Zak Mayers has increased his advantage in the Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association (BKA) Championship following a thrilling day of wheel-to-wheel racing at Bushy Park Barbados on Sunday.

Mayers won two races in the Easykart 100cc Juniors class to move his points total to 255.

His cousin, Jacob Mayers, also won two races to move into second place on 216 points, seven clear of third placed Aeden Bruce (209).

Having scored a second 100-point maximum for a clean sweep of four wins in the Easykart 125cc Lights class, Calem Maloney (200 points) has regained the class lead from Kayleigh Catwell, who is close behind on 195 points.

Maloney and Catwell sit in fourth and fifth overall respectively, with new Easykart 60cc Cadets class leader Shamir Eversley sixth on 194 points.

While Jacob Mayers was fastest in practice, cousin Zak qualified on pole for the first Juniors race, which he led from flag to flag.

Zak led for more than half of race two before Jacob found a way past him to win by 1.2 seconds, with Bruce third.

Zak got the upper hand early on his way to winning race three and looked set to do the same in race four, but Jacob passed him two laps from home.

There were close battles in the 125cc Lights, although this time for the places, as Maloney won all four races, with Raizer Stoute having his best meet of the season, second every time.

Aaron Blackett led the reverse grid race two early on, but Maloney moved ahead on lap five on his way to victory.

Maloney then led the final two races throughout, Stoute in an early second-place battle with Thompson in race three, while Catwell claimed her one podium finish of the day, third in race four.

With Judd’s move up to the Juniors, Shamir Eversley is now the leader of the Easykart 60cc Cadets standings, despite winning only one of the four races against his new rival Jordyn Hinkson.
