Endurance Race to start off GMR&SC 2011 Programme
Having had to cancel the season opening Drag Race Meet which was scheduled to be staged on February 20 due to the deaths of two members of the racing fraternity, the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club 2011 programme will finally get started on March 13 with an Endurance Meet at the recently resurfaced South Dakota Circuit.
According to Club President Raj Boodhoo, the sudden demise of race driver Raymond Alli and mechanic Errol Gonsalves who lost their lives in separate accidents forced a cancellation of the previously timetabled Drag Meet which would have seen the best local drivers in this category go up against nemesis Suriname in a highly anticipated showdown.
The next event on the club’s calendar is their first Race Meet of the year and this will be held on April 3, at the South Dakota Circuit.
The first set of Drag Racing will be staged on May 1 and that will be followed by the initial leg of the Caribbean Series on May 23, at Dover Speedway in Jamaica
Go Kart Racing returns to the club Headquarters on Albert Street on June 5 with another Drag Meet set for July 3 at the South Dakota Circuit.
The second round of Circuit Racing returns on July 31, before the August 21 Drag Meet and that will be followed by the exodus of local drivers for the second leg of the Caribbean Series at Bushy Park in Barbados on August 28.
Racing then enjoys a lull until November 13 when the final leg of the Caribbean Series is held at the South Dakota Circuit and that precedes the final event of the year which is the Endurance Meet on December 4, at the South Dakota Circuit.
