David eyes more Petron karting glory

The third leg of the 2019 Petron Blaze 100 ROK GP Super Karting Series fired off Saturday with Zach David seeking a reprise of his amazing victory over Asian junior champion Bianca Bustamante in the two-day event that ends Sunday at Clark International Speedway.

A 10-year-old fifth grader from Keys School Manila, David topped the rain-drenched Round 3 at the same 1.2-kilometer track over Bustamante and Japan’s Hisachi Kobayashi last month before finishing third to another Japanese, Ayato Iwasaki, and Bustamante in Round 4.

Melwin William Tan also sets out to duplicate his two-round sweep of the Mini ROK class, while Shaniah Quinones tries to repeat in the 10-lap Petron Academy Intermediate class over Luigi Co.
