Tyler during a practice session down the back stretch.

The day was a bit cloudy and wet, but the track was dry so we unloaded for some practice before racing began. We made no changes from last week. Tyler was a bit off the pace, so we dropped a tooth on the rear gear and went with a 58 gear hoping to get some more speed down the straights. Although we ran some fast laps, I thought we could still get some more speed, so we dropped one more tooth on the rear to a 57 and sent him out again. He ran about 3 tenths slower, then it started to rain and practice was over. For the heat races, I put the 58 gear back on. He lined up to start second, however, pit crew and driver had some miscommunication about the start and we got moved to the back. Tyler passed 2 karts after a few laps, but ran out of laps trying to catch Eric who already had a sizeable lead. Tyler finished second. Tyler started third in the second heat race and made it to second where he finished. After a short rain delay, Tyler would again start on the front row for the feature, next to Eric, who had the pole after winning both heat races. The feature was action packed as Kordell and Tyler were banging on each other bringing out the first caution, both karts were sent to the back. After a good restart, Tyler and Kordell would again meet in the middle of turn 3 and 4, bringing out another caution, again both karts were sent to the rear. On the restart, Tyler got a huge start and passed 3 karts down the front stretch to be leading with 4 to go going into turn 1. Kordell took the lead by getting by Tyler on the back stretch of the same lap. Kordell led the last 3 laps to take the checkered, Tyler would finish second.
