Surinamese contingent possible for weekend’s Drag race

With the days rapidly counting down to the much anticipated first Drag-racing event of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), international competitors are beginning to signal their interest in participating.
According to the GMR&SC, Suriname is interested in supporting the event with a contingent of cars. They want to come in on Friday morning. GMR&SC is in the process of getting the list of names from that body’s motorsport division, but has confirmed that at least five cars are expected.

The interest being shown by international competitors in participating in drag racing locally is now being renewed with the installation of the launch pad for drag racing. And since the strip is being extended from 1000ft to 1320ft or a quarter-mile, the Surinamese will be eager to finally unleash the full power of their machines before an expectedly overawed Guyanese audience.
What makes this drag meet a must-see is that, last week, one of the fastest Nissan GTRs in the world was cleared at a port in Georgetown. The EKanoo/Magnus GTR, which will compete on Sunday under the Team Mohamed’s Enterprise banner, is something that fans and other racers are most interested in seeing perform.
In addition to that, the 1000ft strip record holder, ‘Goliath’ – Team Mohamed’s other Nissan GTR — will also be in action.
The event is sponsored by Mohamed’s Enterprises, BM Soat Auto Sales, Motor Trend Service Centre, Delco Ice Factory, Trans-Pacific Motor Spares, Supreme Ventures, Air Services Limited, PowerLine Auto, Cyril’s Taxi, Omega Brokers, Enetworks, Prem’s Electrical, Miracle Optical, Choke Gas Station and Super Bet.
