The Texas Dwarf Car Association will make its second and final appearance of the season Saturday night at Abilene Speedway. Other than the destruction derby, the dwarf cars have been the second most popular attraction at the speedway this year. Dwarf cars originated in 1980 and eventually enough were built to form a point series in 1987. There are currently more than 50 dwarf car racing associations in 35 states. Each of the cars is powered by a four-stroke motorcycle engine.
Drivers give autographs and candy to fans after every race.
Each car is represented by a different cartoon character to help kids identify cars. The TDCA was formed in 1991 has 110 cars in Texas. In addition to the dwarf cars, the speedway will feature its regular schedule of racing which includes IMCA modifieds, super stocks, mini modifieds, street stocks and pure stocks. The Quaker State 100 was featured last week at Red River Speedway in Wichita Falls, and the Abilene entry of Big John's Chassis led every lap for the win. E.W.
