TROPICAL Shipping continues to share an invaluable partnership with motorsport locally, with the shipping provider yesterday assisting with three 40ft containers for Guyanese cars heading to Barbados next month.

Rameez Momamed’s Group 2 and 3 Honda Civic, Danny Persaud’s (Group 3 and 4 Mazda Miata), Mohan Rangasammy’s  Group 4 Mazda Rx7, Andrew King’s Group 4 Mazda Rx7 and Kristian Jeffrey’s SR3 Radicals are the five cars that have been loaded.

The five fulfilled a request by the Bushy Park Motorsport Inc, (BPMSI) for their Williams Industries International Racemeet on September 1.

Mohamed, who is also the President of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club, commented on the support that tropical shipping has offered the sport.

“Tropical shipping has become a pillar for motorsport in this country. They take our cars and our bikes where we need to go and their support is obviously something that is invaluable to the sport.”

1320 Heat drag race meet

Apart from loading cars for Barbados, the company is also shipping four vehicles from Trinidad for the upcoming 1320 heat drag racing event next weekend.

A rail car belonging to Sheldon Bissessar, along with the Nissan Skyline of Jagdeo ‘Mad Cow’ Seecharran and two drag bikes, is expected here in the next few days.

The rail car, which was here a few years ago, has sent out a strong challenge to the Team Mohamed’s Enterprise GTR Godzilla.

The 1320 heat event is set for August 25 at the South Dakota Circuit.

Admission for the event is $2000 for adults and $1000 for children.
