DRAG racing action returns in exactly one week with the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) King-of-the-Strip meet and competitors are ready and raring to go.
This is the case of the former 13-second champion Imran Khan and his Toyota AT 150.
Khan, who spoke exclusively to Chronicle Sport, contended that his machine is race-ready and he has been out doing some testing ahead of next Sunday’s meet.
“The car is working fine. I feel ready for the meet and I know I am going to do well,” Khan told Chronicle Sport.
Khan continued, “Preparation-wise, we did some upgrades to the clutch system, just basically serviced her up and ensured that all the lines are good and all the brakes and the clutch, everything is read to just drive.”
He noted that while there are specific competitors he will be keeping his eyes on, he does not intend to take any battle lightly, adding that the competition in the class will be stiff this time around.
Khan was tight-lipped about specifics on how he plans to dominate the competition come next Sunday, but called on fans to come out and support his car number 20. He also heaped praise on his sponsors, A1 Auto Value, S/R Auto Spares, Shawn Auto Repairs and Summer Time Travel.
Approximately nine classes of racing are carded for the day, based on the time bracket system.
