🏁 HOPRA Circle of Honor – 2026 Inductee 🏁

It is with great honor that we posthumously welcome Randy Kemp into the HOPRA Circle of Honor as a member of the 2026 Class of Inductees.

Randy was one of HOPRA's earliest champions and innovators. Despite living with muscular dystrophy, he became one of the sport's most dominant competitors, proving that determination and passion can overcome incredible challenges.

His remarkable 1972 season remains one of the greatest in HOPRA history, capturing the Indiana State Championship by winning seven of ten races, earning the top qualifier position, and claiming victory at the legendary Twin-N Nationals. He followed that performance with another major win at the annual Indiana vs. Michigan HOPRA race.

Beyond his success on the track, Randy was a true innovator. He became the first racer to win a HOPRA event using the then-newly discovered magnetism feature, forever changing the direction of competitive HO slot car racing. As the founder of K&K Racing Products, his motors powered the winning car at the very first HOPRA Nationals in 1975, leaving a legacy that helped shape the future of the hobby.

Randy's perseverance, competitive excellence, and contributions to HO slot car racing continue to inspire racers more than 50 years later.

Please join us in congratulating and remembering Randy Kemp as we proudly induct him into the HOPRA Circle of Honor. His legacy will forever be a part of HOPRA history. ❤️🏁

Now that everyone has had a chance to settle back in after the 51st HOPRA Nationals, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event such a success!

A huge thank you to all of our incredible sponsors for your continued support of HOPRA. Your generosity helps make events like Nationals possible, and we truly appreciate everything you do for our organization.

A very special thank you to Lucky Bob’s Raceway for once again being such an outstanding host. From the racing to the hospitality, we are grateful for everything you do for our racers year after year.

Most importantly, thank you to every racer, family member, and friend who traveled to be with us. It was wonderful seeing familiar faces, welcoming new ones, and making memories together. The friendships and camaraderie are what make HOPRA so special.

As many of you know, summer is a busy time for everyone. Membership processing will be on a brief pause over the next couple of months, so there may be a slight delay in receiving new and renewed memberships. We appreciate your patience, and everything will be back up and running in September.

Thank you all for another amazing Nationals. We hope everyone has a fantastic summer, and we’ll see you at the track soon! 🏁❤️
