Plans ahead of schedule as championship draws closer

PLANS are well on stream for this weekend’s two-day drag race meet set for the South Dakota Circuit according to executive committee member Motilall Deodass.
Speaking on Tuesday, the committee member said that all the necessary arrangements that are needed to be put in place by the club have been dealt with.
“Things are actually ahead of what and where we want to be right now. We have secured permissions from the relevant persons; that is the COVID-19 Task Force, as well as the police for the venue. That was done a while ago.”

“We were also able to confirm marshals as well as the emergency medical teams long before our prescribed dates so I’d have to say that we are ahead of schedule when it comes to that.” As it relates to the live streaming that the club has promised, the guys from E-Networks were up here setting out spots for cameras and getting a layout of the land. So we can safely say that the Saturday/Sunday event is poised to be successful.” “Competitor-wise, we’ve been granted a limited number, so we are urging people to get registered early. It will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and when we get to our quota, that is it.”

The Executive member also confirmed that there will be mandatory wearing of masks for all competitors, mechanics and support staff as well as officials and the limited number of spectators. “There will be strict penalties for those persons found in the venue not wearing their masks or adhering to the COVID-19 Guidelines. Those could result in people being ejected from the venue and for future events. It’s not something we want to do but if you put us in the position, we will have no choice.” Meanwhile up to press time yesterday, 62 competitors were confirmed with five of those being bikers.
The club also managed to net a new sponsor in L. Mahabeer and Sons Cambio who came on board late yesterday afternoon.

The company joins the list of other sponsors in Cyril’s Transportation Services, E-Networks, First Class Auto Sales, GUYOIL (Castrol), Homeline Furnishing, Imran Auto Works. KFC, KGM Security, Land Star Drilling Company, MMD Hollow Blocks and Pavers, Mohamed’s Enterprise, Motor Trend Service Center, Modern Building Solutions, NALICO/NAFICO, Panko Steel Fabrication, Power Tech Sound Company, Prem’s Electrical, Ready Mix Concrete, Rush Energy Drink, Samaroo Investments Inc., Secure Innovations & Concepts Inc., STAG Beer, Trans Pacific Motor Spares & Auto Sales, Truck Master, UNICOM – United Commodities, West Coast Customs Washbay and Windjammer are the others. Tickets for the event go on sale from today at the Club’s Albertown office with no tickets being sold at the venue.
