Bugeja's first pole, win

Another round of races in the National Four-Stroke Karting League was held on March 19 at Badger Karting. During the first race of the evening Sandro Bugeja's dedication and hard work paid off as he secured his first pole and race win of the season with a fine display of racing.

Andrea Frendo finished second, even though she was handed a stop and go penalty for an infringement, and Matthew Ciappara finished third.

The next race had the leading three contenders for the title against each other. Zack Zammit secured pole by the closest of margins from Justin Aguis.

During the race the same two drivers were at each other from the word go. Meanwhile, Jonathan Tonna was expected to challenge the leading two but, due to a change of kart in the last moments before the race, he had to start from the back of the grid.

Here he was challenged all the way by Mario Micallef in an exciting but fair dual. In the end Zammit took the honours with Agius second and Alan Curmi third.

Fastest lap of the evening went to Justin Aguis with 26.73 seconds.
