Tyler Jones doubles at OHKY Rd2

Round two of the OHKY Off-road series took place at SRI Raceway in Kentucky. The round drew in 179 entries for the one day race with some of the best regional racers in attendance. In the 2WD Modified Buggy class Tyler Jones took a late overall TQ from JP Richards. In 2WD Modified Truck Tyler made a clean sweep by winning all three qualifying rounds to take the overall TQ with the only 16 lap run. In the Buggy A-main Tyler then led wire to wire putting the entire field at least one or more laps down. The second place went to Nick Richards with Dylan Gerard in third. In the Truck main the tone went off and Tyler checked out just like he did in 2WD Mod. The young man did have an issue towards the end as the rear camber block cracked around the ball stud and the left rear was rolling over bad through the corners but he dialed it back and still brought home the win from Josh McDonald and Jeff Sumner.
