Acceleration Karting Junior Rok Sunday Report
In Acceleration Kart racing Junior ROK, Jesus Vasquez Jr. (Charles Leclerc) rolled the dice with LeVanto slicks and the gamble paid off over the laps of the session as he was able to steal the pole away from Diego LaRoque (Tony Kart), who had went with wets. Saturday winner Frankie Mossman (J3 / Compkart) also ran the slicks, and his final lap pushed him on top of LaRoque on the time charts to secure a position on the front row for the Pre-Main. The opening corner of the Pre-Main was as far as Vasquez got as he went off, collecting Tristan Young (Ve- mmeKart) in the process. Mossman took the lead as a result and he held off the race-long challenge of LaRoque, but a jumpstart penalty pushed Mossman back and elevated LaRoque for the win. Mossman bounced back from his penalty to take the lead early in the Main, and he eventually pulled away to a 6.4-second win. Vasquez was reeled in and caught LaRoque. The two went side-by-side into the hairpin, with LaRoque getting the worse of it. Vasquez continued and would finish second with Young in third and Deanna Hoffman (CBM / EOS) slipping past for fourth ahead of LaRoque.
