My best run in Guyana yet, says Team Mohammed’s Cox

THERE have been lots of good days of drag racing in Guyana but Team Mohammed’s Terrance Cox believes that last Sunday will hold his fondest memory.
Speaking to the media after his record-breaking run in Team Mohammed’s Godzilla, Cox told media operatives, “I’ve done a lot of drag racing here in Guyana but this one will definitely be the most memorable. It may be my best run in Guyana yet.” “Today (Sunday) was just awesome. The track preparation was great. The conditions were really good too. Big shout out to the guys at Total Venue Concepts (TVC) that did the track preparation.” “The support I get from the Team Mohamed’s guys is amazing and it’s like a whole new world when I get to Guyana,” Cox said. Cox, piloting the Godzilla (White) GTR posted a new strip record (7.50 seconds), breaking the record he had set the day before (Saturday) with the team’s Goliath (Black) GTR (7.6 seconds). Meanwhile, ,as the sun set on the venue, the faster cars came out to run, with Ferroz Mohammed and the Hyper Malt Mistubishi Evolution Lancer showing why the manufacturer is so sought after.

And racing was not complete without the Surinamese making an entrance, that country’s Raymond John driving across to snag the 11-second class. Elsewhere Sahadeo Ramsaywack and his Toyota Verossa returned to winning ways, staving off stiff competition in the 12-second class. And it was also a long road to victory for the West Coast’s Imran Khan, taking back his 13-second title after many failed attempts. Mahendra Singh also made the best of his Mitsubishi Evoloution 10’s all-wheel-drive system to snag the 14-second class with Anil Persaud (Nala) driving the wheels off the former Endurance championship-winning Toyota Levin in the 15-second class. 16-second class winner Permeshwar Ramkisson spoke to the media after his win, contending that “It was my first time drag racing and I had a good time. I just did what I had to do and came out on top. I will definitely be back the next time. He and his Honda Prelude had no shortage of work to do in the highly competitive 16-second class.
