The South Dakota Circuit will next Sunday be set alight as the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) makes its grand Drag Race return with the ‘Quarter Mile Return’ event.
South Dakota is ready for the best of Guyana and Suriname on Sunday, March 27
Based on recent confirmations for the event, it will be a fierce battle between Guyanese and Surinamese drivers, and an age-old rivalry would be reignited.
According to the organisers, several leading cars and drivers from Suriname have already confirmed their participation in the event.
President of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), Rameez Mohamed, shared with media operatives that a total of 16 competitors from Guyana’s Dutch-speaking neighbouring State Suriname are about to make the trek across the border to South Dakota for some 1320 action.
Meanwhile, support from corporate Guyana continues to pour in for the event in terms of signing on to the premier drag race meet, with Palm Court and Windjammer International Hotel and Restaurant joining the sponsorship list.
GMR&SC President Rameez Mohamed has iterated these companies’ usual willingness to support local motor sports.
“Palm Court and Windjammer are companies that are always ready to rally behind motor racing. They usually help in whatever way they can, and this time around it’s a great effort from both of them,” he said.
Tickets for this highly anticipated meet go on sale on Thursday, and $2000 is the cost for an adult ticket, while children’s tickets each cost $500. All tickets can be purchased at the following locations:
GMR&SC Office at Albert Street and Thomas Lands; Mohamed’s Enterprise at Lombard Street; Motor Trend Service Center at Area L Foulis Public Road, ECD; West Coast Customs Wash bay at Vreed-en-Hoop, WCD; Homeline Furnishing at Lot 10 Strand, New Amsterdam; Sukhpaul’s Business Enterprise & Auto Sales at Lot 7-8 Stand, New Amsterdam; and Sukhpaul’s Service Station at Corriverton, Berbice.
