Anton rips CIS lap record

MULTI-TITLED racer and 2011 AAP Driver of the Year Carlos Anton posted a record-breaking run  to assert his dominance in the recent Circuit Showdown Round 2 at Clark International Speedway.

Anton clocked a short track record of 1 minute and 5.067 seconds and bested a field of over 60 drivers. He also made it two in a row in the Bracket-A time trial event using his Mark Young-prepared CRX with a Mohspeed 215 HP engine and supported by Castrol, Yokohama, Hornitex flooring, Special Stage, Home Outlet, Autoshack, and Richmond Auto parts.

Anton’s closest rival came in 1 min 06.634 seconds later.

Joby Tanseco, on board a Lamborghini, now sits second to Anton in the standings after finishing 2nd in the first leg and 3rd in the Clark race.

Anton also leads the current 2012 Hillclimb Championships after wins in San Mateo, Rizal, and San Fernando, La Union.
