Seaboard Marine CMRC November 15 Meet
Onus on Guyana to continue trend of home turf dominance
The trend has shown that throughout all three legs of the Seaboard
Members of the victorious Guyana team pose with their hardware won at the season ending Seaboard Marine CMRC last November.
Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC), the host country has dominated so the onus will be on Guyana come November 15 to continue that tendancy when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) stages the final leg, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Guyana, who is positioned third in the points standing on 511 points, currently trails leaders Trinidad and Tobago (658) by 147 and Barbados (533) by a mere 21, while Jamaica on 369 and Cayman Islands 138 are stationed behind in that order respectively.
The Guyana leg of the championship has always provided much excitement and fascinating racing among the competitors and with the top three teams tightly bunched spectators could expect another thrilling Meet as the visiting countroes try to wrest the regional title from the Guyanese on home soil.
However, the early feedback is revealing that that the locals are vigorously preparing for the anticipated showdown against their regional counterparts with the goal being to successfully defend the title.
The GMR&SC will therefore have to select a strong contingent to represent Guyana, one that will provide the strongest challenge to the foreign invasion and come out victorious at the end of the day.
Without sparing a thought, it is obvious that reigning Caribbean champion Kristian Jeffrey will spearhead the quest for top honours for the ‘Golden Arrowhead’ and support should come from his father Kevin, the maestro Andrew King, Shairaz Roshandin, Chet Singh, Danny Persaud, Afraz Allie, Rameez Mohamed and Ryan Rahaman among others.
The young Jeffrey has shown no fear for the opposition despite only appearing in his second stint in the Caribbean Series, a testimony to his skill and fortitude, while the veteran King is always a fomidable foe on home tufr.
In the Suprebike category, Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira, who leads the standings with 133 points, is followed closely by his cousin Elliott Vieira on 119 and they along with the experienced Joel Neblette (36) and the talented Matthew Vieira (25) should be enough to thrill the fans with their anticipated rivalry.
Jamaica’s Robert McDonald lies third in the division on 45 points and his addition to the rivalry should make it even more interesting.
