Do you have children?  Do you spend time doing activities with them that they enjoy? Microding is a sport where the whole family can be involved, parents put the motor on, check tire pressures, and get things ready for hot laps, The driver gets their proper driving gear on and gets belted in. Other Parents and in some cases, Grand-Parents help with scoring, and working behind the counter at the concession stand. Soon it’s pit meeting time, where club issues, and rules are gone over a final time, before racing begins.  A race day consists of: a time trial, a heat race, a second race called an elimination race and a feature race for each driver. The race season lasts from May until September when School starts up again. 

A different type of Racing Club – While many racing clubs have their focus on Racing to win and beating others, our focus here at Finger Lakes is more about clean driving, Spending time with our kids, building that bond between children and parents, and helping others. One of our director’s goals is to keep the racing affordable, so parents can afford to do this for their children. Another Goal is to foster a Positive atmosphere and encourage each child as they progress and improve throughout the race season.

Why Microds? – We’ve already explained part of the reason in the last paragraph, but in addition “You don’t have to own a Microd to race with Us!” Microd rentals are available for the season, all motors are owned by the club and drivers draw for motors each week. Microds have full roll cages and 5 point seat belts and drivers wear full-face helmets while racing for safety.  Another thing our club offers are free Try-outs in April each Spring, Parents can observe how their little ones can handle a Microd before committing to a full Season. 

How do we get Started? – Microd racing is open to Girls & Boys ages 5 to 17 The Finger Lakes Microd Club Track is located just off the corners of Routes 38 & 34B. Another nice feature of the club, they are inclusive meaning they have Special Microds to accommodate children with disabilities or other special needs. We Welcome Special Needs Children!
