Host Jamaica led the points standing at the end of the first leg of the Caribbean Motor
Racing Championship which was held over the weekend at Jamwest Speedway in Westmoreland. The Jamaicans amassed 323 points and they were followed by Guyana on 156, Trinidad and Tobago 126, Cayman Islands 62 and Barbados that did not send a competitor in the cellar on 0.
However, the day’s proceedings was dominated by the Guyanese who secured three firsts from reigning CMRC Group 4 champion Kristian Jeffrey, while Superbike king Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira, who added two firsts and a second place from three starts.
Also registering outstanding performances were Elliott Vieira, who copped a first place to go with two second place finishes, while Group 3 drivers Rameez Mohamed with two second place finishes and USA-based Afraz Allie with a second and a third place along with a third place from Danny Persaud in the final Groupo 4 race completed a successful day for the competitors from ‘the Land of Many Waters’.
