International Drag Race Meeting on today

Jun 26, 2011 Sports

When the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) host its ‘Clash of the Supermotos’ International Drag Race Meeting today, at the South Dakota Circuit it will be a battle for regional supremacy among the three participating countries.
Guyana will be aiming to repel the anticipated keen rivalry expected from Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago and judging from the preparations that the locals undertook, they obviously are not taking any of the teams lightly.
Suriname as usual have sent a strong contingent, while Trinidad and Tobago’s formidable three-man team have expressed confidence despite their first appearance in Guyana.
There is no doubt that fans could expect a frenetic showdown among the three territories in what is being regarded as a virtual Caribbean Championship.
Guyana’s line-up includes some of the best drag racers in the country and will be led by Rondel Dabi, Ernesto Choo, Aaron Bethune Afraz Ally, Syed Ali, Danny Persaud and Sanjay Persaud among others.
According to an insider, the Surinamese appear stronger than previous years and in the absence of the now deceased Raymond Ally, who was last year’s Most Outstanding Driver, they’ve indicated that they will defeat the locals and Trinidadians.
Once again, Suriname’s quest for top honours will be led by Hans Izfer, who a source informed, has opted to drive a Camaro instead of the customary Typhoon.
He will be supported by the likes of Jimmy Chin Konkiem, Oliver Lip Shee and Jacob Yacoob.
Meanwhile, T&T’s quest for top honours will be spearheaded by Aaron Dowridge in his                Nissan Skyline R32, Hollister  Edwards, who drives an Alta – 1969 (Rail Type) and Imtiaz Abdul piloting an Austin Mini (Rotary Powered).
The day promises to be one of exhilarating action and with the track recently resurfaced  fans are being urged to converge at the Circuit to witness some exciting daredevilry and fast races.
First race starts at 12:00 hrs and admission is $1000 for adults and children are free.
