Once again, Palm Court have thrown its support behind motor racing locally, this time being one of the major sponsors for the upcoming ‘King of the Strip’ (KOTS) 3 International Drags event which will speed off at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri on August 26.
Also signing on to the premier Drag Race Meet that is organised by the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMRSC) are cellular phone retailers, Electronics City and Trans Pacific Auto Sales and Spares.
GMRSC’s President Rameez Mohamed reminded of the companies’ usual willingness to support motor-sports locally. “Palm Court, Electronics City and Trans Pacific are two companies that are always ready to rally behind motor racing. They usually help in whatever way they can and this time around, it’s a big effort from both of them.”
Their support will go directly into plans for August 26th event, some of which will feature work on the launch pad which commenced last week and is expected to be completed before race day”, Mohamed further noted.
Mohamed, contended that this is what the club has been working on from the beginning of this year, getting international competition. He noted that, “Earlier this year, I went to a drag meet in Trinidad to try and solicit competition for our local guys to foster a better drag meet and also put on a better show for Guyanese,” and that move has now resulted in several Trinidadian competitors, Barbadian, Surinamese and now even Grenadians showing keen interest in the much buzzed about KOTS drag series.
