Brandon and Tyler with their 1st and 2nd place trophies, respectively.
Sponsors, Old Skool Racing, aka Grandma and Grandpa come to Jamaica to enjoy a day at the race track.
As the sun was shining, the sunscreen being applied and the track getting hotter we headed out for the first heat race. Tyler started on the pole. After 8 laps of being tight and 2 drivers passing him on the inside he would have to settle for 3rd. Back to the pits for a few adjustments.
The second heat race they invert so he would start last (4th). After pit crews help of loosening the kart, 2 good inside passes, and good lines Tyler would come away with a 2nd place finish. That would give Tyler an outside front row start for the feature. After 3 restarts the feature was finally underway. He had his fastest time of the year with a lap time of 15.65 sec. on the 1/5 mile oval. Where he started would be where he finished, 2nd. He had a good day of learning lines, passing, and kart handling. Tyler has next weekend off from racing. He will be heading out on the open road with grampa for a trip in the truck. Have fun and we all can't wait to see the pictures.
