Drag racing fans are being assured of a day of enthralling battles when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) stages its ‘Golden Jubliee’ International Meet today, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Speaking with President of the GMR&SC Raj Boodhoo via telephone yesterday, he disclosed that a large contingent of dragsters and supporters from neighbouring Suriname are already in the country to take on the Guyanese in what is being touted as a dogfight for individual and overall supremacy.
Boodhoo said that the Dutch has sent a strong team of dragsters and while he is predicting that the locals will successfully defend home turf, he expects the duel on the track to be intense and exciting and something that will provide a real treat for Guyanese racing fans.
Guyana will no doubt have as its spearhead Anand Ramchand and Peter and Rondell Daby, while Chet Singh, Sanjay Persaud, Sharima Khan, Shairaz Roshandin, Danny Persaud and others are anticipated to add critical support to the lead cast.
The Dutch attack will no doubt be led by the experience Hans Ijzer in his powerful GMC Typhoon along with backup from Ashton Ceyaram in his Toyota Chaser, Ruifan Chen in his Honda Integra, Prakash Lachman (Toyota Supra), Micheal Namchand (RX7) among others.
In the Superbike category, it is difficult to see anyone upstaging the 1000cc of Charlie Henry, but word is that Surinamese Tom Gumperts Suzuki GSX R, Anthony Sokromo and Giovanni Slagveer astride a similar machine could provide a formidable challenge for him.
There seems to be lots of excitement in store in every division so the best advice is to get to the Circuit and get a first hand glimpse of what the daredevils will do on the quarter mile dragstrip with their speed monsters.
The Porta Tree Timing device with specialized starting lights will be operational throughout the day.
Starting time is 09:00 hrs and admission is adults $1000, children $500, while those under the age of 12 years and vehicles are free.
