Lamborghini versus 2020 Supra a mouth watering possibility
SI&C Inc has acquired the late ‘Mad dog’ Jaisingh’s Supra
Kaieteur News – Long serving patron of local motor racing and platinum sponsor of the National Drag Championship round one, Secure Innovations & Concepts Inc; a local aviation security company has announced that they have acquired Deryck ‘Mad Dog’ Jaisingh’s Supra which won the last Drag Championship in 2019.
‘Mad Dog’, who shocked the motor racing fraternity last year when he passed away, had emerged as the unlimited class champion when the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club had held their 1320 Heat Rematch meet on October 20th, 2019, the last drag race meet due the covid-19 pandemic.
In a release from the GMR&SC, principal of SI&C Inc. Harold ‘Topgun’ Hopkinson who is racing veteran and smallbore shooting champion, explained that he decided to purchase the vehicle so that the memory of Jaisingh can live on in the sport, and the fact that he saw immense potential in the car.
At the 1320 Heat Rematch, the S&D Performance (Shawn Persaud) tuned car had clocked 8.7s to take the championship and Hopkinson noted that with the new modification and works with the retained S&D Performance mechanics, he is excited to see the machine operate at its full potential.
Hopkinson also confirmed that the vehicle will be piloted by his son Denzel who has had successes in the GMR&SC Group Two and the GT Motorsports Karting events.
Team SI&C Inc. has revealed that in the coming days Denzel will be at the track getting more acquainted with the car as less than two weeks remain for the title defence on February 28th at the South Dakota Drag Strip, Timehri.
Equally exciting some may say, Hopkinson revealed that he may take to the track in the BM Soat Auto Sales 2020 Toyota Supra in a challenge against power houses Team Mohamed’s Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
The GMR&SC announced recently that the amount of fans that will be present to witness the action at the venue will be significantly lower than what is expected with ticketed entry only due to covid-19 regulations. However, the event will be live streamed on the GMR&SC facebook page.
