Driving his newly acquired AMV Italian-made kart for the first time, seven-year-old Jonathan Law registered a hat-trick of wins, and his fifth consecutive at the Palisadoes International Raceway in Kingston during the past two race meets.
Last Sunday Law dominated the Baby Class 80cc events, demonstrating what he has learnt so far from motorsport legend, Peter 'Jacko' Moodie Sr, who has taken him into the stables of NG Racing.
"Jonathan is a talented child, who has come on very strong, and I am impressed with where he has reached," said Moodie Sr, "He got a new kart and it took us a while to get working to the level where we wanted it."
Automotives asked Moodie to comment on Colin Daley's loss to Thomas Issa in one of the Rotax Mini-Max events. Daley, who has been dominating the class, won the JKA's top driver's award last year. But on Sunday he won won three races.
Great victory
"Thomas Issa's victory is good for us. He established a new track record and that is what we want. He has raised the bar and what we need is good competition," said Moodie.
Phillip Myers made a clean sweep of the Rotax Junior Class, winning all three races and looked like one of the top contender for the Driver of the Year award. Myers has been very consistent.
Other good performances at last Sunday's meet camefrom Peter Moodie Jr, André Anderson of Kingston College fame, Mario Mair, Sean Jackson and seven-year-old Senna Summerbell, the son of race driver, David Summerbell.
It was young Summberbell's first win at the track, an achievement that swept his father with emotion. Another top performer was Dane Nelson who qualified on pole in the Rotax International Class, but mechanical problems deprived him of thechequered flag.
