"Buy A Brick"  Program!!     www.bricksrus.com/order/osqmra       DEADLINE!!!   If you would like to purchase a Brick for our Finish Line we would need to have your order by next Friday, February 8, 2008.   The Bricks take approximately 4 weeks to make and deliver. We are hoping to have our Track Finished in a months time. We don't want the Finish Line Bricks to hold us up from Racing!   *The Walk Way Bricks will always be available to purchase at $150. We have a Landscape Company that will help place the Walk Way Bricks nicely around the Track. He is also donating some Trees to bring shade over a new Sand Box for the Children, and he will landscape the perimeter of our Track. Children’s Youth Sport Needs Your Help! After having lost our Race Track in Pomona, CA. (After 50 Years) do to city construction, Orange Show Quarter Midgets (the only Southern California Quarter Midget Club), are fortunate to have been given some land (from the National Orange Show Fairgrounds, in San Bernardino, CA.) to build a Race Track for Children 5-17 years old to Race again! Our Mission is to provide children an avenue in which to participate in an activity that helps develop skills that are useful and also competitive, with a training ground for boys and girls who enjoy driving quarter midgets in a safe and secure venue. The bonding of these children in this joint endeavor is just what is needed into today’s society! More benefits include: It is a family sport.  Few other sports involve members of the family to participate so much.  Kids drive, Dads are the pit crew and chief mechanics, and Moms volunteer to assist with scoring, timing, and club duties. It teaches the meaning of sportsmanship. It develops coordination, a sense of timing, team work. It teaches self-reliance.  Once the green flag is dropped, the kids are on their own. It is competitive.  Kids learn how to play hard, and that rules must be observed. Kids develop knowledge & appreciation for mechanical devices. It teaches safe driving & develops good driving skills.  This level of skill will be invaluable when they become adults.  They learn there is a place to race an automobile, which is not on the public highway systems where so many young lives are lost each year. It develops a sense of responsibility.  Alertness and a concern for the safety of others are acquired. This sport gives children a well-earned right to a sense of pride of accomplishment.  Kids have been known to stand just a little taller & are a little more confident after becoming a ¼ Midget driver.  This confidence & sense of belonging to a group could someday be factors in helping kids “say no to drugs”. *This Youth Sport is how most NASCAR Drivers got their start! *There are currently over 4,000 Children Drivers Nationally in Quarter Midgets of America. We had 135 Children come to our last "Arrive & Drive", where children can come and test drive our Quarter Midgets. We are currently trying to complete construction on the new Race Track for Children to Race again. Estimates to construct the Track are over $100,000. The work to date was made possible by generous donations of money, materials and labor from Club Members, Families, Friends and Businesses.  We are fortunate to have a Company that is willing to Match this “Buy a Brick” Program. We currently need approximately $30,000 to finish this 100% privately funded project. A way of providing a generous gift while leaving your name or message for your family and friends to see for many years is through the “Buy a Brick” program. The 4” x 8” bricks will be prominently placed on the Track’s Finish Line (only 60 Bricks available) and on a Walk Way around the Race Track. The Finish Line Bricks are $300 each, and the Walk Way Bricks are $150 each (Engraving Includes: Up to three Rows and up to 21 Characters (18 Recommended) per Row, including spaces. You can Include your Logo for an Additional $58 We need the Logo in an EPS or TIF file.) We are a Non-Profit Youth Organization. All Donations are tax-deductible. All donations from brick sales will go into paying the costs of constructing the Children’s Race Track.  Take part in a project that is being built for the Benefit of Children and Families. A place that Quarter Midget Racing can take pride in. A place our children and grandchildren will use for many, many years. Commemorate that special event in someone's life, honor a friend or family member, or memorialize someone special!
