Sonoma2018

Masters Performance Kartsport Masters Rok Saturday Report It was a near sweep in the Masters Rok division for championship leader Erik Jackson (Vemme Kart). David Pergande (FTK / Tony Kart) shocked the paddock with fast time in qualifying, while nursing injured ribs. Jackson jumped out to the lead in the Prefinal, and showed the way the entire 17 laps. It was the same in the 25-lap Final, with Jackson going wire-to-wire for his first victory of the season and fifth straight podium to lock up the provisional title. Jonathan Silva (FW / CompKart) closed up on Jackson mid-race, but a slipup while on his bumper dropped him back to third. He worked back around Nick De Graaf (Vemme Kart) for second but ran out of time to close in. De Graaf completed the podium in his 2018 series debut with Ed Quinn (FTK / Birel ART) fourth and Mike Giles (FTK / Birel ART) fifth after Pergande retired after losing a chain.
