TQ Midgets

Like Midgets, Three Quarter Midgets also have quite a history at Springs Speedway and provide some of the closest wheel to wheel action you'll see anywhere.

The TQ Midget ranks are also used as a stepping stone to the higher horsepower classes such as midgets and sprintcars. Many of our top Midget drivers have progressed from the TQ ranks including past NZ Midget Champions Graham Standring and Kevin Hyde.
