Motor racers chomping at the bit for action
Local motor racers are chomping at the bit to spring into action on September 8 when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) holds its ‘Race of Champions’ Meet which will be held, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Word emanating from within the fraternity is that the racers are eager to return to the track after a bit of a hiatus following Guyana’s participation at the opening leg of the Caribbean Motor racing Championship which was held in Jamaica.
Speaking with an official of the GMR&SC, the Meet is expected to attract most of the top exponents in the sport locally, while Canada-based Paul Vieira and a few drivers out of the USA
The usually heavily subscribed Superbike category is anticipated to provide riveting rivalry for supremacy come September 8.
are also anticipated to grace the event.
Their presence, according to the official, along with those of Mark Vieira, Andrew King, Kevin Jeffrey, Irfaan Kalamadeen, Keith Evelyn, Ryan Rahaman, Stephen Vieira, Carlos Rodrigues, Shairaz Roshandin and Marcus Fiedtkou, among others, are sure to provide some enthralling skirmishes on race day.
The Meet which was postponed from July 7 due to unforeseen circumstances is a good opportunity for drivers such as Afraz Allie, Syed Hassan and Kevin Jeffrey, all of whom racked up valuable points for Guyana in the CMRC to show that their outstanding performances at the regional event was not a stroke of luck.
They, however, will be going up against some formidable opponents on the local scene and to say that they will dominate their respective categories is not a definite termination.
Jeffrey, who campaigns in the Group 4 category will have to reproduce the Jamaica performance where he chased down the likes of points leader in the CMRC Doug Gore and defending Caribbean champion David Summerbell Jnr, to resist the anticipated efforts of King and Mark Vieira, while Allie and Hassan, two of the leading drivers in the Group 2B Division, apart from their own battle will also have to stave off the challenges of Suriname’s Oliver Tjin Liep Shie, Danny Persaud and John Joseph.
The Superbikes category also promises to be just as exciting as the cars with the young brigade of Matthew Vieira and Nikhil Seereeram expected to continue their competition and this will supplement the ‘big boys’ scrap that should feature Stephen Vieira, Carlos Rodrigues, Kwame Ridley and Carey Griffith.
The gokarts category is also billed to provide excitement and once again the young drivers are expected to take centre stage with Stanley Ming Jnr and Wayne Elliot Vieira throwing down the gauntlet on veterans Marcus Fiedtkou and Stanley Ming Snr.
Samaroo confirmed that all the categories have been subscribed and racing fans can be assured of a full and exhilarating day of daredevilry.
