Riley Harper Racing

It’s a wrap on the 2025 season and a wrap on Quarter Midget racing! We had a good run over the last few years. Riley has grown as a driver and a competitor. Time to move on to 600 mini sprints. Which we will begin shortly at the Bullring in Ocala. We will also get her in the UMP Modified this year for at least some practice if not a couple of races. We would like to thank a few people and our sponsors for all their support.

Also like to thank John Kunstback for loaning us a car and helping out to get us started in the Quarter Midgets.
Darin Harper, Riley’s Dad for some pushing muscle and help when I run out of gas.
Riley’s Grandma my beautiful wife Lourdes for putting up with my shop hours, entertaining the grandkids at the track and keeping the team fed at the races.
Stephanie Harper, Rileys mom for keeping us on schedule and driving Riley and the kids to the track in between all their other activities and sports.
Of course I am super thankful for my driver and granddaughter Riley. She has followed every instruction and just soaked up all the information I throw at her. From easy lessons to some really tough ones. I have no doubt that she will work hard on the dirt and impress me once again.
Lastly but not least. The New Smyrna Quarter Midget Racing Association and all the families that volunteer their time to put on the races and keep our sport alive.
We are not at the end but just the beginning. Stay tuned in 2026.

Practice is in the books. Qualifying is up next for Riley on the first of 3 days in the Little 500 at New Smyrna. Last race for Quarter Midgets.

Mother Nature cooperated and we got a race in. Practice was washed out but Riley started p1 in the second Sr. Honda heat race and took off. She won out by a straightaway at the end. That started her outside pole for the feature. She got to the bottom without giving up too much and finished P3.
Have to thank Krybaby Performance the power showed up for sure!
