J&D Racing Fans, Monday, 6/8 was another good night for J&D Racing. The weather was nice - temps in the 80’s in the afternoon and the high 60’s as the feature races were taking place. Neither guy set new personal lap times but both ran well.
D started 5th of 7 in the first heat race. He fell to 7th on the first lap and ended up finishing there. He stayed up with the pack but wasn’t able to make a move on anyone to pickup a spot. His 7th place finish put him in the 2nd feature race starting in the 5th spot of 7 karts. D fell to 6th on the first lap, but picked up 5th spot on lap 5 and 4th spot one lap later. The first three karts had pulled too far away for D to challenge any of them for a podium finish in the remaining 4 laps. A good job though to take advantage of the situations when they presented themselves. D is now 9th in the point standings. Keep up the good work D!!
J started 7th of 9 karts in the 6-lap Tiger A heat race. He moved up to the 5th spot on the first lap and up to 4th on the next lap. He and the #43 kart battled for 3rd for the next three laps. J crossed the line with that position with one to go, but bobbled in turn 1 and fell back to 4th coming out of turn 2. Going through the center of turns 3 & 4, J got his left side tires into the dirt and lost his momentum. He ended up getting passed just before the finish line to finish 5th, so that is where he started in the feature race. Watch the video to see how it turns out.
Great Job, J!! Congratulations on your 2nd win. You’re 2nd in the point standings. Keep it up!!
Next race is 6/22 at SMS.
