May 2, 2009

Second race of the season. Jack is once again driving both the Tiger Sprint and the Jr Sportsman Champ.
Jack started the sportsman heat in first place. He pulled out to a bit of a lead on lap one but took turn 4 way too high and bounced off of Ryan Barry coming across the stripe. He settled into third place until he looped it coming out of turn 4 with 2 laps to go to finish in the fourth spot.
Jack starts the Sportsman Feature from the fourth position. Jack and TJ tangle on the backstretch on lap one bringing out a single file restart. Jack was put one lap down about half way through the race but managed to hold off the 15 from getting around him. With two laps to go he was lapped for a second time and finished the race in fourth position.
Jack started the Tiger Sprint Heat from the second position in a single file start behind the 15 of TJ Bleau. The boys maintained their positions for the entire heat race to start the feature from the same spots.
The Tiger Sprint feature was about as interesting as the heat race. Ryan Barry started in third place behind Jack and followed him around for a couple of laps when he slammed the outside wall hard at the start finish line taking him out of the race for the night. Jack and TJ drove around to the backstretch while they waited for Justins kart to be removed from the track. Once the officials cleared the track for the restart Jack drove around to the start finish line but TJ's kart wouldn't go. TJ also needed to be taken off of the track so Jack drove the remaining 18 laps by himself to take the win.
