Jumbo Jet’s Nitro Kart Klash shifted to larger venue

The highly-anticipated Nitro Kart Klash, which was initially slated to be hosted by Jumbo Jet Events at the 555 Speedway, Thomas Lands and Albert Street, Georgetown this weekend, and had been postponed owing to a shipping delay, will now see a move to a larger venue.
This is according to the organisers, who made the announcement via their social media page.
The Nitro Kart Klash, a competition which would signal the resurgence of kart racing in Guyana, was initially scheduled for this weekend with pre- checks on Saturday, March 28 and competition day on Sunday, March 29.
However, last week Jumbo Jet Events announced a postponement to April 19, to accommodate the late arrival of several new karts.

Now, it appears as though Jumbo Jet Events will seize the opportunity to maximise the competition at a larger venue – the Guyana National Stadium Tarmac at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Jumo Jet shared in a social media post, “The momentum behind Nitro Kart Klash has been nothing short of incredible.
“With the overwhelming interest from drivers and the growing excitement from racing fans across the country, it has become clear that the current venue is no longer sufficient to accommodate the scale of our event.
“In our commitment to delivering a safe, competitive, and world-class racing experience, we are now moving forward with plans to construct a new circuit layout and transition to a larger venue, all in preparation for April 19th, 2026.
“This decision ensures that both our racers and spectators can enjoy an exciting, well-organised, and safe day of racing at a level never seen before. We are building something special.”
On the heels of the advisory, the organisers went on to announce on Monday that the event is likely to be shifted to the National Stadium.
Jumbo Jet’s Nasrudeen Mohamed Jr, organiser Andre Rochford, racers Mark and Matthew Vieira and other stakeholders visited the venue as plans roll out for the shift in location.
Competitors will still battle across a diverse line-up of classes, including the Briggs & Stratton sealed-engine category for seniors, juniors (13-15 years), and cadets (6-12), along with the 200cc Honda 4-stroke Promoters Class and the Light Class. Additional events will feature 125cc IAME two-stroke (heavy and light), Under-12 60cc IAME, a five-lap time attack open category, 555 Speedway rental kart races, and supermoto 250cc bikes.
The competition is set to offer over $5 million in cash and prizes across the categories.
