Silver City Quarter Midget Club — Local services in Meriden

I saw a recent post telling folks to save their time and money and to put their kids in soccer. I had the privilege to race Quartet Midgets here and all over the country from the time I was 5 until I was 12.

I also played baseball, football and basketball. I enjoyed my time in all those sports. However, there is something that racing brings that those sports can't touch- the bond with my Dad, the relationships and friendships we made and the growth I experienced 'GOIN RACIN'.'

While we had some truly great wins- Eastern State Champion - more often than not we came home without a trophy. But, the real prize was being with my Dad and learning how to handle adversity and defeat with class and going back to work to get better- as a team.

I am a parent now and I take my kids to soccer ,Volleyball,l basketball gymnastics and baseball. No matter how engaged I can try to be- most parents are either not there or on their cell phones- nothing matches the team my Dad and I became. I even coach my kids teams...not the same.

Yes, I am sure it can be expensive. I have no idea how may parent's came up with the money. But, I am so thankful they did because the time with my Dad and the relationships we made at the track going racing is the best investment they could...

If you’re looking for a place to spend all of your money, time, and patience…this is the place for you! Welcome to Silver City. A track for the children run by adults who are living vicariously through their kids because they now have the money to be there. Everything is at least an hour and a half behind, no one gets along, and nothing is fair. The kids who do excel are talked about behind their backs and the ones who don’t are helped and THEN talked about behind their backs. There is no team work here. No one is recognized for the work they put it, only screamed at for whatever affected their child because lord knows Mama needed that trophy she didn’t get when she was 12.

Do yourselves a favor. Save a lot of time, miles, and money and sign up for soccer. I promise it’s a lot more fun for you and the kids. And yes, I have volunteered. It’s just as broken on...

Enjoyed watching the kids racing. The people running the food stand were very friendly as well as everyone else that I met when I was there on September 5th & 6th. Loved that The Diablo's sponcered the event in Honor of Jack ( Cadillac) Baltas in witch I am the mother of his daughter Nadeine...
