Alex Twiname and his family want to realise his dream of starting a career in speedway racing! He needs help to get his quarter midget car up and running with a new engine, new paint job, new seats, seatbelts, steering wheel, fireproof suit, helmet etc etc. There are also ongoing costs during a race season (usually between 12-20 meetings per season) including car maintenance, tools, licenses, track hireage for practicing and travel costs.

The People Behind Team Twiname's Quarter Midget Race Dream
My name is Alex Twiname and me and my family want to realise my dream of starting a career in speedway racing!
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to race at the speedway in my own quarter midget car! It's in my blood - my dad, grandad and great-grandad all built and raced karts. But I want to try something a little different, and that is quarter midget racing, leading on to midgets, sprint cars and after that, who knows where I could go?! I could be the next Bruce McLaren! (without the crashing odf course! My mum wouldn't allow that!)

I live and breathe this stuff and can't wait to actually be able to get out on the track!
