JUSTIN Ten Pow kept the Guyana flag flying high this weekend at the Double Trouble Karting event at the Palisadoes Racetrack in Kingston, Jamaica
Ten Pow, who competed in the Mirco Max Rotax event, picked up three third place finishes in the four races which took place Saturday.

He, however, was disqualified after the third race of the day over a mechanical infringement, according to race officials.
In the end, it came down to a battle between Shane Chishlom and Zidan Madden, both of whom were ‘neck and neck’ for most of their encounters.

Nonetheless, the bashful Guyanese was still in top spirts as he looks forward to the remaining races today, giving Chronicle Sport ‘thumbs up.’
In the Mini Rotax class, Jeremy Ten-Pow was plagued with mechanical troubles as he struggled throughout the day.

Junior action saw Jamaica’s Senna Summerbell, who toured Guyana earlier this year, rule the roost with countryman and fellow tourist, Tommi Gore finishing second by two seconds.
Rayden Persaud was able to pick up one third after his countryman, Mikhail Persaud was demoted while Elan Rahaman finished off the podium.

Mikhail struck bronze on the last race of the day as well, finishing behind Summerbell and Gore in that order.
In the senior class, Matthew Phang did what he could to slice his way through the pack, taking the fight to most of the Jamaicans, but only managing fifth and sixth in one of the most competitive groups of the meet.

Meanwhile, there was one third for Steven Nobrega, who opted to enter the SuperRotax Race.
