By Sherry Gross


The people of the modern generation live very fast paced lives that they are no novices to racing against the clock. This could lead one to believe that, because they have been on the rush at every moment, they would eventually grow tired of racing. But, the rise to fame of both real life racing and games that are played over the internet, it is easy to note that people are really fond of the thing more than one may think they are. Adults and children alike are self confessed fans of formulas one races and quarter midgets racing.

The sport is believed to have started for quite some time. It has provided an avenue for people to unleash their competitive side and follow their gut feel to win. Success is a primal feeling, and to gain it, people are driven to their basest instincts. This is one of the many appeals of the said sport.

A race is typically composed of several stages or laps. The sport is said to have been originated from charioteers of the Ancient Greece, who competed against each other while being pulled by the fastest of horses. Today, aside from horse racing, you can use cars, bicycles, and even motorcycles. There are also those that do not require any equipment such as running and swimming.

In the world of auto races, there are many subcategories. Among them is the very popular sprint car races that has garnered loads of fans from all over the country. This entails the use of high powered race cars that are specially manufactured for the purpose of speed and aerodynamics.

With the steady rise to fame that the said sport is enjoying, more and more people are thinking about getting into the field. It is no secret that racers rake in quite a lot of money in a year. This makes the racing profession all the more desirable.

But, it is also a well known fact that one has to start at a very early age if he has to have a future in the said industry. Well known drivers even start their career as early as age 8. If your child wants to carve his niche in the fast paced world of auto races, he has to start early and engage in the sport himself.

If one has to make a career out of the said sport, the advantages all go to the one who starts early. Truth be told, it is just like modeling. If you start at your early twenties, you are already considered as a late bloomer. There are even some racers that go karting in as early as six years old.

This is why it is very popular among young race fans. It is the version for children of the adult midget races. The adult version allows cars to run around a track that is about one fifth of the way in a mile. The little tykes, however, are to race about a quarter of the set distance for the adults.

This type has its age restrictions. Typically, only racers aged five to sixteen are allowed. Most often, this is made as a stepping stone by most people to be able to get into the more prestigious ones like the formula one races. If your child starts as early as possible, he can use midget racing to get into the international grand prix competitions and fulfill his dreams of becoming a world class racer.
