In regard to the plans of his team for the next year in office, Boodhoo had previously said, “We have a clear and achievable plan for the new drag strip, and the above visual is a representation of what we can accomplish. The design includes sloped areas at the end for spectator seating, ensuring a better fan experience.
“It’s important to note that this drag strip will not interfere with the circuit in any way, eliminating issues like drag strip rubber affecting the performance of circuit cars.
“We’ve been in consultation with a professional team from the USA to ensure the best possible construction for the drag strip. Our priority is to avoid the problems seen with the current strip, where the launch pad has been dropping over time.
“Just as we successfully delivered the circuit extension, we are confident this project will become a reality with the right planning and execution.”
