Ian ‘Dumb Boy’ Jackson will once again be out to prove that having a disability does not in no way hinder the differently able athletes from competing on even keel with the others.
Jackson, the defending champion of the feature 30-lap race, will be going all out to retain the top spot when the Carlton Wheelers Cycle Club brings off their 7th annual Track Meet on Sunday at the Everest Cricket Ground, Camp Road and Carifesta Avenue, Georgetown.
Jackson though, will have to evade the challenge of a number of his rivals including the likes of Alonzo Greaves, Geron Williams, Christopher Holder, Robin Persaud and Lear Nunes, among others.
The day’s activities according to main organizer Hassan Mohamed, promises lots of competition, fun and excitement with 29 races listed.
Another event that brings the crowd alive and is very competitive is the devil takes the hindmost. Last year’s winner was Greaves.
Among the races listed which will see all the usual category racers competing are upright, veterans under and over 50, juveniles, juniors, 12 14 years open, category 1, 2, 3 &4 along with BMX races from 6 12 years up to open.
Corporate support for Sunday’s activity which is expected to be well supported by fans has been very satisfying to date according to Mohamed.
Corporate entities on board to date are Banks DIH, National Sports Commission, Guyana Forestry Commission, Rentokil Initial Guyana Ltd, All Bearings Enterprise (Koyo), Laparkan Air & Sea Cargo Service, Cummings Electrical company, Auto Fashion, Guyana Olympic Association, Hand In Hand Insurance Co., Patrick Santos, Raymond Perez Snr., Kevin Jeffrey (Rigg Plus), Global Technology, Delta Airline, Starlite Drive In, Khemraj Ramjattan (Attorney at Law), Nayendra Poonai (Attorney at Law), House of Optics, Trophy Stall, Universal Auto & General Supplies, RRT Enterprise, Modern Optical Services, Mac’s Tyre Service, Auto World & General Store, Ricks & Sari Argo Industries Ltd, Verdun Soda Factory and Gee Q Barber Shop.
