Ty has two more years left in Jr Sportsman Champ Blue Plate, but the FCKL will allow 11 yrs old to move up early to Jr Champ. So, in the FCKL race at Fruitland Park Ty participated in three classes. In the Jr Sportsman Champ Blue Plate, Ty was running a strong second place only to have the throttle linkage come loose and ended up third due to lapping the rest of the field. In the Jr Champ flathead Ty pulled of due to a vibration and finished 7th out of 11 entries. In his third class, Jr Champ Mix (Flathead/BP Box Stock/Blk Plate Animals), Ty finished 4th out of 6 entries. Next race we should have our BP motor ready for the mix class and hope to out perform the flathead we used.
Ty's next race the WKA FDDS was rained out March 13.
Ty's next scheduled race should be the FCKL April 10 race at Volusia Speedway.

Ty had a great night a DDS. In the first feature event he got a hard fought 2nd place finish. In the second feature event Ty won the race easilyby taking an eraly lead and never looking back.
Earlier in the day he also scored two touchdowns in his football game. He was thrown two short passes in which he converted in to a 45yd touchdown and the second reception was a 40 yd touchdown. This has been a tuff month for Ty has he was on a diet and lost 22 lbs. It is hard for an 11 year old not to eat all that junk food when he has to watch his friends eat all they want to. But we are sure this will make Ty a better football player and a race car driver. Way to go Ty keep up the good work

Unfortuneatly Ty did not have the night he was hoping for agian. He was fast tonight and running well while battling for the lead with two laps to go he attempted to pass the leader of the race on the inside when he was pinched down in the turn and spun, but the flagman did not throw the caution flag as required when a kart is sitting in the track. So he went a lap down and finshed 5th. Ty will be runnig the first FCKL race at DeSoto Speedway this weekend 3/8/09. Ty hopes to see all his fans at DeSoto on sunday.
