MRFKC Saturday Update
Race day number five of the MotoMaster Ron Fellows Karting Championship is complete following a great day at the Mosport Karting Centre.
Here’s a quick update on each of the Finals taking to the track.
ROK Junior
Taking his first win of the season at a track he’s enjoyed many successes at in the past, Callum Baxter controlled all day long in ROK Junior. With the exception of an early battle with his Prime Powerteam teammate Marco Filice, Baxter went unchallenged all the way to the checkers and took home the Pfaff Junior Driver of the Day award as well.

ROK Senior
Robert Soroka held off Patrick Woods-Toth to initially score the race win ROK Senior, however, he was excluded in post-race tech for grease in the clutch. This gave the win and confirmed the championship to Woods-Toth.
A wild scurry on the final lap saw Andrew Maciel come out on top to take second just ahead of Cole Hooton and Dale Curran, who charged from last to fourth.

Briggs Junior
The big news this morning was the absence of championship contender Logan Ferguson.
In the Final, Logan Pacza and Steven Navratil tried to break free, but just couldn’t get away from Daniel Ali and Ari Korkodilos. Waiting until the final lap, Navratil had to work hard but found his way by in the bowl to take the lead and the win. He was also awarded the Champion Fined Tuned Award.

Briggs Senior
Adam Ali and Pearce Herder were able to get out front early and pulled away. Herder pushed until the second last lap, made a pass in the final sector and then held off Ali, who still celebrated locking up the championship.
The fight for third was wicked, with tons of passing and wheel-to-wheel action. Jordan Prior was able to come out on top of it just ahead of Jon Treadwell, who charged through the field.
