Membership  

To get started racing at Tampa Bay QMRA and throughout the country racing quarter midgets is very simple.  All participants must be a club member and a member of Quarter Midgets of America.  A membership application must be fill out, the appropriate funds paid and returned to the treasure or secretary of TBQMRA.

Quarter Midget Racing is designed for kids from the age of 5-16 year of age.  Training can begin as young as 41/2 years old.  All drivers must complete a novice training program before actually getting on the track to race.  Once the novice program has been completed then the driver will begin racing on a weekly basis in the appropriate novice class, either Junior Novice or Senior Novice depending on age.  The novice training director will give the final approval as to when your driver is ready to move up into the competitive classes we race at TBQMRA.

Ambassador Racing provides a training program for a nominal fee. Class or individual lessons can be accommodated.  These classes will provide your child an opportunity to drive a real Quarter Midget Race Car.  The training fee includes insurance and use of a car for four (4) training sessions and experience adult trainer. (JR Garcia)  A new driver is taught how to pass, the meaning of the flags as well as the flagman's signals, how to line up to begin or restart a race, and what to do in common emergency situations.  Although the student is taught these racing basics, the real focus of the training is SAFETY, and is not intended to produce a seasoned racecar driver.  This will come from seat time racing in their own car against other new drivers within their age group.
