Midget Front Bumper Black

The MPD Racing Midget Front Bumper in Black is a purpose-built tubular steel bumper designed for sprint car and midget race vehicle applications. Constructed from 0.875-inch outside diameter steel tube with 0.065-inch wall thickness, this single-bar front bumper delivers the structural integrity required for short-track racing while maintaining the minimal weight critical to competitive performance. The black powder coat finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance in the garage and on the track.

The 0.875-inch diameter tube strikes the balance between rigidity and weight that midget racers demand. Thicker-walled bumpers add unnecessary unsprung mass; thinner profiles compromise durability under the constant contact and vibration of short-track racing. The 0.065-inch wall achieves this balance while maintaining sufficient material to withstand track contact and minor impacts without permanent deformation. Black powder coating penetrates uniformly and cures to a durable finish that resists chipping and rust better than standard paint, a critical advantage during the extended outdoor storage and variable weather exposure common in race shop environments.

This front bumper is engineered for midget and sprint car builders who prioritize both chassis protection and weight savings. The single-bar design clears suspension components and allows unobstructed access to steering, cooling, and brake systems while providing forward-end protection against tire contact and minor track debris. At 1.11 lbs, the bumper adds minimal rotating and unsprung mass, preserving the power-to-weight ratio and handling responsiveness that defines competitive short-track racing. MPD Racing bumpers are recognized as OEM-quality components among sprint car and midget racing teams, offering consistency with other tubular components in professional race builds.
