Empire Karts Micro Rok Sunday Report
It was a great battle all day long in the Empire Karts Micro ROK class, with nearly the entire field in the lead pack racing for the vic- tory in the Final. Prefinal winner Ashton Woon (Nitro Kart) and Sat- urday winner Rhys Bowman (FDM / CompKart) continued to swap the lead lap after lap. Top qualifier Jaxon Porter (Ruthless / Nitro Kart) eventually got into the middle along with Troy Ferguson (Benik). Ferguson moved himself up into the lead before Porter took over with a few laps remaining. The race to the checkered flag went to Porter, just ahead of Julian Sanchez (GFC) with Woon in third. Penalties however adjusted the podium results with a three position penalty to Porter for impeding and two positions for contact on Sanchez. That promoted Woon to the top of the podium for his second victory of the season and put Bowman to second. Sanchez was classified third with Porter fourth and Ferguson in fifth. All five drivers finished with one-second at the line.
