EDWARD PORTZ JENSON ALTZMAN Ruthless Karting Senior Rok Sunday Report The Senior ROK division nearly welcomed a fourth different winner on the season. Jenson Altzman (Ruthless / Exprit) found speed overnight and was quickest in qualifying. He nearly won the Prefinal, only to slip back to third behind Tucson winners Oliver Calvo (LEM / Praga) and Jake Drew (CompKart). A wild opening corner dropped Drew down to seventh and Calvo to 10th, as Altzman jumped out to solid lead. Joey Brienza (Nash / FA Kart) eventually was able to move to second and ran down Altzman toward the second half of the race. As he closed, so did Calvo, who charged his way through the field with fast laps of the race. On the final circuit, the trio went scrambled for position with Calvo coming away with the lead. Altzman crossed the line second with Brienza third and Edward Portz (Nash / FA Kart) right there. A penalty for cutting the track in the final corner by Brienza took him off the podium, dropping him to sixth and moving Portz to third. That also promoted Drew to fourth and Jonathon Portz (Nash / FA Kart) to fifth.
