Uy rules Blaze Super Saloon in Subic Raceway

DENNIS UY of Velocity Racing stamped his class on Rounds 11 and 12 of the recent 2008 Petron Grand Prix Series at the Subic International Raceway inside the Subic Bay Freeport, but it was Petron SRA’s Kookie Ramirez, who took home the championship by virtue of his unassailable lead going into the final leg.

Uy set the tone of the final race weekend when he edged out second-placer Juni Binamira of Black Knight Racing and third-placer Joselou Romero-Salas in Round 11, wherein pre-race favorite Louis Ramirez of Petron SRA was unable to pose a challenge after falling prey to a puncture.

In Round 12, Uy took advantage of pole position to put some space between himself and the hard-charging Ramirez, who started from last place and climbed up to second place at the checkered flag.

Third place again went to the consistent Romero-Salas.

Despite his non-appearance at the event, Kookie Ramirez won the overall championship by amassing 60 points in the 10 previous rounds.

Second overall went to Uy, who earned 58 points and also nailed the Super Saloon “A” category, Louis finished third just one point adrift of Uy.

Mike Tuason of TRS finished 11th overall to secure the “B” Championship, while Menchie Francisco of SRA Racing finished eighth and took home the “C” title. Manila Standard Today
