THE exhibition planned by the National Go-Kart Derby for today has been postponed according to organisers. According to organisers, the rainfall during the last 48 hours has left the National Park in a flooded state, thereby leaving them without a venue. 

However, after suitable discussions, the committee has decided to hold the event next Saturday (July 25) at the same venue. During the launch earlier this week head of National Go-Kart Derby, Attallah Wilson, said the initiative seeks to bring back an age-old tradition to Guyanese families and also to use simple materials.
The exhibition will feature various karts built by persons and Wilson urged the public to come out and view the work done. She indicated that potential participants should not limit themselves to what they see next Saturday but be innovative.
Admission for the actual derby is free for spectators but participants will be charged $2000 per entrant. There are four classes- the 6-10 years division, 11-13 years division, 14-16 years category and the dash-for-cash division which is open to all ages.
Among the sponsors are the PAC, Forbes Tyre Shop, GBR Wheel Alignment. It is being held under the theme: ‘Courage, Fun, Tradition’ and is in memory of contractor Aubrey Wilson Snr who was an avid go-kart fan and builder. The first annual Go-Kart Derby will be held on August 9 at the National Park.
