I didn't notice many quarter midget entries from the FortWaye area. Are there any QM clubs in NE IN or NW OH?

Far as I know the 2 closest are Napoleon Ohio and Kokomo Indiana. Both around 1.5 hours away. Unfortunately quarter midgets are in a split right now. In order to race you had to Join USAC if not already a member ( $150.00) Pit Pass for family members ($50 each) and entry fee ($20). I really wanted to take my son and race but for $320.00 couldn't justify it. So I suspect many Fort Wayne drivers run out of Napoleon Ohio track which is QMA and not Usac. So they may be in the same boat as us. Would think Fort Wayne would be a great place to put a track for the kids.

First of all I think u are a little high on the USAC fees and membership, second we run QM under USAC and live in the Warsaw area. We spend about 16 hours a week (roughly) in the garage and at the track together as a family. I can not put a price on what this worth to us. We have also made friends with alot of people from all over the country doing something that we all love. Are driver is learning alot of life lessons along the way. Like winning at Rumble on Friday and losing on Saturday. Our suggest to anyone thinking about joining the sport is go to a track and check it out. As far as I know it is alway free to.watch and the pits are always open to anyone.

Unless something changed this year from previous years the rumble is an outlaw quarter midget race and no usac membership was required. I do believe they go by usac rules however with the exception of no tire rule.
To the original poster, the clubs in the area other than Kokomo are in Indy, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Toledo, and West Liberty Ohio.

We not run for club points at any track for 2 years. We mainly travel running the MW thunder series and USAC Gen next tour (TN,WI,IN,OH) but still ran 40 races last summer. Any of the QM tracks in the area are all good places to race. You can find a list of tracks in the area at midwest thunder.org or the USAC site.
