Dylan Tingey's Second Kart Race in Kids Karts

Saturday morning was fairly cold at 52°F. The track at Miller Motor Sports Park was very slick due to the cold. Dylan Tingey (#6) was excited that Mom had come down to the race track today. He leaves the pits to go out on the track.

Dylan kept chopping the first and fastest corner. He eventually spun out and was facing the wrong way. Dad ran to help turn him around on the fastest corner with traffic coming right at him. Dylan knows that he must wait till the traffic clears before turning around. But, Dad still has a heart attack!!After the race, he must come in and weigh-in. He likes to drive onto the scales. He must weigh -in over 155 lbs or be disqualified. His bother, Jackson Tingey looks on to see if he makes weight. The pull cord broke on his kart right before the first heat. I did not have time to fix it because my kart was having some serious issues (see story to follow). Thank heavens that the Burdett boy's father took the kart and fixed it for me during my qualifying heat.
Dylan gets ready for his next heat. The boy has no fear!! Dylan Tingey gets a good start!!He passes a couple of racers in the final!! He was pretty excited about that! He still is mad that his dad won't give him the full throttle yet. Once again he goes to the weight shack for weigh-in. He makes weight by 1.5 lbs. Good calculation Dad! He had to wait the rest of the day to get his trophy. Dylan is the youngest and smallest of the Kids Kart class. He shows his trophy!!


Good job "Bubs"!!!!
