Surinamese driver Prakash Lachman, whose fleet of cars includes a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, is confident that his machine can hold-off the anticipated assault of Mohamed’s Enterprise GTR Nismo. “Of course we can take down the GTR; we now have two very fast drag cars; chances are they could run even”, Lachman contended. Though, the Skyline GTR R34 is an old model which was made famous by the late Paul Walker of the ‘Fast and Furious’ movie series the adjustments made certainly will boost its speed. The Nismo, which was undefeated at the last drag meet, is tuned by Switzer Performance, which is known for producing some of the fastest GTRs in the world.
Lachman meanwhile, is looking to better his performance from the last time when he was easily outrun by the Mohamed’s GTR Nismo.
Meanwhile, the international drag strip and launch pad will be completed in time for the event, which will encourage even more faster times on race day, the organisers have said.

With regards to comfort and safety of spectators, it was explained that the club is in the process of erecting stands in the in-field to allow a more relaxed view of the racing.
