Persaud storms BANKS DIH Briggs and Stratton Light pole
$10M Nitro Kart Klash Qualifying…
The BANKS DIH Briggs and Stratton light had over 10 competitors.
Kaieteur Sports – In a show of fine margins, Zachary Persaud snatched a narrow pole for Today’s BANKS DIH Briggs and Stratton and Stratton Senior Light class of the $10M Nitro Kart Klash.

Persaud’s 35.310 ensures that he has the first jump at the grand Prize of $1M on offer for the final today, with Calvin Ming (35.553), Khalil Rickford (35.634), and Matthew Phang (35.799) all sniffing close by.
