FLYNN Jackes carried the fight for the TRS-Castrol Racing Kids Team as he staged a big comeback in the final race to rule the Mini-ROK Cup at Clark International Speedway recently.
The 9-year-old Fil-Australian, who started last in the final race completed nine laps in 10 minutes and 29.445 seconds.
It should have been a sweep as Jackes topped the time trials, clocking 1:10.169, and prevailed in the qualifying heat by 0.129 of a second. But a spin-out on the first lap of the Pre-Final heat put him last in the Finals.
“The incident was a big test of Flynn’s fighting spirit and determination,” said JP Tuason, TRS founder and president.
The Mini-ROK Cup is the second of three titles Jackes is eyeing this season after topping the Mini-ROK crown of the Karting Super Series. Cedelf P. Tupas
