WITH less than a week to go before the start of the 2020 circuit racing season, one rider has already outlined his plans for the year.

Kevin Persaud says that he has set his sights on the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) Super-Stock and Street-Bike championships this year.
Speaking to the media, he said, “I am fit and ready for Sunday action in both classes. I’ve been doing some personal work and I think that I can make a good start to my championship charge.”

According to Persaud, he will be riding a 2012 Honda 600RR in the Street Class and a 2012 Kawasaki ZX6 in the Super-Stock class.
“We haven’t had to do much preparations on the bikes as they are both running really well, we just have to change the tyres, oil and probably brake pads and we will be ready for Sunday,” he added.

While he did not single out any particular competitor, the seasoned local and Caribbean competitor believes that it’s a fresh slate come Sunday and a chance to go for glory.
“I think a lot of Guys are going to be gunning for the championship this year, but I need to keep my head down and do the best I can. I have confidence in myself.”

“Apart from circuit racing, I am also aiming for ATV drag and 600cc championship this year,” he added.

His sponsors are Miracle Optical, R Kissoon Contracting Services, Motor Trend, Palm Court, Sign Tech Towing Service, Buy Me Auto Sales, Chico Ramas, Prems Electrical and BM Soat Auto Sales.
