Kopiko Supercross 8th leg set
THE much awaited 8th leg of the Kopiko 3-in-1 Supercross Series will unfold this weekend in Barutac Nuevo in Iloilo City.
Around 160 to 180 riders are expected to join the nationwide motocross series organized by the Man and Machine Racing Promotions.
The eighth leg was initially scheduled last month in Davao City in line with the celebration of the Kadayawan Festival but was moved due to security reasons.
Leading the list of top contenders is Cebu’s Jon Eleazar Adlawan, who lived up to his lofty billing by winning the Pro Open elite category in the 7th leg in Cagayan de Oro City last July 31.
Adlawan edged veteran Glenn Aguilar to lord the 250cc division while Burnok Mangosong finished third.
According to Man and Machines Racing Promotions Manager Arnold Ignacio, they are planning to still hold a race in Davao City when peace is restored in Mindanao. /CORRESPONDENT DALE G. ROSAL
