GFC Karting Mini Rok Sunday Report
A new winner emerged in the GFC Mini ROK division on the day, with third-generation driver Rocky Moran (Nash / Kart Republic) picking up his first series victory. Moran was able to sweep the action on the day, begin- ning with fast lap in qualifying. Getting shuffled back to fifth on the opening circuit, Moran slowly worked himself back up to the front by the end of the Prefinal for the win. In the main, it was all Moran who led all 15 laps to earn his first Challenge victory. The battle for second raged on all race long with Gage Korn (Race Factory) crossing the line ahead of Nico Sarphati (GFC), Charlie Smith (Nash / Kart Republic) and Jackson Glendenning (Nash / Kart Republic). Glendenning was handed a two position penalty for jumping the start, that promoted three-time race winner John Antonino (Race Factory) to fifth. Antonino recorded a DNF in the Prefinal with a mechanical issue. He drove from 17th to sixth, only one-second behind the fight for second on the track with fast laps of the race.
