Tyler hit a big milestone today….he made it to the semi finals! I am so proud of him! He was the youngest kid at the track today and the only 13.90 car. All of his hard work is paying off and he gave Jason the best Father’s Day yet!

We just took Tyler to his first Wally Race, and while he didn’t come home with a trophy, the 800 mile trip was well worth it!

I have to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race. It’s hard to remember that Ty is most often one of the youngest kids at any race. I like to think starting him young, is building his skills now to win those Wally’s!

Tyler is getting more consistent hitting those green RT’s, he got to race his peers in his age group, vs. the big kids, and he got to race against a different division, seeing how other teams race.

One more race down, many more to go!

Calling all juniors!!

We had an AMAZING weekend in Walla Walla for the Big Foot Junior Invasion. Over 40 juniors came out for the event, all organized by one of our own from Firebird Raceway!

Weekend highlights include:
- Tyler earning some bonus cash for getting a .007 and a .003 reaction time
- Tyler making it to round 2 of eliminations AND was the #1 qualifier.
- watching a good friend going all the way, earning big money!

Watching over 40 kids compete, show sportsmanship, support for one another, while having fun all at the same time is a sight to see.

Tyler is having the time of his life, hanging with the big kids, watching and learning from them!

Thank you again to Slick Kids Apparel for your support!

When Tyler’s not racing, he’s talking about racing!

He had the privilege to take his car to school and educate his classmates on drag racing. He spoke about safety, the details of his car and his sponsor Slick Kids Apparel.

What a memory for him!
