“Racing parents are crazy.”

That’s what people love to say
until they see what really happens behind the checkered flag.

They don’t see the 5 a.m. mornings, the late-night wrenching, the endless gas receipts, or the rubber you’ll still be scrubbing off a week later. They don’t see the nerves before the green flag drops, or the tears you hide when your kid spins out but climbs right back in.

It’s not just “quarter midgets.”
It’s discipline.
It’s courage.
It’s a kid learning how to handle adrenaline, disappointment, and pressure, better than most adults do.

They learn how to win with humility, lose with grace, and keep showing up no matter what the day throws at them.
They learn that speed means nothing without control.
And they learn that nothing in life comes easy, not the podium, not the paycheck, not respect.

So yeah, call us “crazy” if you want.
We’ll take it.

Because while some parents spend weekends scrolling or sleeping in,
we’re spending ours teaching grit, gratitude, and guts.
We’re building confidence with every lap.
We’re raising kids who know how to compete, focus, and push through fear.

You see chaos.
We see commitment.
You see exhaust fumes.
We see a future built on fire, drive, and determination.

So sure, maybe we are a little crazy.
But I’d rather be the “crazy race mom or dad” in the pits
than the parent wondering where my kid learned how to fight for something they love.

Because this isn’t just racing.
It’s raising. 🏁

Shorey Shoot Out Recap 🎃

QHR took to the dirt, at one of her favorite tracks, to close out her Fall season! A super fast and fun filled weekend!

Senior Honda
Powered By Krybaby Performance
Heat 1: P1 > F2 🥈
Heat 2: P7 > F3 🥉
These finishes landed Q in the Fast Feature with some of the toughest dirt racers in the Midwest. It was a thrilling race with a lot action and she held onto it as best as she could. She ended the race in a photo finish with a pack of cars trying their hardest to cross over the finish line 4 or 5 cars wide. It was such a cool race to see and celebrate with everyone!
Feature: P8 > F6

Light 160
Heat 1: P7 > F5
Heat 2: P1 > F4
No expecations for this class of races as her handlers are still trying to navigate some things. We threw on a shock package and adjusted gears and they stuck and executed. Only a few minor tweaks before the Feature and prayed for the best. We told her to drive the wheels off of it and go have fun. Man, she sure did. Executed passes and hammered down. Thank goodness for a long caution as her tires started going away and she had time to cool them down. Another clean and thrilling race ending.
Feature P9 > F3 🥉

Overall, great weekend and many memories made with our race families (minus a few).

No time for breaks as QHR is gearing up for pavement Winter Nationals and The Rumble. 🥶

Thank you to our Partners who kept this season going. Without you, none of this would be possible.

Lastly, thank you to all of Q’s fans. Your (trackside and at home viewing) support, encouragement, messages, and calls really make this girls dreams and goals a reality and are great for her heart and mind. She eats, sleeps, and talks all things racing so thank you for engaging with her in what she loves. 🏁❤️

Thanks especially to Mason Shobe Racing for being our travel buddies and keeping an eye on that back left trailer wheel for us 😁

Thanks to Boles Motorsports for always giving us the tips and tricks and jumping in to help make her go fast.

QHR would like to take a moment to say CONGRATULATIONS to her Mentor, Coach, and Team Partner Trey McGranahan Trey McGranahan Racing on a successful season behind the wheel. 😎🏁

This page has been a little quiet but it’s been a full throttle month!

THQMA Dirt Race 9
Senior Honda P6 > F3 🥉

Final Round of Midwest Lightning #4
Senior Honda A Main P10 > F6
Overall Series Tied for 10th place
Light 160
C Main P7 > F8 did not advance

THQMA Dirt Race 10
Senior Honda P5>F6
Overall Dirt Series Points Finish 4th
Light 160 P5 > DNF

She is back to pavement at her old stomping grounds (Mini Indy) this coming weekend (Sat & Sun) to battle it out for the final round of State Series Race #4!
Q is currently sitting tied for 3rd place in Senior Honda and 2nd place for Light 160.

Proud is an understatement of all of her hard work, grit, determination, and dedication to this sport. The girl eats, sleeps, dreams racing Quarter Midgets so much that her teachers call her Lightening McQuin 🏁

None of this would be possible without our Partners, Mentors, and Friends

Midwest Lightning Regional Update: CCQMA

What a weekend at the most fast and banked dirt track to race on. There may have been no podium finishes but the progress was incredible to watch. It was simply a fun weekend for the driver and handlers.

Senior Honda powered by Krybaby Performance
Heat 3: P1 > F4
B Main: P5 > F7
After driver feedback, we realized we were gear bound and the car felt like it was stalling when she was hammered down. 🫠 Other than that, her car handled beautifully.

Light 160:
Heat 3: P4 > F5
B Main: P6 > F6
This car was fast and she was able to put her car anywhere she wanted with really cool passes. This is major progress for her handlers. A bad wreck in front of her (and questionable re-rack) ultimately had her fighting again for that transfer spot but no such luck.

Major THANK YOU to our partners

Saturday Recap:
(Team Manager has slacked on these posts)

A fun and very hot day at THQMA. The team continues to go back to the books and make tweaks and we are seeing progress. There were no chain or muffler issues and Crew Chief got to stay put in the pits! The cars handled much better than they have been and the driver continues to give feedback about what she would like changed. She may not have podium finished but she did receive the Sportmanship Award and that made us proud. Q really strives to make clean passes and also isn’t afraid to hold her line against fellow drivers. Love to see her fierce competitiveness and also watch her grit and integrity shine while racing.

Thank you to our partners that continuously keep the drivers dream movin’ and groovin’

Midwest Lightning Regional Recap

Senior Honda
Heat 1 P6 > F5
B Main P7 > F5
A Main X car ran 2 laps but had to come back in

Light 160
Heat 3 P6 > F6
C Main P6 > F6

Not a great weekend for QHR. The Crew Chief and Team Manager missed the set up. Driver did phenomenal driving with what she was given. That’s on us. She did complete a feature without a front panhard bar attached, which means a floating axle. The bolt came out and we thought something was wrong with the rear end but found nothing back there, obviously. We will remain positive, put both cars back on the table, go back to starting point, and hopefully attempt to execute better next time.
“If you aren’t winning, you’re learning.”

Overall, a super fun and extremely hot weekend competing with race families and friends.

It’s been a tough season but she is determined to keep pushing and drive hard each time!

(Sorry again for the technical difficulties. It was so hot my phone was overheating and shutting off and Team Manager was needed in the pits.)
