THE COUNTRY’S fastest and most furious cars will battle one another on Sunday, March 29 at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri, when the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) hosts its first drag race event. According to an official from the club, over 50 drivers and cars will take to the circuit to determine who is the fastest in each respective category.

When the GMR&SC held its final drag race meet for 2014, Rondell Daby’s Toyota Supra stole the spotlight with the driver wowing the scores of spectators at the South Dakota Circuit, displaying his car’s sublime speed which was unmatched.
His brother Peter behind the wheels of his power-packed Mazda RX7 tried but could not keep up with the car that went on to set a new track record of 8.5 seconds, while the Nazim Gafoor-driven Toyota Glanza was the D-Class top car of last year and it will be interesting to see how things will play out this time around.
Narindradutt Bangar’s Toyota Sprinter should feature in the C-Class while Chet Singh, who is known as one of the top drivers on the circuit, should turn out in the B-Class with his Mitsubishi Evo.
With the Porta Tree Timing System which is equipped with specialised starting lights and allows quarter-mile speeds to be recorded in use, fans especially those not able to actually see the finish line will be able to keep up to date with the winners and losers on the day.
