Join us in the final steps to save the  

Capitol Quarter Midget Association in 

Rio Linda, California

As many of you know, the Roy Hayer memorial racetrack has been in Rio Linda for over 50 years providing racing for kids 5-16 years old.  Last year, Capitol was in jeopardy of losing our lease and faced with the daunting task of finding a new home or putting up a fight to save our track.  Well, we did it!   We saved our track, but now we need to raise $50,000.00 to secure our track and ensure we will still be racing in Rio Linda for another 50 years.  So we need your help!  The Capitol Quarter Midgets are on a fundraising mission.   With each CQMA family making personal contributions, we still need a lot of help.  For years this race track has launched the racing dreams of many kids and we don’t want to stop now.  We are an organization that believes in family and community.  We need your donation today in order to help us save this track for our kids and future generations to come.
