February 23 – AMS Legends and GSKA karts:

I had two races, one in Legends and another in gokarts that weekend. In Legends I drew the 6th position for the start of the heat race. In the heat race I moved ahead 2 positions on the first couple of laps and after that, I kept up with the top three for a while. My car then started to push a little and then they began to pull away from me, but the people behind me still weren't able to catch me. So I finished in 4th. In the feature race, I kept the 4th position and then the person in first had motor problems and that person had to be pulled off the track. I was then in 3rd and I was behind the top two for a while until the car pushed again an they drafted away. I then finished in 3rd. I got my first Legends trophy ever!

In go-karts we had to rush down to Barnesville from AMS and we barely made it for the heat race so I had to start from the back. I won the heat race but they said I jumped the start so I had to start the feature from the back.  I was able to work through the crowd and won the race. 

March 8-10 – Jacksonville WKA national kart race:

I had five races in two different classes that weekend in Jacksonville FL. for WKA. On Friday, I had practice all day. On Saturday, I qualified in 4th in the pro gas class, but my tire pressures were too high. In the heat race I passed 2 people on the first turn and kept that position and finished in 2nd. In the feature race I held that position and tried to pass the person in 1st, but I didn’t have the legs to get around him on the straight, so I finished in 2nd. In the feature race I passed 1st on the first turn and after the first couple of laps the people in 2nd and 3rd drafted by me. I then stayed behind them until the last lap, then drafted by one person  by pushing another but couldn't get around 1^st so I finished 2nd.

In the clone class on Saturday, I didn't qualify or do the heat race due to having to change motors so I started last in the feature.  I passed one person on the start and was able to draft up to the person in first.  I made it past first and kept that position until the end to take the win.

On Sunday in the Pro Gas class, I qualified on the pole.  In the heat race, I was passed by two karts and I stayed behind them until the last lap.  I made a pass for second in the infield and on the back straight and tried to make a pass for first but couldn't get it.  In the feature race I started second and fell back to third on the first couple of laps. I passed a person and drafted first until the last lap, I made a pass in the S's for first.  On the back straight he passed me back and got second. It was a photo finish.

In the clone class on Sunday, again I did not qualify or do the heat race due to motor changes for the two classes I was running.  I started last for the feature race and I got up to second in the first turn. I stayed in second until two laps to go. I passed first but on the last lap he passed me back and I finished second. 

WKA also has a money race on Friday for the Pro Gas class.  We drew numbers for the start and I started 7th.  The race was 10 laps and I ended up finishing second.  I won a free lunch from the concession stand and a $25 gift certificate to Michigan Kart Supply.  

My next race is April 5 with another double header with my Legends car.   

Watch this video of me sliding my iRacing Legends car around while "DRIVE" filmed and produced it. It was incredible for me to do and so much fun.

Look for the tractor/trailer, it is my favorite part by far! Wait till you see what happens! Yes, I really did it.

Thank you iRacing and DRIVE for your supprt!

This past season Murry collected a total of 18 feature wins and two more titles, including the GSKA and Southeastern Divisional championships.

“I am proud to announce that iRacing has partnered with me for 2013,” says Murry, age 12. “I will represent iRacing in Legends racing and kart racing next year.”

“iRacing is delighted to help support Dylan’s 2013 Legends program,” says Kevin Bobbitt, iRacing.com Director of Marketing. “His karting record speaks for itself and he’s clearly ready to make the move to Legends cars. On behalf of the more than 40,000 iRacers around the world, we wish him the best of luck.”

“I just drove my new Legends car at Atlanta Motor Speedway for the first time,” he says. “I had driven a Legends car at AMS many times on iRacing. Driving it on iRacing helped me so much when I drove my Legends car there for real. I couldn't believe how realistic it was. It didn't take me anytime to get up to speed.

“I am so excited to have iRacing support me next year. It will be a huge advantage getting seat time at the track before I even get there.”

I am so glad I drove iRacing Legend cars at AMS before I race there! It was like I had driven tons of laps there already. 

