GUYANESE rider Kevin Persaud is eager to test his two-wheel skill on the Bushy Park race surface when that country plays host to the third leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) 2015 from September 11 to 13.
Persaud, an ‘A’ class rider, who had loads of practice at the recent Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s Race of Champions earlier this month, expressed an obvious drive to raise the level of his sport.
He added, “I’m very confident and excited to go to Barbados with my new bike I bought recently. I’m anxious and eager to represent my sponsors and mostly team Guyana.”
Persaud, one of the new generation riders will made his maiden Barbados trip this year and has already set himself some personal targets, some of which he noted, include scoring country points and finishing on the podium.
He added, “The bike is working excellent but still need some fine-tuning for the conditions of Bushy Park. I gained a lot of experience from Jamaica (the first leg of this year’s CMRC) and it helped me improve greatly.”
The young Persaud, who has been one of the young sparks in local racing, has indicated that he is ready and raring to take the battle to the Islanders adding, “That competition continues among the local riders that are taking the fight to Barbados.”
He joins the rest of the superbike crew of Elliot, Stephen and Matthew Vieira, Nikhil Seereeram and Joel Neblette.
His blue, yellow and white Kawasaki ZX6R, sponsored by Leon Dorado, RB Mining and Busby Autobody and Mechanic Shop is sure to excite the crowds come race weekend in Barbados.
Meanwhile, the four-wheel members of team Guyana include Mark Vieira, the father-and-son pair of Kristian and Kevin Jeffrey and Danny Persaud in Group 4. Nazim Gafoor has been entered at the Group 2 class. (Stephan Sookram)
