Battle lines drawn for Sunday’s Int’l Drag Race Meet
With its popularity growing increasingly this Sunday Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMRSC) International Drag Race Meet, at the South Dakota Circuit is anticipated to enjoy massive support according to a source close to the fraternity.
With racers from Suriname, who have named a strong contingent and a couple of racers expected from Trinidad and Tobago anticipated to compete against Guyana’s dragsters, motor racing fans will be in for a treat when competitors take to the starting line in pursuit of championship honours.
Two competitors face starter’s orders at a previous Drag Meet, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Fans will have the 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 the official, 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 fast Typhoon 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 is also expected to make the trip.
However, on the local end, the likes of Anand 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, Kevin Deodass and Sanjay Persaud.
The source further informed that even though the Superbikers have not confirmed participation, the Organisers stand willing to accommodate them as part of the day’s action should they wish to compete.
The official added that race fans 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 are being sponsored by GT&T, Banks DIH Ltd, Valvoline among others.
