KOL BAILEY Swedetech Rok Shifter Saturday Report Shifter ROK saw two drivers lead in the Round Three main event, Prefi- nal winner Race Liberante (J3 / CompKart) and Jake French (FGM / Birel ART). Liberante was pressured by French the entire opening 10 laps, until a carburetor issue put him on the sidelines. This gave the lead to French, and he pulled away to 5.8-second advantage. GFC teammates fought for the final podium positions with Kol Bailey (GFC) earning his first runner-up finish of the season. Top qualifier Cole Shade (GFC) crossed the line in third, but was put back to fifth in the final results, promoting Brenden Ruzbarsky (GFC) to third and William Ferguson (SSM / Exprit) to fourth. Championship leader Hunter Pickett (GFC) suffered a mechan- ical in the Prefinal and came from the back of the 27-kart field to finish seventh in the 16-lap race. BRENDEN RUZBARSKY
