable of reaching to three hundred up to four hundred on horse power. This is very fast making such competitions become dangerous.

You may have noticed that such competitions are shorter. They have shortened its time to lessen the danger that the contestant might encounter on that time. When you compare this to the expert divisions of those well known races around the world, it is a little short on the time.

These small machines are tiny in size but has some weight on it. That would be one of the factor that would cause danger to a person.
