(October 8th, 2008) -- Moroso is one of the many tracks that Tyler has not had a chance to visit until this years FWT. Thursdays practice went as planned running the Cadet class. The entire practice day Tyler was one of the quickest on the track even though this was his first visit to this great facility.

After having intense discussion with our major sponsors Mike Tetrault and TopKart we made the surprise decision to move Tyler up to JICA late Thursday afternoon. There was really no need to hold Tyler back the whole year with his age and his size taken into consideration Tyler had nothing to prove after his recent and past performances in the Cadet class. Friday morning by the 1 st practice session Tyler had a borrowed kart, engine etc….. and at that moment the whole Kartel , Miinch motorsports Grandproducts team and even Mike Tetrault turned a few wrenches so the whole team pulled together and put a kart together for Tyler in 1 ½ hours and never missed a practice session!!!!

Tyler being a total rookie w/no testing in JICA and all of our plans for the year out the window we were very proud of how Tyler jumped in and qualified 12 th sat 16 th Sunday

Tyler respectably finished Saturdays final 13 th and Sundays final 18 th.

Tyler would like to send a special thank you to all of the Team Topkart------

Chis Werheim, Joey Hand, Eric, Less, Chuck Miinch, Taylor Miinch, Bendon Phinney, Mike Tetrault, Drew. We could have never made the move to JICA without all of your help and support.
