Junior Quarter Midgets
Australia is a not-for-profit organisation. The JQMA
has established a rule book for Junior Quarter Midget racing
in Australia that is compatible with the USA and provides a
single nation-wide formula for Australia.
The JQMA has established a
race licensing system and entered into an arrangement with
NASR to provide insurance cover.
The JQMA will maintain a
public website of news and information, will publicise
quarter midget racing through regular press articles and
will send out eNewsletters to its members.
