Fans,
Monday was the 2nd night of the WTKS (Wild Thing Kart Series) at SMS (Stafford Motor Speedway). It was a very cool night. Temps were in the 50’s during the late afternoon and into the 40’s at night during the feature races. History has shown that cool nights are not the best for J&D Racing and this night would be no exception.
D started in the 6th spot of his 6 lap heat race. He would end up finishing 5th which was good enough to get him into the 1st feature race for the Tiger Sprint B division. He started last (9th) for the 10 lap feature event. He ended up finishing there, but he showed improvement through out the night by improving his lap times. Good Job D! D is in a 3-way tie for 7th place in the point standings.
J’s night was kind of tough. After bringing home his first win in the Tiger Sprint “A” class (and first win ever), means he started last in the heat race. Starting 10th, he worked his way up to a 6th place finish in the 6 lap heat race. Starting there in the 12 lap feature, he worked his way up to fifth, but on the white flag lap, spun in turn 2. Two other karts spun trying to avoid him, and after everyone got turned around and going again, J managed to cross the finish line in 8th. So it wasn’t the night we had hoped for, after celebrating the victory the previous week, but he will come back on 6/1 for the next event at SMS and give it his best. J is now tied for 3rd in the point standings.

J will be running the “Saturday Night Live” series at Route 106 Racepark in Concord, NH. This is a 5 race series on the last Saturday of each month May – September. The first race of this series is 5/30. Good Luck J! Stay tuned to see how he does in this series.
Blessings to all,
J&D Racing
