    Default New “Lee Racing Development Driver “ Wins

    “Oh No !!! Another “Lee Racing Development Driver “ on the Way

    I was at Homestead Kart Track this past weekend for the 2015 Junior Championship. Jon Lee, son of famed small bore Formula Car Tuner/Engineer James Lee was Crowned 2015 Champion.

    “We worked hard on setup since Friday test day and all the hard work paid off ” said Jon who is 14 years old. “The heat caught us out a little today but we made a rear track and sprocket change and well it worked – we won”

    Jon, who will stay in Karts for the short term, is working to attend engineering school after high school graduation but was quick to add that there is my dad’s “….Van Diemen in the shop and will start working on it for late next year ……"

    It seems like it was just the other day he was sneaking in our motorhome to catch up on his cartoons and grab a candy bar.

    Wait a minute.... that was just the other day!

    ^ that picture is from when he was the shortest guy on the team. Then came Kyle, now James is back to be the most height challenged

    Congrats Jon, well deserved.
