Christopher Tullis, a 12-year-old racer from Dacula, GA won big recently at the USAC Mopar .25 Midget “Generation Next” National Tour event at the MAQMA .25 Speedway in Braselton, GA, hosted by the Metro Atlanta Quarter Midget Association (MAQMA).
Tullis won the Senior Honda Division against 21 other drivers. He started fourth out of 10 cars for the main event.
“It’s great to have all of these families come to town to race at our track,” said dad and crew chief, J.L. Tullis. “These kids have made friendships all over but come to national events to compete to be the best of the best.”
The Tour stopped at the Braselton, Georgia track located on the grounds of Lanier National Speedway. With over 160 cars in the pits, the tour stop was number three out of 15 for the United States Auto Club Youth group.
Both males and females ages 5 – 16 years of age compete in quarter-midget race cars. The 1/4 scale cars resemble an Open Wheel Midget and are powered by Honda, Briggs and Deco power plants. The program offers children the chance to compete in a race car and includes a Rookie Training Program at each track.
You cannot decide for sure who is telling the truth. And hence it reacts faster on the body. This might be due to insufficient calorie intake apart from the obvious cancer-mediated hypermetabolism and hypercatabolism.

In Georgia, youths compete on 1/20th of a mile, concrete ovals, but elsewhere in the country, some clubs race on dirt. There are over 57 clubs in the US and Australia.
There was great racing to be seen, even with just a handful of cars on the track. One incident happened when Harrison Burton, son of NASCAR star Jeff Burton, started second in the Lt. World Formula race. There was an accident on the first lap, leading many cars to pit.
When Burton’s car came in for his two courtesy laps to repair any damage before the race went back to green, his crew jumped into action lifting the car up, replacing a chain and getting him back out leaving him to re-start dead last.
When the field went back to racing, Harrison picked off every driver one by one, and by the time he got the checkered flag, he had almost a half-lap lead.
MAQMA is back in action on March 16-18 with their first points race of the season on March 31 at the MAQMA .25 Speedway at Lanier National Speedway in Braselton, GA. Admission is always free for events. Visit MAQM
