Description
Midget car racing was officially born on August 10, 1933 at the Loyola High School Stadium in Los Angeles as a regular weekly program under the control of the first official governing body, the Midget Auto Racing Association (MARA). After spreading right across the country, the sport traveled around the world; first to Australia in 1934 at Melbourne's Olympic Park on December 15, and to New Zealand in 1937. Early midget races were held on board tracks previously used for bicycle racing. When the purpose built speedway at Gilmore Stadium was completed, racing ended at the school stadium, and hundreds of tracks began to spring up across the United States.
Many IndyCar, NASCAR or F1 drivers used midget car racing as an intermediate stepping stone on their way to more high profile divisions, including Rodger Ward, Mario Andretti, Al Unser, Bobby Unser,Tony Stewart, Sarah Fisher, Jeff Gordon, A.J. Foyt, P arnelli Jones, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman and others. The events are sometimes held on weeknights so that popular and famous drivers from other, higher-profiled types of motor racing who race in those higher-profiled types of racing on the weekends, will be available to compete, and so that it does not conflict with drivers' home tracks.
This model is the first of a serie of 5 different, soon available as a bundle on RR Nationale7 shop.
