Paraug ensures safe, fair competition at Nitro Kart Klash

Experienced Race Director Phillip Paruag is assuring that the upcoming Nitro Kart Klash, being hosted by Jumbo Jet Events and AJM, in collaboration with the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMRSC), will be a safe and fairly conducted competition.

The inaugural event was unveiled by organisers at the 555 Speedway on Monday afternoon, where over $5M in cash and prizes was announced for the multi-class competition ranging from cadets to seniors.
Amidst the pomp and splendour, Paruag got down to the nitty-gritty, giving his assurance for safety as he tackles the chief steward position during race day on March 29.
“We make sure that the entire day is run fairly, in the ambience of safety and with the strict adherence to the rules that would’ve been laid out for each of the classes. We have a team that is working on that. We’ll have our flagmen; we’ll have the relevant people in the right place to make sure that while the event is being run off, persons act and conduct themselves well enough so that we can have fair competition throughout the day and our results that we’ll have will not be questioned,” Paruag told stakeholders gathered for the launch at the Albert Street and Thomas Lands venue.
The chief steward went on to add, “Also stewarding entails that if persons have an issue, they can come, and we’ll resolve it. So, being a part of this, the first at this magnitude, I am very honoured again.”
The racing classes on the day are the Briggs and Stratton (sealed engine) for both heavy and light (weight classes) for seniors as well as the juniors (13-15 years) and cadets (6-12), the 200cc Honda four-stroke promoters class as well as a light class, the 125cc IAME two-stroke heavy and light two-stroke, the U12 60cc IAME, the time attack open (five laps), and the 555 Speedway rental karts race as well as Supermoto 250cc bikes.
The two-day event kicks off with scrutineering and qualifying on March 28, 2026, from 10:00h and will be followed up racing from 10:00h the following day, with gates opening at 08:00h.
