Post-World War II
             (page 2) 

A resurgence in interest in mite car racing followed immediately after World War II.  The availability of  inexpensive toy race cars (like the Cox Thimble Drome Champion) and small glow model engines spurred renewed interest in mite car racing.

Smaller tether tracks designed specifically for  mite cars sprang up across the country, and weekend races became a part of the social fabric of the country.

As better tires became available, and as cars became more streamlined, speeds increased and competition heated up.
