Microd (short for Micro Hot Rod) racing is a form of youth automobile racing unique to Central New York state. Drivers race on a 1/10 mile dirt or paved oval track. Novice drivers typically race at speeds of 20 mph (32 km/h), while older drivers may exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). Traditional wood-frame microds were homemade vehicles built of common materials such as plywood. Microd clubs may also race metal-frame classes which use quarter midget cars (making the length of the track the primary difference between microd racing and Quarter Midget racing). New York State Microd Association (NYSMA) and the Tri County Microd Club (TCMC) are the only governing body's for this sport.
