OVER 30 competitors have been registered so far for the 1320 Heat drag race meet set for Sunday, August 25 at the South Dakota Circuit.

Confirmation from the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) office yesterday confirmed that just over 30 persons had been registered.

According to the club, competitors are now coming in to register ahead of this weekend’s event.

Club vice-president Hansraj Singh contended that “we had a meeting on Monday night to make the guys aware of some of the stuff that we are doing for the race meet.

“After that, we were able to register some of the guys for the event and more keep coming in. We estimate over 50 cars on the day turning up to the event.”

In addition to the cars, we also have bikes that are being registered, those guys have already asked us to set aside time for them as their category might have around 20 bikes.

“So all in all, we expect a really packed day of racing. We just need competitors to turn up early so we can run on schedule and everything could be on-stream.”

Singh is urging the remaining competitors to get registered as quickly as possible, with the club looking to close registration by Saturday.
