THE Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) has launched its international Drag Racing championship, billed for August 21 at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri.
The event, expected to be the marquee event for drag racing here, is expected to feature competitors from Trinidad & Tobago and Suriname.

According to GMR&SC president Mahendra Budhoo, the club has already confirmed two rail cars from along with a third competitor from Trinidad.
“We are still deciding whether it will be a two-day or one-day event and that is determinant on the amount of registrants we get. If we feel we cannot pull the event off in one day then we will have to do Saturday-Sunday.

However, all knockouts will be on Sunday,” GMR&SC president Budhoo said.
Meanwhile the club had also confirmed late last evening several competitors from Suriname and were up to press time today trying to organise those names.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS A MUST
Competitors have been warned against late registration, with the club’s vice-president, Mohamed S, Roshandin, saying ‘no late entries will be tolerated.”
As it stands, registration closes in seven days (August 17) with three cars up to press time registered.

Roshandin also made it clear that competitor registration forms will not be complete without a medical form; both of which can be found on the club’s website and social media page.
The event is billed for the South Dakota Drag Strip with admission being $2 000 for adults and $1 000 for children.
