Costs in Quarter Midget Racing
   
     The costs involved with Quarter Midget Racing are very little when compared to other forms of racing. The basic start up costs will vary depending on whether you buy new or used cars and equipment. I will suggest when looking at safety equipment you buy brand new in order to make sure it meets all of the safety regulations.
  cars- $ 1500.00 to $7,000.00 (used to new)

 

  Trailers- $200.00 to $5000.0   Enclosed trailers are recommended so you do not have to worry about weather.

 

  Helmet- $250.00 to $400.00   There are many manufacturers out there that make great helmets, just make sure it is SA90 or newer or SFi 24.1 youth spec hemet.

 

  Driving suits- $200.00 to $400.00   Custom suits will cost more, QMA rules stat that  you need a 2 layer suit

 

  Gloves-  usually around $40.00 verify that they are SFI 3.2A5  approved or greater

 

  Arm restraints-  usually around $40.00 they have buckle and velcro wraps, depending on your prefferance

 

  Neck brace- usually about $30.00    2 types horseshoe or oval needs to be SFI 3.2A-5 or higher rating

 

  Pit cart- $200.00 to $400.00    basic pit carts work fine, custom ones are available for more money.
   

This is the basic cost to get into racing, many things can change these prices but  the bottom line to get into the sport is bewtween $3,000 and $5,500 dollars

   
  Once you get started and are racing every weekend the basic cost per week will go from $20.00 to $200.00 depending on if you are buying new tires. and the basic pit fees for your track. You will not have to buy tires every weekend, that will depend on your budget ability.
