GMR&SC Drag Championship round 2…
Having dominated the superbike category in 2016 and 2017, Mark “Mad Max” Menezes had a one-year hiatus in 2018 before returning at the start of the 2019 Drag Championship season in March to assume his superiority in the class with wins in both the 600cc and 1000cc divisions.

Round two of the Championship had been pushed back to June 23, and the bikers including Menezes are revving to go. In an invited comment, Menezes confirmed that he would be looking to extend his points in the Championship in both categories. In addition, a fresh 2019 Yamaha R6 has just landed for him.
“My machines are working great, as you know, I am the mechanic and I have been putting in hard work day and night to ensure all systems are in place. Being at the top of your game isn’t easy, so you know you always have to be constantly working and tweaking everything,” Menezes shared.
He is just one of the many bikers who have confirmed their participation in round two of the Championship.
