THE Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) has secured sponsorship from Motor Trend Service Centre for the upcoming International Drag race event dubbed 1320 heat.

In a release to the media, GMR&SC acknowledged their gratitude for the support given and explained that running off a motor racing event is very costly, so every dollar earned is appreciated.

The correspondence further noted that “The Company has long been supporters of Motor Sport in Guyana.”

Additional documentation explained that “The GMR&SC is constantly looking to upgrade the South Dakota Circuit. This year, the club made a target of completing the Launch Pad and extending the strip to a full quarter-mile. Both objectives were reached due to the generous contributions of sponsors, support by the fans and, very importantly, the competitors.”

President of the GMR&SC, Rameez Mohamed, confirmed via correspondence to the media earlier in the month that Team Mohamed’s newly-acquired white Nissan GT-R is set to finally make its competitive debut at the event after missing out in March due to transmission issues.

Over 100 competitors are expected to register for the event which will see the driver with the fastest reaction win $200,000.
More importantly, DEL Ice Co has sponsored cash prizes for the fastest 11 and 12 seconds ($100,000) each.

Admission stands at $1000 for children and $2000 for adults. Action begins at 10:00hrs.
