Engine trouble greets Carcel's '09 campaign

CEBU, Philippines - The Carcel siblings started their bid in the 2009 National Karting Series in contrasting fashion over the weekend in Carmona, Cavite.

Tonyo Carcel’s debut in the KT Formula SL class was a race to forget as he suffered an engine trouble.

Carcel, who was among the top awardees during last month’s 27th SAC-SMC All-Cebu Awards, is far from giving up though. He even looks forward to a better race in the second leg next month in Manila.Tonyo’s younger sister Kali made up for his loss by placing third in the mini ROK division – the category he dominated last year with finesse. – Caecent No-ot Magsumbol (THE FREEMAN)
