King of the Strip 3…

Also signing on to the premier drag race meet, which is organised by the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) are cellular phone retailer Electronics City and Trans Pacific Auto Sales and Spares.
GMR&SC President Rameez Mohamed iterated the companies’ usual willingness to support motor sports locally.
“Palm Court, Electronics City and Trans Pacific 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 big effort from both of them.”
“Their support will go directly into plans for the August 26th event, some of which will feature work on the launch pad which commenced last week and is expected to be completed before race day,” Mohamed further noted.
Meanwhile, the GMR&SC President contended that this was what the Club has been working on from the beginning of this year – getting international competition. He noted, “Earlier this year, I went to a drag meet in Trinidad to try and solicit competition for our local guys to foster a better drag meet and also put on a better show for Guyanese”, and that move has now resulted in several Trinidadian competitors, Barbadians, Surinamese and now even Grenadians showing keen interest in the much- buzzed-about KOTS drag series.
