Crown Prince rules Jamwest

— sweeps CMRC super-stock class

By Stephan Sookram in Jamaica

BRYCE Prince was royalty as he made a clean sweep of the super-stock competition of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) round one at the Jamwest Raceway in Jamaica.
Prince, riding for the Mohamed’s Enterprise team and starting the day on pole, was an absolute masterclass of a competitor as he romped home unbeaten at the Jamwest Raceway and in the process, setting a new superstock record of 1:15.5
In race-one, he dominated the competition from pole, leaving Jamaicans Robert Mc Donald and Kyle Reynolds,second and third respectively,with Trinidad’s Warren DeNobrega fourth, and the Guyanese duo of Heemand Boodram and Kevin Persaud in fifth and sixth respectively.
The fourth Guyanese rider,John Bennett did not enter due to mechanical troubles.
Race-two saw him falling behind from the launch but he managed to retake the lead and open the gap. Boodram managed to move up to second from his earlier fifth place finish while DeNobrega finished third, Reynolds fourth and Persaud fifth.
Race-three saw only Bryce completing the race, with Bennett crashing out while he was in sixth, Persaud falling on the last lap from second and Boodram not starting due to mechanical problems.
Prince wrapped up the weekend by telling Chronicle Sport “We learned the track pretty quickly yesterday. The track was pretty easy to learn. I think the trickiest part was trying to figure out where to ride to avoid some of the bumps and some of the lines were better than others,so you couldn’t take the ideal line.”

“`We were able to get good starts in both the first and third race and were able to break away from the field and its three wins and set a new track record,so it was really good for Team Mohamed’s Enterprise to get out there and get a good dominating performance here for the first weekend,” he concluded.
In the group two class, Rameez Mohammed and Nazrudeen Mohammed faced mechanical troubles, though both managed to complete a few races.
In race-one, Rameez fell out with Nazrudeen running fifth,while mechanical troubles ensured several DNFs.
At the group three end of things, It was all Paul Vieira of Trinidad who dominated on all three occasions ahead of countryman Ronald Worthman while Rameez Mohammed finished twice on the podium. The team returns home later this week.
Racing however ended prematurely after two marshals were injured during the final CMRC GP 4 four race.
Up to press time, the Guyana Chronicle was unable to confirm their exact injuries but a source close to the Jamaica Race Drivers Club (JRDC) confirmed that they were both in a stable condition.
Their names, which were given as Wendy and Tiffany,were behind the barrier for the start of the last Group Four race when the incident occurred,when contact between Doug Gore and David Summerbell Jnr. sent the former’s car into the wall and then sliding down the track.
The impact to the wall sent concrete flying which in turn hit and injured the two marshals who were there to register the order in which the cars crossed the start/finish line.
Meanwhile, of the two drivers involved, Doug ‘Hollywood’ Gore suffered a broken elbow and bruised ribs and ‘King’ David Summerbell jnr walked away with bumps and bruises
