Ramchand aiming for overall title
Overall champion driver in last April Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) Drag Race Meet which was held at the South Dakota Circuit Anand Ramchand speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday via telephone expressed confidence of doing well, at this Sunday’s International event.
Ramchand told this newspaper that he will once again be vying for the overall title and have decided to compete in four different categories with a similar amount of machines which he also disclosed could very well be a first in local drag racing.
The local speedster will be thundering down the Circuit in a Toyota Supra in Category D, a Mitsubishi Evo 4 in Category E, a Toyota Starlet in Category C and a Toyota AE81 in Category B.
He added that his team of mechanics has rebuilt the engines and installed some new parts as work continues on the four cars. The head mechanic was due to arrive last evening from Miami to oversee the fine tuning of the machines.
At the April Meet, Ramchand successfully raced in the Toyota Supra and the Toyota AE81 cars, competing in the C and D categories, to capture the coveted overall trophy.
The Meet will see competitors from Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago compete against the Guyanese in what is anticipated to be an exciting day of racing.
