New to quarter midgets
Help getting started.
Getting a driver on track is mostly a gear question, and the safety list is where most new families stall. We've done it, we've helped others do it, and we'll help you — with the setup work and with the simple jobs.

02 / We help
Four families in the shop. Many more at the track.
Families come to us who aren't on our team — four cars through the shop this season, and a good deal more trackside. They've given us permission to show the work, without their names.
A seat, poured
Fitting a driver properly
A seat that doesn't fit is a safety problem before it's a comfort problem. We poured a seat for a driver from another family so the car would actually fit them.
All season
A car we kept running
One family's car has been in our shop all year — maintained, adjusted and race-ready, weekend after weekend.
The simple jobs
An oil change, taught properly
A lot of what stops a new family is the ordinary stuff nobody has ever shown them. An oil change at the back of the car is a fifteen-minute lesson — and then they can do it themselves.
Setup
Once you're racing, the car has opinions.
Tight on entry, loose off, won't turn in the middle — we wrote down what we've learned about fixing each one, grouped by what you can actually still adjust.
It isn't complete. We learn every race.
