Thomas's driving skills were sharpened when he attended the Derek Daly Racing Academy for a 3 day racing class driving formula cars in August 2002 for his 13th birthday. Check out details here.  |
Thomas and the number 16 "Stock Medium" kart
that he drove at Hampton Roads Kart Club is pictured at the left.
He won the 2003 "Restricted Jr. Stock" championship with it. This
year, Tara will take over this kart with a revised paint scheme.
Thomas has a real passion for racing, and will also be driving a "mini-truck" at langley this year. Congratulations to all of the drivers! See more pictures of this kart by clicking here. |
The Number "33" and "32" Winged Sr. Champ karts that Thomas and his dad Madison are racing in the 2005 season. |
In 2004, Thomas won his first Sr. Champ race in his 2nd attempt, with Dad pushing him to victory and finishing 2nd, milliseconds behind. In the first race, Thomas sent his dad into a 70 mph 360 degree spin at the end of the main straightaway, but, fortunately he recovered, hooked back up with Thomas, passed 2 more karts in the last 3 laps, and father and son finished 4th and 5th in the first race of the season. Thomas finished the season in 3rd place, but was tied with his dad in points for 2nd.... dad had 1 more pole, which caused Thomas to get 3rd instead of 2nd place for the championship. |
Madison pictured with his Winged Sr. Champ kart |
Madison has been racing for 3 years, and drives the number 32 Winged Sr. Champ. He didn't do too bad in 2003 with 8 top five finishes. He finished 5th overall, but only 4 points away from being 3rd. He finished 2nd in the 2004 season, tied in points with his son Thomas, but with 1 more pole. |
