microd
Microd (short for Micro Hot Rod) racing is a form of youth automobile racing unique to Central New York state. Drivers race on a 1/10th mile dirt or paved oval track. Novice drivers typically race at speeds of 20 mph, while older drivers may exceed 50 mph.〔Mid State Microd Club http://www.microd.org〕 Traditional wood-frame microds were homemade vehicles built of common materials such as plywood. Microd clubs may also race metal-frame classes which use quarter midget cars (making the length of the track the primary difference between microd racing and Quarter Midget racing). New York State Microd Association (NYSMA) is the only governing body for this sport.
==Cars==
There are three divisions of microd racing: traditional wood-frame microds, steel frame microds, and open wheel microds (quarter midgets).〔New York State Microd Association http://www.nysma.org〕 The cars in all divisions are powered by a 3 to 6 horsepower lawnmower engine with a single gearing driving the left rear wheel by chain, or both rear wheels by the use of a live axle. Families often build the cars themselves in accordance with the construction specifications provided in the NYSMA plan book.
