Team Mohamed’s white Nissan GT-R is tuned and working perfectly fine ahead of today’s highly anticipated explosion of speed for the second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) Drag Championships at the South Dakota Circuit’s Drag Strip.The rain may have curtailed a full day of practice on Friday, but it gave the Team ample time to ensure their beast, dubbed one of the fastest in the world, is mechanically ready to thrill the numerous fans.
At the last meet in March, the car did not compete due to mechanical issues, but according to the driver Terence Cox, it’s a different ballgame this time around.
“We are ready to go. We did a burnout this morning (Friday) and everything worked well. Every issue we had last time we have already gone over and rechecked and we don’t have any issues now so we are ready to go out and make some passes in this car,” he explained.
“We worked all day, we worked from like from 10 in the morning to 3 at night and tuner Wayne Potts has been doing all the work. He replaced every single wire harness in the car, replaced all the ECU [Electronic Control Unit] in the car and put a
power distribution into the car. We placed a little bit bigger tyres on it, but that is all we did different for this trip,” he further noted.
With the black GT-R, Goliath, also in their arsenal, Team Mohamed’s holds the track record at the new quarter-mile strip, a blistering 8.584s. On the previous 1000ft strip, the car held the record with a time of 7.52s.
“We want to come out and prove we are the best and anytime anyone starts to come anywhere close to us we are immediately buying new parts to go faster, we are always trying to make these cars go quicker,” Cox explained.
The team is yet to taste defeat, and many have tried, with the rail-car from Trinidad and Tobago making a run and the constant efforts of Shawn Persaud and his Toyota Caldina and now Balram Mechanics and their Trans Pacific Altezza along with Peter Daby’s collection of RX-7s.
Admission to the South Dakota Circuit will cost $1000; kids $500.
