ALL is not well with motor racing in Guyana! The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) is in a mess of unprecedented proportions, and some urgent action must be taken immediately to rescue it in order to save our beloved sport from further decay. There are members of this organisation as well as outside forces, that are seeking to mislead the public and convey the impression that all is well under their stewardship.
It is for this reason that Harold Hopkinson and a carefully selected team of concerned members, called, “Team Alpha” have banded together with a rescue plan that will chart a new path for the GMR&SC, and by extension racing in the Region. HOPPY or TOPGUN as he is popularly known, is a no-nonsense individual. He is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the 14-year-old, premier Aviation Security Company, in Guyana which he owns and operates.
Hopkinson earned the nick name Topgun back in the late 80s from his prowess with a gun. He is still representing Guyana in the sport of handgun shooting,and is well respected in security, sport shooting and racing for his uprightness throughout the Region. After sitting and observing the gross mismanagement of the club’s affairs by both the past and present leaders, Mr Hopkinson has now decided he has seen enough and has offered himself as a candidate for the presidency of the GMR&SC at the up-coming Annual General Meeting on January 6, 2014. He is therefore seeking your support by way of your votes on election night.
A vote for “Hoppy” is a vote to bring back motor racing as a household word in Guyana. It will be a vote to:
* Restore the faith of the sponsors
* accountability and transparency,
* proper access to the South Dakota Circuit
* members area at the Cosmos Sports Club
* lower fees for joining the club
* More benefits such as
– the Gym and their Badminton court
– better parking facilities for members
– larger pit area to accommodate more competitors and their service vehicles
– better surfaces for the pits
– payment for the competitors
– accommodation for members and their children
– Joining the FIM (Federation of International Motor Cycling ) so motor cycle racing can be sanctioned along with the FIA-run events
– building of an overpass so that spectators and competitors can access the pits and inner circuit, where an ATV and a 125 track will be constructed
– Restore the GMR&SC to the company’s register where it was removed due to the inept management of the club’s affairs.
These are but a few of the many plans and long-term goals of Alpha, led by Mr. Hopkinson.
