Kaieteur Sports – The weather was not the only scorching thing this weekend as Jumbo Jet Events staged the first round of its Need for Speed Karting Championship at the 555 Speedway in Georgetown.

Jeremy Tenpow, Paige Mendonca, Zachary Persaud, and Asrudeen Mohamed were all successful in their bids to take early leads in their respective classes of the three-round championship.

Tenpow rode to three wins on the day, including the day’s champion rider in the SuperMoto Senior Class. In the first heat, he left Andrew Jordan and Matthew Phang to squabble for second, while in the Pre-Final, Phang got the better of Jordan. A joint second was awarded, and the points were shared between Elan Rahaman and Jordan due to an error with the flags in the final.
