Who will reign supreme at Sunday’s Drag Meet?
Female dragster Sharima Khan (inside) will be among those set to appear at Sunday’s Meet at the South Dakota Circuit.
Who will reign supreme is the big question being asked as the countdown for the final stanza of the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) Drag season nears.
This Sunday’s Meet which will be staged at the South Dakota Circuit will bring the curtains down on a year that saw drag racing maintain its high profile on the GMR&SC calendar of events and word is that motor racing fans are eagerly anticipating a rivetting climax.
President of the GMR&SC Raj Boodhoo speaking with Kaieteur Sport recently said that while it would have been ideal to have the usual rivalry between Guyana and Suriname continue, the absence of the Surinamese dragsters should not reduce the excitement that drag racing always offers and has issued an appeal to fans to get to the South Dakota Circuit to enjoy a fitting end to the year’s activities.
He said experienced dragsters such as Anand Ramchand, who normally drives a batch of cars, the Daby brothers Rondell and Peter, Chet Singh, Sanjay Persaud, female dragster Sharima Khan and Shawn Persaud, have all confirmed participation and their presence is sure guarantee that the showdown over the quarter-mile strip should be a must see.
The Toyota Supra of Rondel Daby is one of the machines that the fans love to flock and usually seem intrigued by its raw speed, but Singh, Ramchand and Peter Daby Mitsubishi Evolutions are also stacked with unbelievable horse power.
However, many are hoping that the Toyota Verossa of Ramchand do something special and pull off a huge upset in the category it normally campaigns in.
Among the categories to be contested are the F Class – 14 Seconds Bracket, E Class – 13 Seconds Bracket, D Class – 12 Seconds Bracket, C Class – 11 Seconds Bracket, B Class – 10 Seconds Bracket, A Class – 9 Seconds Bracket and the 8 Seconds Bracket.
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.
