GMR&SC’s office executive Desiree Lee collecting the sponsorship from Choke Gas Station’s representative
The second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC’s) drag championships gets underway this Sunday at South Dakota’s Drag Strip at Timehri, EBD.
And with just three days remaining before the highly anticipated event is staged, the club has secured backing from three companies: Choke Gas Station, B.M. Soat Auto Sales, and Motor Trend Service Center.
In a release to the media, GM&SC expressed gratitude to all sponsors for the support given, and explained that staging a motor racing event is very costly, so every dollar earned is appreciated.
“These companies have been long supporters of motor sport in Guyana, with Choke Gas Station well known for the Choke Starlet Cup, the only Starlet championship in the entire region”.
Meanwhile, the correspondence further said, “B.M. Soat Auto Sales is known as one of the leading auto suppliers in Guyana, and Motor Trend Service Center, located in Area L, Foulis, East Coast Demerara, are no strangers to the sport.”
Additional documentation explained that, “The GMR&SC are constantly looking to upgrade the South Dakota Circuit. This year, the club made a target of completing the Launch Pad and extending the strip to a full quarter mile; both of those objectives were reached, due to the generous contributions of sponsors, support by the fans and, very importantly, the competitors.”
President of the GMR&SC, Rameez Mohamed, confirmed via correspondence to the media earlier in the month that Team Mohamed’s newly acquired white Nissan GT-R is set to finally make its competitive debut at the event, after missing out in March due to transmission issues.
Over 100 competitors are expected to register for the event, which will see the driver with the fastest reaction winning $20,000.
DEL Ice Co have sponsored cash prizes for the fastest 10-second ($200,000), 11-second ($150,000) and 12-second ($100,000) cars.
Admission stands at $500 for children and $1000 for adults, and action beginning at 10:00hrs.

Kissoon Contracting Services; Deryck Jaisingh Trucking Service and Machinery Rentals; Del Ice Co.; Mohamed’s Enterprise; B.M.
