Dizon pips Choi for Petron triumph

Reigning Karter of the Year John Dizon logged a sensational victory over veteran Jerry Choi to rule Round 4 of the 2018 Petron Blaze 100 ROK GP Super Karting Series at Carmona Racetrack in Cavite recently.

Dizon, of Edgesport Racing, briefly lost the lead in the final race, regained it in the eighth lap and went on to wrap up the 25-lap spin over the world-class 1.9-kilometer track in 21 minutes 54.940 seconds, a mere 0.424 of a second clear of Choi.

It was a sterling breakthrough in the ROK GP Overall senior event for the karter who raced in the shadows of VJ Suba and girl phenom Bianca Bustamante in the first three of the 2018 season’s six rounds.
