Capitol Quarter Midget Association

The CQMA club and racing facility have long played a part in quarter midget racing for kids in Northern California. Quarter midget racing is a fast-paced family sport that teaches children the meaning of sportsmanship -- win or lose -- fairness and discipline. Hidden from view behind Rio Linda High School in a grove of shade trees is one of the old... est and possibly finest dirt quarter midget race tracks in the country.Roy Hayer Memorial Race Track, named for a longtime quarter midget supporter, produces great racing programs. Home of the Capitol Quarter Midget Association, the facilities include a 1/20 mile dirt racing surface, permanent timing and scoring tower, snack bar, permanent restrooms, shaded spectator stands and a large pit area. The purpose of our club is to create and maintain a clean, safe, healthy sport, which may be enjoyed by all family members in a close relationship with good sportsmanship toward all. To teach the younger generation about the proper handling of mechanical devices, coordination, self-reliance, alertness, and ability to handle motor-driven vehicles. To impress upon the younger generation the idea of fairness, generosity, good sportsmanship, and a sense of responsibility, without envy of others. To develop, direct, and promote the objectives of associated sanctioned Quarter Midget Clubs and their members on a National basis. Races are held approximately twice a month during the racing season, which runs from March through November. In addition to the clubs own Dirt Shootout Series club races, a Monza Series, a Hayer and Penny Memorial race. Training sessions are by appointment only at the track throughout the year weather permitting. See our training page for more details.Read More
