Iñigo Anton made the switch from karting with ease as he notched four victories in the opening leg of the Phoenix Petroleum National Slalom Series held recently at Robinsons Novaliches tracks.
The 12-year-old Anton bagged the “Novice Best Time of the Day” trophy with a time of 46.18 seconds and had three division wins.
Anton’s father, Carlos, meanwhile took the “Front Wheel Drive Best Time of the Day” and had four first-place finishes.
