THE best motorcycles in the business of Jamaican racing have been confirmed for participation in the Guyana Motor Racing’s Ignite race meet, set for November 10 and 11.
Six super-stock motorcycles have been confirmed from the Reggae Isle ahead of the mega race event, billed for the South Dakota Circuit.

The Jamaican charge will be led by Robert McDonald, and includes McShane Heslop, Kyle Reynolds, Mario Woon, Gregory Cross and Norman Chung.
After some shipping issues, the team finally loaded last week before shipping out to Guyana.

The cars will be represented by Group four competitor Peter Rae.
Rae, who celebrates 50 years of racing this year, told Chronicle Sport that he is ready and raring to put on a good show.

“It was not a good year here (Jamaica) and then Trinidad but I’m definitely coming to Guyana to get the Zoom Zoom back to flying ways.
“We did some tuning after our local event, the car is back in action and we are going to turn a lot of heads,” the Jamaican said.

The Ignite race meet of the GMR&SC will form the basis for the final leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championships 2018.
Competitors are expected from Trinidad, Barbados, USA, Canada and Europe to compete in Groups 1-4 as well as super-stock motorcycles.

Apart from those competitors, there are events for local cars like the Choke Starlet Cup, Miracle Optical Street Tuner class and the Sport Tuner event. There is also a scheduled race for 125cc lightweight motorbikes as well as a class for amateur riders called the Street Cross.

Tickets for the packed 27-race programme are on sale at the cost of $2 500; children $1 000, at B.M. Soat Auto Sales, Croal Street office.
Next Saturday (10th) there will be the time trials beginning at 10:00hrs in all the classes followed by official races from 13:20hrs in the Street Cross Motorcycle, 125cc Motorcycle, Street Tuner, Choke Starlet Cup and Sports Tuner which will be 10 laps each.
