Welcome to the web site for the Quarter Midgets of America's "Racing Rascals" quarter midget club. Quarter midget racing provides youth ages 5 to 16 the exciting opportunity to participate in a competitive environment in specifically designed cars for kids. At small oval tracks across Washington and into Canada young racers learn skills, rules, sportsmanship and safety unique to racing.
Our season begins in early April and extends to late October. The race track is located just outside of Yakima, Washington on the grounds of Renegade Raceway. Feel free to join us on race days for exciting action and fun for kids of all ages.
When entering the race track please do not drive through the motorcycle training. Use the access road between the crash wall and the grandstands. DO NOT DRIVE DOWN THE DRAG STRIP...
