My son started in QMs. It is a great form of racing for kids. We had a great time during our 4 years of QM racing at Mini-Indy.

It has always been my opinion that QM racing has too many classes. We would sit all day watching DECOs run that had 4 cars or less on the track. In some cases there would only be one car out there turning their minimum number of laps so they could get their points for the day.

The best thing the QM world could do is to eliminate DECOs and Hondas and go to true racing motors. DECOs are expensive and out-dated. Hondas are a utility motors and the rules have to change every time Honda comes out with a new 120 or 160......once again, expensive.

If USAC is looking to decrease the cost of QM racing by standardizing on a few classes I applaud their effort. My only concern with USAC and their .25 division is whether or not they are in it for the long haul. If USAC does not see the revenue they expect from QMs will they hang around or bail on it?

QMA, for all its faults (and believe me there are many) exists for one reason only....quarter midget racing. If the current economic environment continues I don't see both USAC .25 and QMA surviving. Car counts are down for both organizations. Heck, we used to have 120+ cars at a Mini-Indy club race. That would be a good showing for a regional event these days.
