In southern California there is a quarter midget track. The Light "A" cars are going around in less than 5 seconds. These are 10 and 11 year old kids that have 6 years of driving experience already. The kids that have come from these tracks would think that a 15 second sprintcar lap is slow and boring. That is until they slide into Lawrenceburg turn 1 at 125 MPH!
