Bird Racing

Points Race #1 Results 👇

Gavin had a hard day. Some was out of his control, and some is just needing more time behind the wheel to gain that much needed confidence back.

GAVIN 🦕

Heats:
Jr Honda - P1 to P6 DNF
Jr Animal - P8 to P8

Gavin and another car tangled on the last lap and didn’t cross the finish line, resulting in a DNF 🫤

Main:
Jr Honda A - PX to P0 DNF
Jr Animal A - P8 to P7

The Junior Honda DNF was the result of a big crash on the starting lap. There was nothing Gavin could have done to avoid it but it resulted in so much damage that it ended his race 😩

JACKSON 🔥

Jackson had an awesome day today! A few mistakes cost him in the 160 main but overall a great day and we’re seeing that fire in him to win and the speed in the cars that tells us we’re headed in the right direction!

Heats:
Sr Animal - P3 to P2 🥈
Lt 160 - P8 to P4
Lt WF - P2 to P2 🥈

Mains:
Sr Animal A - P4 to P2 🏆
Lt 160 A - P2 to P5
Lt WF A - P4 to P2 🏆

Thanks to Hawkins Racing ent for the fast engines!

We will be back at LQMA - Langley Quarter Midget Association on May 23rd for points race #2!

Happy Birthday to the guy that makes it all happen, Jordan Bird!

Without you, none of this would be possible. Me and the boys appreciate you and all the work you put into this racing program! ❤️

Yesterday was our second test and tune with club race #2 at LQMA - Langley Quarter Midget Association.

We ran 5 cars for the first time and man was it a lot of work! The morning had us stressed and questioning our life choices, with things coming together a bit better in the afternoon. Here’s how the day went:

GAVIN HEATS 🔹

Junior Honda - P3 to P5
Gavin wouldn’t bumper up in this one so got himself sent to the back with not enough laps left in the race to recover.

Junior Animal - P7 to P8
This was Gavin’s first race ever in this car so although he was car 7, he started at the back as a new move up. He got smashed by another car in this race but finished the race with a bent car so are proud of him for continuing and finishing the race!

JACKSON HEATS ♦️

Senior Animal - P3 to P5 DNS
DNS means he didn’t get to take the initial green flag of the race. His chain came off and we found that the motor plate was cracked. No way to fix this in time so that ended his race.

Lt 160 - P9 to P6

Lt WF - P2 to P3

GAVIN MAINS 🔵

Junior Honda A - P10 to P9

Junior Animal A - P8 to P6

We saw improvement in both classes for Gavin’s afternoon races. He was racing with experienced kids and was proud of himself for not finishing last. Can only go up from here!

JACKSON MAINS 🔴

Senior Animal A - P5 to P4

Lt 160 A - P6 to P4

Lt WF A - P3 to P2 🥈

Solid drives from Jackson in his afternoon races too! He’s really figuring out the World Formula which is cool to see. With Jordan having to fix two cars from the heats to get them track ready for the mains, doesn’t leave any time to make adjustments to the other cars. Will be a time crunch all season I’m sure and is something we will have to figure out.

Next up will be our first points race of the season on Saturday May 9th!

Thanks to everyone who stepped in to lend a hand to get our cars fixed in the pits, we appreciate you!
