2nd Annual Dirt Bike and Quad Racing set for 18th August

All roads would be leading to the Mainstay Motorcross Park on the Essequibo Coast on Sunday August 18, as the second Annual Dirt Bike and Quad Racing Event is held.
This event is expected to be filled with excoriating bike action, and 20 riders with Motor sharks experience from Georgetown, Mahdia, Red dirt from Bartica and Essequibo, and top riders like Steven DeNobrega, Andrew Wong and The Ten Pow brothers are expected to participate.
Speaking with this publication, Managing Director of Mainstay Motor Sharks, Joel Fredricks, touched on the importance of this event and commended sponsors for their participation when he said,
“It’s an important event here in Essequibo, because when you look back at the history of Essequibo, people were always involved in grass track and then it went down for a while. So, I am bringing it back now, and a lot of support we are getting from other regions. So, the sport is growing, and I want to say thanks to all the sponsors who came on board. And the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and a lot of business people are coming on board to support this event.”
Speaking about his expectations with the level and quality of riders participating, he said, “You can come and expect exciting racing for this event. It’s a time out to come and see the best riders in Guyana, because all of (them) are gathering here on the 18th. So, you come and see Steve Nobrega, Andrew Wong, and the Ten-Pow brothers. It’s a big competition because these are all the top riders, and for the quad, we have Dave Young, we have Sean Jacobs, Oliver Young, and all the quad riders from Bartica. So, it’s sheer top riders coming here on that day to entertain the people of Essequibo and all of Guyana who will be coming.”
Importantly, he divulged that the tournament would not have been possible without corporate sponsorship from the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, the Ministry of Natural Resources and many other entities.
