Just under a week remains as the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMRSC) prepares to stage its Ignite race meet which has Group Three title wide open for the taking.
Danny Persaud
Defending champion Vishok Persaud scored no points during the local first round of action at the South Dakota circuit last March, and this will make it difficult for him to retain this title.
At the moment the leader is Danny Persaud, who has amassed 50 points after the first round, and looks set to cop that championship. His nearest competitor is Syed Hassan, who has 30 points and is being chased by Rameez Mohamed and Motilall Deodass, who are tied for third with 18 points each.
This battle is not an easy one, taking into consideration the large field that is expected to feature in this class. Besides Vishok Persaud, there is the unruly Stefan Jeffrey, whose Civic car has undergone considerable work in order to be ready for the meet. Testing done during last month’s “test and tune” event has shown that he would be a more-than-capable competitor when the action gets underway.
GMR&SC’s Ignite, which forms the basis for the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championships, is billed for November 10 and 11.
Overseas competition in this meet will come from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), Jamaica and Canada, as well as from out of Europe.
Tickets for the packed 27-race programme are on sale, costing $2500 for adults and $1000 for children. They are obtainable at B.M. Soat Auto Sales on Croal Street in Georgetown.
Time trials in all the classes will begin at 10:00hrs on Saturday, November 10th, followed by official races from 13:20hrs in the Street Cross 125cc Motorcycle; Street Tuner; Choke Starlet Cup, and Sports Tuner, which would each be 10 laps. The feature race on Saturday will see 20 gruelling laps in the first anticipated clash in the SR3 Radicals Cup.
On Sunday, racing fans’ thirst for scorching action will be satiated with a packed 19-race programme set for the November 11th.
