thanks gang cant tell you how excited we are here, he has very good hands and feel for a car.

After the novice teachers saw him take a few laps they red flagged him went over and adjusted his car to 1/2 throttle instead of 1/4 .

We were already talking tight and loose. He said after his first run the back felt a little wiggly so I made a air pressure adjustment which felt better to him. Its hard to grasp someone who is in kindergarten will be racing speed of 25 miles an hour around a 1/10 mile oval.

He did have his first accident, he cut a rear tire spun and was t-boned at full speed. He thought it was cool.... (mom didnt think so)

BTW they we run Honda engines.
