Jamaican speed ace, Doug Gore, powers to pole in today’s CMRC feature
Jamaica’s Doug ‘Hollywood’ Gore threw down the gauntlet to his Guyanese and other challengers, capturing pole position in the Group 4 contest, setting the stage for an exciting battle in today’s final leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) at the South Dakota Circuit.
Jamaica’s Doug Gore will be a ‘marked man’ today after capturing Pole in the ‘Big Boys’ race (Group 4) during yesterday’s qualifying.
Gore, piloting one of the fastest cars in the region, an Audi TT, flew to the fastest lap time of 33.5 seconds. However, to win he will have to turn in the performance of his life as the Guyanese pair of Mark Vieira and Kevin Jeffrey were ‘breathing fire’ on his back, with 33.9 and 34.0 seconds respectively.
