What is a Microd?
Microds are race cars designed for kids! Microds are powered by one cylinder Briggs and Stratton motors. There are specific rules for engine modifications, car weights, and necessary safety equipment. The Microd rule book and car building plan is provided by the New York State Microd Association. Local and state officials oversee the enforcement of the rules. Microd racing is made up of two main divisions, Microds and Open Wheel Microds, with multiple sub classes based on age.
