GMR&SC Drag Championship Surinamese competitor confirms Tickets go on sale Thursday morning
Raymond John’s Toyota Chaser
Kaieteur News – The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) announced two sets of really good news for motor racing fans and competitors alike.
The first announcement is that arch-rivals Suriname will be represented in this Sunday’s first round of the National Drag Championship with former 13 second champion Raymond John and his Toyota Chaser expected to show up at the South Dakota Circuit Drag Strip to challenge the local speedsters in the thrilling 1320ft showdown.
This has become possible since the announcement of the resumption of the Guyana-Suriname Ferry Service on Sunday last.
The other good news is that the club has been granted approval to host a limited amount of spectators at the Timehri venue. Head of the GMR&SC, Rameez Mohamed, has shared with the media that since the amount of tickets are limited, the club will be dealing with a first come first served basis.
