Guyana suffer mixed fortunes at CMRC

– wins country title, Summerbell Jnr retains individual crown

Host Guyana suffered mixed fortunes in the final leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) after winning the Country title, but suffered a narrow defeat in the race for the individual crown despite a heroic display of driving by local speedster Kevin Jeffrey, at the South Dakota Circuit yesterday.
Watched by one of the biggest crowd to attend motor racing for years, Guyana completely dominated the Group 4 category to come away with the top honours, but was unable to snatch the champion driver title after defending Caribbean champion Jamaican David Summerbell Jnr agonizingly held off a courageous challenge from Jeffrey, who won all three of the CMRC Group 4 races in convincing fashion.
Canadian Superbike racer Kevin Graham also produced a fantastic performance as he made a clean sweep of all three races to easily win the title.
The much anticipated battle for supremacy in the CMRC Group 4 Division did not live up to expectation as the much anticipated duel between Jeffrey, Summerbell Jnr, Barbadian Roger Mayers in his Ford Focus and Andrew King lasted just one race, before Mayers retired for the day two laps into the second race with mechanical problems, thereby leaving the rest of the guys in the ‘big’ group to do battle.
Jeffrey’s Mitsubishi Evolution was a model of reliability and easily outlasted the opposition en route to easy victories.
Kaieteur Sport will bring the full details as soon as it becomes available.
