Father and son duo could provide formidable challenge for rest of C/bean

Oct 21, 2012 Sports

 

They are no strangers to the South Dakota Circuit and when the father and son combination of Doug and Mark Maloney descend in Guyana to participate in the final leg of the Caribbean Motor racing Championship on November 11 every fan of the sport could feel assured that the duo will present a formidable challenge to all the drivers that take to the grid.
The two have been a constant feature at all three circuits across the Caribbean and have generally produced consistent performances against the best drivers in the region.
It is likely that they will be joined by reigning champion and fellow Barbadian Roger Mayers in his Ford Focus and he has already shown what a handful he could be after dominating the second leg in his hometown, winning all three races in the Series.
Guyana’s own Mark Vieira, Andrew King, Kevin Jeffrey, Vishok Persaud and Mark Vieira will have the responsibility to repel the challenge of the Bajans and Jamaicans, especially in their own backyard.
Last year, Barbados became the first territory to win both the Driver and Country titles in the same year since joining Guyana and Jamaica in the competition in 2008, and also the first to win the Country title twice – after Jamaica’s triumph in 2008, Barbados claimed the title in 2009, then Guyana in 2010.
Currently, Jamaica leads the points standing with 113 points followed by Barbados on 64, Cayman Islands lies third on 26 and Guyana in the cellar on 21.
Summerbell, driving a Mitsubishi Evolution 8, Peter Rae in the Mazda RX7, Andre Anderson in the Mitsubishi Mivic and Sebastian Rae in the Mirage, gave Jamaica a substantial lead after the Barbados leg and they are expected to lead the charge for ‘Reggae Land’.
In the battle for individual supremacy, Summerbell, after copping a second and two third place finishes in Barbados, maintains his lead in the drivers’ Championship after six races, with 50 points.
