Veteran Allan Ararao bested Alvin Abrigo in his trusty Mitsubishi Evo to rule the second leg of the 2018 Philippine Drag Racing Championships-Southern Series at Batangas Racing Circuit recently.
Ararao posted a time of 7.042 seconds over the 1/8-mile straightaway of the race circuit in Rosario, Batangas, and upended Abrigo, who timed 7.633 seconds in a Honda Civic.
Ryan Quimpo, in another Civic, clinched the face-off for third place in 7.931 seconds of the class confined to the leg’s eight fastest drivers in the preliminaries.
Ararao made it a victory double with an unchallenged conquest in the Super Pro class of the races sanctioned by the Automobile Association of the Philippines.
Quimpo struck back in the Pro class with an 8.601-second clip, with Abrigo clinching second and Romualdo Vasquez finishing third in an Evo.
