  1. What a great weekend!! Great crowd really great Car and Truck count!! Looking forward to going back in 2 weeks
  2. I can remember as a kid going to SAS or Hwy 16 and watching my buddies race. Robin McCall, Ken Neal, The Hagy brothers. I had always wnated to race that track but never got the chance. I do recall winning a foot race for a new tire for my friends that were running a TIDA pony car. turns out I was in the wrong foot race!! I will never forget SAS
  3. If you are interested in joining or checking out a show the are 2 tracks in Texas one is RCQMA located in Austin, its one of the bigger tracks around it has soft walls electronic scoring and scorebored and tower. Its off of I 35 between Braker and Yager Lane. I am a member there. Great club and great people. They are working to host the Grand Nationals in 2010. As far as cost these are not home made cars anymore. Brand new without an engine is about 5,000 there are tons of really good used cars with motors anywhere from 1000 on up. Keep in mind, they are race cars and with any car the equipment and the driver is the differnece. Now as far as engines go, the older Decos are now the super stocks and Modifieds B's and AA these motors range from 2000 dollars on up. They require a ton of maintenance and pretty much everything is custom made. My modified that I had cost 3100 to build. it was fast but expensive. The engine of choice is the Honda 120 new these motors are about 700. Very little can be done to these motors per the rule book and the car counts are huge. They are very similar to each other so the difference is the Driver , car and set up. tires play a huge role in performance. We were able to turn the track in Austin at around a 6.6 second lap time while in San Antonio the lap time are at around 5.8. that is really quick especially when you add 10 cars in traffic. Very exciting stuff. You can start out at age 5 and run till your 16 if you like. The track in San Antonio is located at the Comanche Park off of Rigsby avenue. If you go to our web site there is a Quarter Midget tab and all of the links for information is right there. Hope this helps
  4. It is simply amazing where the started and where they are now!!! this is my son Jake last year 2007
  5. this was my first Quarter MIdget that was built by a man that worked at Kelly AFB in the early 60's I wish I still had this car, My parents sold it the origianl driver and she had it restored to its orignal 60's condition and she gave it to her day for Christmas in 1979. The very first track i drove on was in San Antonio. I have spent the better part of 31 years involved in QMA and have raised and raced both of my son's in it. We have moved on to Bandoleros and wil keep climbing the racing ladder. But QMA is where my heart is. My Dad was one of he original 5 that started the club in Austin. I am still a member and am working with the club to host a Grad Nationals there in 2010. If we are awarded the nationals then I am going to race my youngest in the AA or the 1/2 class. He will be 14 at then,
  6. Have any of you former QMA driver been to a track lately? the old track in grand Prarie is gone now but there is a track stil in San Antonio (comnche Park) and in Austin. The sport has changed a ton over the years but it is still a wonderful show
