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.
Saturday’s qualifying session was one in which many drivers were pushed to the limit to extract every fraction of a second, and when the dust settled, Persaud emerged atop the time sheets at the National Stadium Parking Lot.
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.
