THE Surinamese competitors are here and have sent an ominous message ahead of this weekend’s Reaction drag race meet, organised by the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC).
Chronicle Sport caught up with Raul Van Zichem, one of the members who promised dominance from the team, which includes eight cars and three motorcycles.
“We are very excited for the race on Sunday. To the Guyanese fans, I’m saying, check us out on the 19th for the reaction drag. We are going to give a great show and we are fully prepared.”
He continued, “We have brought eight cars and three bikes and they are going to be fast. There is our surprise Honda that’s always improving; it does 10 seconds in the quarter-mile but what’s under there (the hood) is a big secret and it gets faster and faster.”
Meanwhile, preparation work at the track has been ongoing all day yesterday with reports indicating that all is set for free practice and test and tune tomorrow.
According to a source, the lights and sensors were tested earlier today and are ready for action this weekend.
Official free runs for the event start at 09:00hrs with Qualifying set for an hour after and Knockout set for 11:00hrs. Admission is $1 000 for adults and kids under 12 years of age will pay $500.
