The Demands of Quarter Midget Racing Engines
Quarter midget racing is one of the most exciting youth motorsports, but it also places heavy demands on small, air-cooled engines. These engines operate at high RPM, rely on splash-type lubrication, and are pushed to their limits during every heat. Consistency, reliability, and protection are critical—one breakdown can end a race day. That’s why choosing the right oil is so important for performance and engine longevity.
