Dragsters showdown just four days away
In a mere four days time, Guyanese dragsters will renew their rivalry with regional counterparts in what has now become an enduring battle for supremacy in the sport of motor racing.
After spending much time carefully fine tuning their respective machines local dragsters along with those from Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago will take to the track, at the South Dakota Circuit in another highly anticipated showdown that is sure to create much excitement for the fans.
Sanjay Persaud (on the inside) starts against an opponent in one of the races at a previous Drag Meet.
As part of the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) calendar of activities the International Drag Race Meet is anticipated to produce some scorching times and breathtaking competition.
Fresh off a visit to the Dutch territory recently where it was reported that the locals performed creditably with Rondell Daby and company upstaging their rivals, the Surinamese who’ve long been the locals’ nemesis will be plotting revenge and have promised to exact such even if it means shattering all existing records.
Local competitor Anand Ramchand who had hinted about competing in four categories with a similar amount of cars, also has his sights set on obliterating the current records in the respective categories, while Daby’s lightening fast Red Evolution, always a treat to watch, is said to be in fantastic shape and rearing to get on the track after producing a lightning fast performance in Suriname.
Some of the other competitors expected to live up at the starting grid are: Afraz Ally, Syed Ali, Danny Persaud and Sanjay Persaud. A source close to the Organisers confirmed that the Porta Tree Timing System which is equipped with specialized starting lights will be in effect come race day.
The first race start at 12:00hrs and admission for adults is $1000, while children under-12 and vehicles are free. Banks DIH Ltd, Valvoline and GT&T are among the major sponsors.
