On Tuesday, GMRSC representative Sherry Gonsalves was presented with ExxonMobil’s contribution by its rep, Nicholas Yearwood, at the company’s New Market Street office.
It is confirmed that the KOTS III expects more than 80 entries, and there since has been much buzz among the local racers along with the overseas contingent.
Team Mohamed’s Nissan GTR remains the undisputed ‘King of the Strip’, while in the other classes, Shawn Persaud’s Toyota Caldina reigns in the 8-second, Raj Panday in the 9-second; the 10-second class is currently held by Damian Persaud, son of Shawn Persaud, who also drives a Toyota.
Michael Namchand of Suriname, with his Toyota Mark II, took the 11-second class in KOTS 2 last April, with Raymond John joining his countryman on the podium for the 12-second class.
The 15-second class was won by Troy Kowlesar, with the Trinidadian bike duo of Shawn Brigs and Ian Atherly also picking up trophies.
The scorching action gets underway from 09:00hrs this Sunday, and admission to the venue will cost $1000 for adults and $500 for children.
The sponsors for KOTS 3 include Mohamed’s Enterprise, Ansa McAl, B.M. Soat, ExxonMobil, Tropical Shipping, Del Ice Company, Japarts, Palm Court and Trans Pacific Auto Sales and Spares.