January 5- I just had 2 Legend races these past couple of weeks. These were my first Legend races ever. The first race I started 4th in the heat race. There is no qualifying in Legends so you draw a pill from a computer, I drew 4th. In the heat race I got around one person and held 3rd position. On lap five I ran out of gas (we had problems after practice, got busy and didn’t fuel) and had to get pulled off the track and couldn't finish the race. In the feature race I had to start in last because I didn't finish the heat race. At the start of the feature race I had passed one person and kept him behind me. I caught up to another person and tried to get around him but I couldn't. I then finished the race in 5th.

     January 26- The second race I started the race in 4th because that is what the computer had given me. In the heat race I got around two people at the start and took second. I held that position for almost the entire race. With a couple of laps left, I get a bump and run. I then go to 4th and that is how I finished. In the feature race I had kept up with the top three for a little while and they started to pull away. I stayed in that position for the rest of the race and finished 4th. I had too much oversteer and needed more rear grip so we will make a setup change for next race, February 16.

Saturday, October 13

I had two races today at Barnesville for a GSKA race. In qualifying I qualified 2^nd, but the other kid got the track record with a 24.9. In the heat race I was right behind him until we came up on an over lapped kart and he couldn’t wait to get around her so he took her out. I finished 2^nd. In the feature race in the start, I kept the outside and got around him. He had a much better kart, engine, and tires than I did, but I still won the race.

Saturday, October 27

I had two races today at Barnesville for the last GSKA race of the season. This time it was the same, except my top competitor was my best friend. In qualifying I qualified 1^st by 0.18. In the heat race I stayed in the lead but with three laps to go we came up on an over lapped kart and I tried to pass her but she closed down on me and crashed into me so 2^nd got around me. I then finished 2^nd. In the feature race I got around him at the start and kept the position and won the race with second right behind me.

September 22-23, WKA - New Jersey Motorsports Park

I had 4 heat/feature races this weekend in New Jersey for a WKA national. We had practice on Friday as usual. On Saturday in the animal class I qualified on the pole by 0.07. In the heat race I got passed on the first couple of laps and finished second. In the feature race I started first because of the average that they do. I got passed once again and was getting pulled away from - I was then in third, and the person in second got the meatball flag and was still pushing first. He finally came in but first was too far ahead for me to catch up and pass. I finished second in the feature race. I did not qualify or run the heat race in box stock, because it was too short of a time to switch motors. I did run the feature however and won that.

On Sunday in the animal I qualified second by 0.15. In the heat race I stayed in second and finished that way. In the feature race I pushed first through the whole race and with two laps to go I passed him and won my first WKA animal race! In box stock I did not run qualifying or the heat race again. In the feature race it was a battle throughout the entire race, but on one of the last turns the guy behind me hits me and I almost flipped over, going up on two wheels.

Fortunately I landed back on my wheels and it turned out I finished second after his penalization.

September 29, GSKA - Barnesville

I had one GSKA heat/feature race this weekend. I qualified on the pole by 0.019. In the heat race, I kept that position and won the heat race. In the feature race, I pulled away a little at the start, kept going, and won. This win locked me up in first for points. There are two races left. No matter where I finish, I still win the championship.

I had two GSKA races this past weekend.  I qualified on the pole and in the heat race; I kept the lead through the entire race and won.  In the feature race, we had the dry set up on and just before the race, it rained hard.  We set the kart up to where it was meant for the rain and we were told we had 15 minutes to switch to rain tires. Then they changed it to 30 minutes after we finished setting it up.  When the race started the track was already starting to dry and the kart in second did not change the set up on the kart, just the tires.  Therefore, he had more rear grip then me.  I held him off for half of the race and then he got around me and I finished second. This was the last Divisional race and I won that championship.

We also ran in the Animal class for the Florida Divisional races.  I only ran the feature race because we had to switch motors and there was not enough time between classes to change motors. When I went out my seat came loose and was scrapping the clutch. I had to come in and did not finish the race.I finished 2nd in the Divisional Championship in Animal.
