THE upcoming Caribbean Invasion drag race meet, scheduled in just over two weeks’ time, is heating up with competitors confirming their participation daily.
One such competitor is Davin Panday, who is hoping to make a lasting impression on the 13-second class in his AE92 Toyota Corolla Hatch which was recently upgraded to a 4AGE 20 Valve Engine.
Speaking to Chronicle Sport, Panday said, “Preparations are on-going and I’m hoping to show the crowd what my car can do. Many people may look at it and think that it doesn’t pack a punch, but they’ll be in for a surprise.”
“I’m fairly new to the drag scene, and I don’t wanna make any threats to any competitors, as I respect all of the guys coming to line up, most of whom are friendsm but I’d also like to tell them to not underestimate the little white Toyota.”
Panday, who drives under Team ER Racing out of Eccles, feels that he has what it takes to lift that 13-second trophy.
Meanwhile dragsters desirous of signing up for the meet should begin doing so at the GMR&SC office in Thomas Lands.
Officials of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club have indicated that this is to facilitate the entry of competitors into the timing system.
Persons or teams can pick up their entry forms and other documents at the club’s Thomas Lands office between normal working hours.
