17 Back on track! (2/2)

”Don't worry about it! There my niece and nephew, after all, I should help them were I can” he replied

Jayden who was finally fully dressed came storming back into the living room. ”I'm ready! Can we leave now?” he asked obviously eager to get going.

”Calm down for a bit! Let me prepare you lunch before you leave. You won't be able to do your best when you're hungry!” mom said.

Jayden was waiting impatiently for his mother to finish preparing lunch and when she was finally done he gave her a quick hug then went outside. ”Look after my son Anthony!” Mom said giving uncle Anthony a stern look.

”Don't worry I won't let him out off my sight!” He replied following Jayden out the door.

Outside Jayden was looking at the white Tesla his uncle arrived in.

”Do you like the car?” uncle Anthony asked while unlocking the doors.

”Super cool!” Jayden replied.

They both got in the car and set off. Jayden looked around and saw a bag with camera gear in the back seat. His uncle really came prepared. He would also have to do his best to show his resolve.

The trip took almost two hours. They did not know what to say in the beginning but after a while, they were speaking freely. Jayden noticed more and more similarities between his uncle and his dad. This made him feel more at ease and in turn, made him less distrusting against him. Time passed by fast and before they knew it they had arrived.

While uncle Anthony was renting all the needed equipment Jayden was being briefed with the rules for the day. There would only be free driving today so there would be karts from different classes. After listening to all the rules and regulations Jayden found his uncle waiting for him in front of the dressing room with a huge camera in his hand. When he saw Jayden's shocked face he laughed loudly ”I have to make sure the footage looks good at least right?We have to take any advantage we can get!” He said. Jayden nodded. His uncle was right! Today he was not here just to have fun. He needed to do everything he could to show his skill.

After he got dressed in his racing gear he put on his helmet and got in the kart his uncle rented. He made sure the seating was correct fasted his seatbelts and waited for the marshal to wave him past. His excitement was building again. He was finally back on track.
