The Railcar out of Trinidad and Tobago dominated the spotlight at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sport Club’s International Drag meet at the South Dakota Circuit on Sunday.
A unique invention, this vehicle, driven by Andy Bissessar, won the Unlimited category, but had a false start in another Unlimited race with Team Mohamed’s Nissan Godzilla-GTR. In that race, the Godzilla suffered a blowout and failed to finish the race.
Team Mohamed had unfortunately encountered mechanical issues over the weekend, and could not satisfy the expectations of its hundreds of fans who had turned up at the meet to witness “Goliath” and “Godzilla” demolish the opposition. “Goliath” did not even make an appearance on the starting line.
Nevertheless, the fans were entertained by the other drivers. In the 600CC Bike category, Andy Rajkarran emerged victorious, while Micheal Mathurine and Joel Bruce out of Trinidad copped the unlimited title for the bikes.
Biker Kevin Persaud won the ATV race, followed by Shivan Ragnauth in the 16 seconds’ category and Ramesh Persaud in the 15 seconds’ race.
Rafeeq Khan was victorious in the 14 seconds’ race, while Pierre Singh copped the winning spot in the 13 seconds’ race.
Damion Persaud kept his course to win the 12 seconds’ race, while the 11 seconds’ battle was won by Jagdeo Seecharran out of Trinidad and Tobago, and Oneal Higgins won the 10 seconds’ encounter.
GMR&SC President Rameez Mohamed, with his Toyota Altezza, took the top spot in the 9-seconds’ race.
