Quad City Series - Race #2 recap:

Alyssa - Sr Honda - B-Main: Started P3 and battled for the lead as they swapped positions several times. The leapfrogging gave the field a chance to catch up. She ultimately finished 3rd putting her starting 9th in the A, but showed she had the speed to run up front flexing that BRE power.

In the A-Main, she had a great start on the inside row and was up to 4th in the first few laps. Once a car got inside on her she got shuffled back. By the time that got straightened out, the leaders were on her tail to lap her. Just as she went a lap down, there was a caution... which trapped her on her own lap. After getting stuck a lap down, she held pace with the leaders and worked her way past a lot of cars, but being stuck a lap down she was only able to work her way to an 8th place finish.

Huge growth this week with both the pace of the car, but also Alyssa's confidence. While it slowed them down, it was fun watching her battle it out for the lead in the B and also making some aggressive moves in the A. She looked like she belonged there and received a lot of compliments from her competitors and their families.

Vivianne - Light 160 - A-Main: Started 10th after a tough heat race. Vivianne drove it great. The car just didn't have the speed that the other cars had. We picked up speed throughout the weekend hitting better lap times literally every time out, but started pretty far off on setup.

In the main, she had more speed but we are still a little off. Have good notes for a return for MWT at this track later in the year. She made several great passes and at one point got caught in the middle 3 wide as she made a pass and another car jumped to the inside of both of them. They made it 3 wide through turns 1 and 2 and came out clean. From that point on she drove on a mission and moved up a couple more spots to finish 7th.

Current series standings after 2 of 4 races.

Vivianne - Lt. 160 - 7th of 15
Alyssa - Sr. Honda - 10th of 24

A lot of changes on the setup table today and Nervo Jesus ( Jason Barrett ) has Alyssa’s historic vehicle moving! She raced her way into the A-Main and will start 9th in Sr Honda at Quad City Racing Series Toledo event, and Vivianne will start Light 160 from the 10th position. We are currently under a rain delay. The only other time Alyssa raced her way into an A-Main at a big race, the features were rained out. Fingers crossed she gets to run the feature as she was one of the fastest cars on the track in the B.

We join the racing community in mourning the loss of one of our sports legends. In addition to being one of the all time great drivers, Kyle made many contributions to the sport. We are praying for his family, friends, and all of those he impacted.

Race day is almost here! Willhite Racing heads to Little Kalamazoo Speedway this Saturday for Round 1 of the Quad City Quarter Midget Racing series. The high banks are calling and Alyssa and Vivianne are ready to answer.

We've been putting in the work all offseason and we can't wait to see what these two have in store on one of the most exciting tracks that we visit. Fast cars, tight racing, and good people... that's what Saturday is all about.

Come out and cheer us on if you're in the area, and if you can't make it, follow along here for updates from the track! I believe Kalamazoo streams all of the races now. I'll post the link here in the morning.

So dad did a terrible job keeping track of our results from the first points race at our local track. It was our first race with 4 cars and dad had his hands full. I believe this is correct though.

Vivianne
Sr Honda - B-Main: 4th bumped to A-Main: 9th
Lt 160: 2nd 🥈

Alyssa
Sr Honda - B-Main: 1st 🥇 bumped to A-Main: 10th
Sr Animal: 5th

New cars, new classes. We did a lot of learning and got better every time out. We have stacked local group this year and a lot more cars racing too. It’s not too often you run B-mains at a local race, but we will be doing it all year in Sr Honda. With a visitor, we had 8 Sr Animals as well. It was Alyssa’s first time in that car and running that class, so we are really happy with a 5th place finish. Her BRE Animal powered ARC was bad fast and she ran as high as 3rd with good pace but got physically tired towards the end after running almost 200 laps between heats, bmain and features. Big change from running a single car last year.

On to Round 1 of Quad City Racing Series in Kalamazoo, MI this weekend.

The girls do more than drive race cars. This is from Alyssa’s orchestra concert yesterday. Vivianne is in band, both are in competitive cheer, alyssa runs track, and Vivianne does Ninja Warrior / Obstacle Course training ( thank you GRIT Obstacle Training ) We keep it busy around here. So when you see me changing oil and scraping tires at the track in Kalamazoo Friday after we get there, it’s not because we were lazy all week.

Race weekend is finally here!

The 2026 season kicks off this weekend at MMRA, and the Willhite Racing crew is ready to go.

Saturday is the Fun Race, which is a great way to shake the cars down and get the girls back into race rhythm before things get serious.

Sunday is Points Race #1. The championship chase officially starts, and we're coming in ready to compete.

Action starts at noon both days at MMRA in Clarkston. Come on out and cheer the girls on. We'd love to see you trackside.

Let's have a great opening weekend!
