Kaieteur Sports – The second edition of the Essequibo Drag race event at the Mainstay/Wyaka airstrip is priming up to be bigger than the first installment when things get going on October 20.
Following the first installment last year, the club had decided earlier this year to add a second edition to their official calendar that due to overwhelming support from the communities and racing fans on the Essequibo Coast.
According to the club, drag racers from all across Guyana have already begun signing up electronically for the event which is expected to feature a number of cars from as far as Berbice.
The 2024 edition is also expected to feature even more competition from Georgetown and the East Bank of Demerara as several, ‘grudge matches’ have already been set.
Following a partially rained out day of racing at Augusts’ International Drag race meet, many competitors will be setting their sights on this event.
Many drivers failed to put their best ‘feet’ forward at that event and are now eager to show that they are more than the initial showcase.
And the onus now too, is on the GMR&SC to put on an even bigger show than the 2023 installment.
In that vein, the club has also announced a drift exhibition on the same day to introduce fans to the art of motorsport.
The club will announce in the coming days who the exhibiting cars and drivers will be but big names are expected to invade the Essequibo region.
