Oliver Jordan Racing

Last weekend we took on Sandy Hook Speedway Kart-Um-Downs. 4 track configurations, each with a practice, qualify, and main. Quick maths: 12 times on track in 2 days, in 90° heat.🥵 Yeah, it was a workout.

Sure, there was only 2 of us in class…Podium was guaranteed. But don’t let that fool you. This was some of the most intense racing I’ve had in karting.

Our qualifying gap? .02 seconds. (Grab your phone stopwatch, hit start and stop as fast as you can. That’s the margin.) The races were no different. 12-lap features, multiple passes, and at the end? Still separated by .12 or less. (Same test. Barely a blink.)

When every lap matters that much, 2nd place hits different. So does 1st.

🏆🏆Came home with 2 wins!

Topped it all off making some great new friends.

As always, couldn’t be possible without motors by Snap Ya Neck Racing, coaching principles from Hudson Brown and a quick Gold Kart !

We got to visit Summit Point Motorsports Park to race in the Capital Karting Challenge

Race weekend recap!
P2 🥈for Saturday’s final (which was ran Sunday morning)
P5 for Sunday’s final

The weather AND a cone both tried to take us down. Saturday brought ☀️, then drizzle, then high winds, then a ⛈️ resulting in a track closure, and a shredded canopy. Sunday, Oliver found even more speed, setting a personal best and qualifying 2nd again. Unfortunately, in the heat race, he caught a cone in his RF tire that sent him off-track where it would put him starting 5th in the final. Never quite found the groove after that. Silver lining: the speed is there and we know our mistakes help us learn and grow!

Couldn’t make it happen without our fast Gold Kart and Snap Ya Neck Racing motor!

Mid-60s and ☀️, a beautiful day for practice at United Karting - BWI. Huge thanks to Hudson Brown’s coaching where we were able to gain a second off our lap time!!

The pieces are comin together and we are finding our rhythm.

Shoutout to Snap Ya Neck Racing for the fast and consistent motor and Gold Kart!
