Bryan Perera, the captain of BKMS Racing managed to qualify third on
the grid with a lap time of 36.221 seconds. But everything wasn't going
as planned as BKMS Racing thought it would.
During the first 53 minutes there was a little bit of contact from
the back and BKMS Racing dropped to fourth place. It was their quick pit
stop that brought them back to the game. The pit crew of Lucky Chaminda
and Amila Sampath did a tremendous job completing the first mandatory
pit stop in one minute and 22 seconds.
As the race was progressing BKMS Racing was finally able to find the
race pace they were looking for with Ushan Perera and Kevin Perera
pulling off consistent lap time. But the team experienced a massive
breakdown with the kart as its chain came off. BKMS Racing dropped to
second place 30 seconds behind the leader, SLR Motorsports. But Bryan
Perera put out a stellar performance catching the leader lap by lap
bringing BKMS Racing back into the game. The last half an hour was the
most interesting segment of the race.
Kevin Perera managed to keep the kart in front and pulled out a
considerable lead bringing the kart home in first place. Blue Pepper
Racing and SLR Motorsports finished second and third respectively.
