I was at this race, and these kids don't lean out like we did in the 90's and the safety equipment is better. The kids are just as safe, if not safer than they are on a football field or doing flips in cheer leading. As for 'getting use to the containment seats' it didn't take me anytime to adjust to the containment seat in the sprint car. Also, leaning, and adjusting the lean to loosen or tighten the car mid race teaches the driver a ton about how to balance the car.
You people have no idea what you are talking about. I raced quarter midgets, started at 5 and moved up and out after 7 years. The reason they lean out is for left side weight, makes the car turn better. I've never personally heard of anyone getting hurt in one, but it does happen its racing. You can run these on dirt, but for the most part asphalt. Im not just some random making things up, I won sr. Honda western grands in 03 and race full size midgets. Quarter midgets are great.
these look like a load of fun, like go-karts. i have to agree with workshop77777, as fun as it may be, saftey is a must in motorsport. quarter midgets in nz have proper, upright seats, headrests/headnets to keep the head in the same position. but then again these are pretty much go-karts, the ones here are alot faster and raced on 1/4 and 1/5 mile dirt tracks.
@workshop77777 if they were in seats they would flip because you half to lean out to keep the cars on the ground if they had seats it won bike a lot and just flip
This is ridiculous, they should just not bother with seat belts or roll cages if the kids are allowed stick thier entire head out of the fucking car. They should be in seats with lateral head protection, look at the seats you would see in a Nascar for example.
@workshop77777 you cant sit straight up ive learned that when you sit straight up car is extremly tight and more far your out the looser it is and you never hurt your head this cars are extremely safe if they werent we would put 5 year olds in them
leaning out is a part of quarter midgets i know i did it to the extream but i think its time to put kids in a full containment seat, if they are moving on to sprint cars or midgets thats what they are going to have, it takes a while to get used it
that was a good one, i remember thinking fliping a quartermidge was a big deal just wait till you get a good nonwing flip going, you will wish you were back in a quartermidget
For her to finish 5th after that wild roll, she has the makings of becoming a great driver in whatever she drives in the future. She has tons of courage & plenty of GUTS!!.
I honestly dont see the point in sticking your head out the midget. i race 500cc Jawa speedway sprints (Quarter MIdgets times 3) and we do just fine without doing it. also, arent these supposed to be on dirt?
to the people arguing which is harder dirt or asphalt... asphalt can have just as many pumps and unevenness as a dirt track. u can flip just as easy on either cause asphalt= more grip so ur tires bite hard when going sideways causing a flip but with a dirt track it can be unevenness or softness that catch ur tires. NASCAR cars flip when hitting dirt because the change in surface its equal to hitting a ledge or a bump because the surfaces aren't equal. So in all dirt and asphalt are pretty equal.
She got clipped in the back. Glad she's okay though. Sad though how many diptards make sexists/racists comments on this site. Anonymity makes people bold as hell
glad she's OK, that was a wicked shot over the wall. can I also add my 2 cents here? I don't understand why the rules allow for the driver to hang half way out of the car. I don't think she was sitting that way, but if she had been she would very likely have gotten badly hurt.
hey the people who said she can not drive u r wrong!!!! see quarter midgets can lock wheels and start flipping just like what u just saw!!!!!!!!! When i was in Sr. Novice i biked it on two wheels because i locked wheels with someone.
wow umm her head hit the wall first. I dont think the kids head need to be outside of the cage like they were when they leaned into the turn. they need the nets like some sprint cars use. I dont window nets. but here they need to be used. I also thinks she should of been checked out the emt. and not just patted on head. my head still hurts after watching that my .02
love how her head slamed against the wall. i race on dirt in PA and my friend has gone to the hospital so many time this past year for crashing. one time in Mod/Half he went through 2 soft walls.
whats with parents strapping their own childen in a racecar that their head is outside of a rollcage that was intendid to protect their childs life. dont make sense ! There is no glory that my sons head is worth trading his life for, wake up people , we as parents are here to protect our children and teach them safety and how to race , not put them in harms way!
@racinghanna99 actually there is more of a chance of flipping, while i do agree its softer, its more often uneven. how often to you watch NASCAR does a car spin out and once it hits the grass does it start flipping
do you think maybe if she hadnt flipped that there wouldve been no call? maybe right? this is a bad angle to be judging kids racing and who has the right to name who flipped her no. no KID means to do these things on purpose. I would love to see a better angle of this viedo cause at the begginning it looks like the number 8 had her going down the straight we have no angle of the corner. did the number 1 come down on the #8 maybe she tried backing out and wasnt fast enough and things went wrong?
Amber ! I am so glad you are okay and wish i could of been there. You are an amazing driver and i look up to you. I mean i don't think i could have finished that race! haha. You did awesome though !
I know that everyone was concerned for her safety, but all the individuals that ran out on to the track while the midgets were still running should not have been on the track.
@BSS618432 Yes she was real good and might of won until her flip1 You should try to send this to her because I don't know if she has seen it yet. She might still be on the road home tho.
I'm going to patent the first TQ midget frame where the rollcage goes where the drivers head goes- a good bit to the left obviously.
