‘Golden Jubilee’ Int’l Drag Meet one day away
-Circuit closed to vehicular traffic today and tomorrow
One-day remain before local dragsters square off against their Surinamese counterparts in the ‘Golden Jubilee’ Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) International Drag Race Meet, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Two cars seen at the starting line in a previous Drag Meet.
Guyana’s ambition to defend home turf will rest directly on the performances of dragsters such as Anand Ramchand and the Daby brothers Rondell and Peter along with Chet Singh, Shairaz Roshandin, Syed Ali, Danny Persaud and Sanjay Persaud.
The Dutch have included the veteran Hans Ijzer whose GMC Typhoon is no stranger to Guyana and a machine that every local dragster respects and his support will come from Ashton Ceyaram, who pilots a Toyota Chaser, Ruifan Chen (Honda Integra), Prakash Lachman (Toyota Supra), Micheal Namchand (RX7), (Navin Lalbiharie (Nissan 350Z), Jean-Paul Jose (Ford Cobra Jet) Lester Choi (Nova) and Vidyakoemar Soekhoe (Mitsubishi Evo).
They will also be represented in the Superbike category by Tom Gomperts (Suzuki GSX R) and Giovanni Slagveer astride a similar machine.
The Porta Tree Timing System, which is equipped with specialized starting lights that allow quarter mile speeds to be recorded, will be used during the day’s races.
Races commence at 09:00 hrs and admission for adults is $1,000, $500 children, while children under-12 and vehicles are free.
Meanwhile, the Circuit will be closed to vehicular traffic from 06:00 hrs-18:00 hrs today and tomorrow to facilitate the Meet according to the GMR&SC.
