Standing just {{convert|5|ft|1|in|m|2|abbr=on}} tall and weighing {{convert|135|lb|kg|abbr=on}},[1] Ritter was "one of the best" board track drivers of his time,[1] racking up an unequalled winning record.[1] He scored five wins in a row at the velodrome in Nutley, New Jersey[1] and four straight at the Coney Island Velodrome.[1] At Castle Hill Speedway in the Bronx in 1940, Ritter won the 150-lap race from last place,[1] an "unprecedented" performance for an outboard midget.[1] He claimed the national flat track racing title that year, also, and the Heiserman championship in 1940 and 1941.[1] Ritter often won against opponents in larger and more powerful cars.[1] He was killed in October 1948 while changing a tire at trackside, when he was hit by another competitor.[2] Inductions
