Matthew Vieira

Jeffrey registered a blistering 33.592 seconds to come home ahead of Barbados Mark Maloney and Trinidad’s Kristian Boodoosingh.
The defending CMRC champion’s time was just a shave off the 33.3 lap record at the South Dakota Circuit, while Maloney posted 34.296 and Boodoosingh 34.461.
Speaking after, he confirmed that he had made some changes on the car ahead of the meet and they worked out well.
He added, “We have one or two tweaks to do. This is the first time since we’ve got the car in Guyana that it’s done 33’s and I think we are a couple seconds off the lap record tomorrow, something I hope to achieve once the weather is the same tomorrow.”
Fourth on the grid is Kevin Jeffrey 34.763 and Andrew King 34.99 will start fifth.
In the Superbike category, Matthew Vieira is one hundredths of a second ahead of his cousin Elliott in what is shaping up to be a exhilarating stuff today.
Matthew posted a 34.101 time ahead of Elliot’s 34.279 and has indicated that today’s race will be exciting.
Elliot on the other hand concluded that he can make up that dropped time today adding that he can make that “with the right amount of pressure on me. I ride better under pressure.”
Joel Neblett’s 34.404 time places him third on the grid, while no time was recorded for Stephen Vieira.
In Group 3, Ravi Singh of Trinidad and Tobago sits first ahead of Paul Vieira, a Trinidadian as well, while Suriname’s Oliver Tjin Leip Shie occupies third.
Group two is led by Guyanese Shan Seejattan who posted a time of 38.148 is ahead of Barbadian Kenrick Husbands 38.499 and current CRMC group 2 point leader Marc Gill 38.537.
Today’s programme commences at 08:30 and will also feature the Formula 4 demonstration by Guyana’s Calvin Ming.
