champion in Quarter Midget racii
The days are getting shorter, the
trees are losing their leaves and
another race season for Comfort
youth Nicklaus Randal has come to
an end.
Four years of racing in six differ-
ent classes, eight different cars, four
different states, over 30,000 laps
consisting of: 170 features, 145 heat
races, over 1,450 qualifying laps
and over 15,000 practice laps prior
to the races (not to mention the
countless days of practice during the
off season) and what does he have to
show for it?
Seven local track championships,
two regional championships, a sec-
ond and a third place regional finish
and a 5th and a 12th place finish at
the Grand Nationals in Florida last
year. He’s also broken five track
records and currently holds three (he
broke two of his own records).
Randal, age eight, is a third grade
all-A’s Honor Roll student at
Comfort Elementary. He races in the
Quarter Midgets kids racing league.
This is the same association which
Winston Cup Champion, Jeff
Gordon, former Cup Champions,
Bobby and Terry Labonte, and many
others have gotten their start.
Quarter Midget racing is a compet-
itive sport for children ages five to
16; however, the whole family is
invited to get very involved.
Randal’s father is his Crew Chief
and Mechanic, his mother works in
the Tower helping score races, and
his big brothers and sisters work the
snack bar.
The cars are essentially 1/4-scale
Midget race car. Unlike Go-Karts,
Quarter Midgets feature full foui-
wheel independent suspension and
I full roll cages. Seat belts and shoul-
I der harnesses are mandatory. Power
comes from a 120-150cc engine,
which specifications are closely set
t by the national governing board and
enforced at each local club race by
officials. The tracks are 1/20 mile
banked ovals comprised of dirt, con-
crete and asphalt surfaces.
The benefits are virtually immea-
surable: 1. It's a family sport — all
races are staffed and run by family

volunteers from local tracks. 2.
Drivers develop physical skills such
as coordination, timing, alertness
and basic mechanical theory. 3.
Drivers develop internal strength is
through sportsmanship, self-
reliance, accomplishment and
recognition.
Since its inception in 1930's Los
Angeles, Quarter Midget racing is
now held in virtually al 50 continen-
tal United States and in Canada.
Depending on what part of the
country and what type of track sur-
faces are available, there is quarter
midget racing going on somewhere
12 months out of the year.
Most races are held on weekends,
with the annual "Grand" champi-
onships races taking place over
three weeks each summer; one for
the East, one for the West and one
for the Dirt championship.
Find local clubs in your area and
more information by e-mailing
David Randal, Regional Safety
Director, at dpran@htc.net or Quarter
Midgets of America at
www.qma.com. Visit the tracks, meet
the members and racers and watch a
race. Many clubs have training pro-
grams where children can actually
learn the rules and how to drive the
car before ever being placed in a
competitive situation. These pro-
grams are strongly recommended
for the child’s safety and the safety
of other drivers on race day. Some
clubs provide all equipment needed
for training, so those interested can
check out the sport without invest-
ing money in a car or personal safe-
ty gear.

Apple Cider Vinegar
for Shingles
Many of us have heard of apple cider vine-
gar helping with ailments such as arthritis
and obesity, but few of us may realize it can
also be used for shingles. Dr. Lust explains in
a book, creatively named Cider Vinegar, that
applying cider vinegar directly to skin affect-
ed by shingles will take away the itching and burning sensation. Not
only does he say it will work, but he claims it will greatly reduce the
itching and burning in a few minutes! He suggests applying the
cider vinegar 4 times during the day and 3 times during the night if
you can. The shingles should heal more quickly doing this too.
