Strong Suriname contingent for Int’l Drag Meet
(FLASHBACK) – Part of the action at a previous Drag Race Meeting, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Since its revival, the competition between Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago in Drag Racing has generated renewed interest in the particular segment of the sport and come Sunday, March 3 when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMRSC) stages its International Meet, at the South Dakota Circuit.
This is the day that motor racing fans will have another opportunity to determine which country is the best among the three nations and an occasion that is anticipated to be just as action packed as previous Meets, making it a must for those who love to see demonstrations of skills and daredevilry.
According to Club official Aaron Bethune, the foreign teams have already stated their intentions to come down to the South Dakota Circuit, the home of motor racing in Guyana and dominate the local drivers, while the locals have responded by saying that they will defend home turf at all cost.
Suriname which has been Guyana’s biggest threat will once again have as part of their team the fastTyphoon which is no stranger to these shores and has been a thorn in the flesh of our machines, while additional information coming out of the Dutch territory is that a quick Supra will also be making the trip.
However, on the local end the likes of Ramchand’s Supra and Rondell Daby’s lightening fast Red Evolution will all be battling to ensure that at the end of the day, the top honours will be shared by the Guyanese.
Among the other big names expected to represent the ‘Land of Many Waters are Afraz Ally, Syed Ali, Danny Persaud and Sanjay Persaud.
Bethune further informed that the Superbikes category is also expected to add to the excitement and Stephen Vieira, Carlos Rodrigues, Carey Griffith will be looking to not only outdo each other, but all the other contenders as well.
The official added that race fans, for the first time will have the opportunity to experience the Porta Tree Timing System which is equipped with specialized starting lights and allows quarter mile speeds to be recorded.
Races commence at 12:00 hrs and admission for adults is $1000, while children under-12 and vehicles are free.
The day’s activities also come with the compliments of Banks DIH Ltd.
