Mini Dwarfs: Little league of racing getting popular at Speedway

It wasn't that many years ago when racing options for those under the age of 16 were few and far between. Go-karts have long been about the only choice, but for parents looking to get their children into dirt-track racing, there were not a lot of options. Like none.

Enter something called Mini Dwarfs -- a scaled down race car powered by a Honda lawn mower engine with a body replicating pre-1948 cars or pickups. Think go-kart with a roll cage and body.

Bakersfield Speedway owner Scott Schweitzer saw the division in action a few years ago at Ventura Raceway and thought it would be a good opportunity for his son, Brody, now 16, to get into the sport.

Schweitzer bought a car, put his son in it and had him race a couple of times at Ventura before introducing the class to his own track.

Now the track just north of Oildale has turned into Mini Dwarf Central -- the most popular location for Mini Dwarf racing from Bakersfield south.

"I knew a lot of the racing dads had younger kids and thought it would go pretty well in Bakersfield," Schweitzer said. "I expected it to grow but had no idea it would go and be this big."

On July 16, 18 drivers were on hand for the senior division -- for 9-to 12-years olds -- and there were 13 entrants in the junior division for ages 5-8. The young drivers compete on a small oval track -- about a tenth of a mile in length -- cut into the infield of the third-mile clay oval just beyond the front straight. "It's a good learning division for younger kids coming up," said Mike Hood, whose son, Bobby, 12, competes in the senior division and has three wins.

"I went through the go-kart deal on pavement and some on the dirt and I wanted (Bobby) to get involved in something on the dirt," said Hood, who used to race at Bakersfield Speedway as well. "This is great for kids learning the race track, the flags, positioning ... it's just a good learning curve."

Schweitzer said it wasn't easy getting the division started -- there were insurance and liability issues (for instance, all of the youngsters must pit in their own area outside of the main pits) -- but sees the venture as a way to get a younger generation involved in the sport.

As an offshoot, he was able to get his insurance company to lower the age for racers in Mini Stocks and American Stocks -- his two entry-level divisions -- from 16 to 14, providing another opportunity to younger racers. Several drivers who started in the Mini Dwarfs are now competing in one of those two divisions.
