P1 Engines Masters 100cc Sunday Report
Round Four was another epic battle in the P1 Engines Masters 100cc division with the lead group made up of six drivers for much of the race. Contact in the opening corners put Saturday winner Ian Koentges (FDM / CompKart) to the back of the field. It allowed David Pergande (JHM / Redspeed) to pace the early portion until the shuffling began. Top quali- fier Preston Newberry (FDM / CompKart) was the first to work past Per- gande, dropping him down to third. The Texan fought back with strong moves in turn three to get back into the lead. At the same time, Koentges had fought back up to second, and then fell to the tail of the lead group after some tough racing. He stepped up, and by lap 16, was back into the lead. That was the winning move as they fighting for second behind him continued, allowing Koentges to earn a fourth straight victory. Mike Weatherman (FDM / CompKart) came out in second with Pergande fin- ishing third. Newberry settled for fourth with Michael McDonald (FDM / CompKart) in the mix placing fifth.
