..Start time set, competitors briefed

THE countdown has begun to the second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) Circuit Racing Championship.
Dubbed the South Dakota Grand Prix, the circuit racing championship round two is set for July 9th.
During a competitors’ briefing on Friday evening at the Club’s Thomas Lands Office, participants were briefed on the procedure for race day.

Clerk of the Course and GMR&SC executive member, John Chin, said there are expected to be nine different classes on display come race day.
Those classes range from Rookies, Street Tuners, Sport Tuners, Starlet Cup, Group Two, Three, and Four as well as superbike A and B classes.

“Should subscription permit, we would like to run the 1500cc (Street Tuner) and the 1600cc (Sport) tuner as separate races instead of what we did in round one. That can allow for a little bit more racing action for the 1500 guys who normally go up in groups.”
“We will also make provisions for the 125CC motorcycles should they decide to form a grid, which will of course will be determined by how many competitors register prior to race day.”

Meanwhile, the club has taken the decision to move the first race time from 11:00 to 10:00 to allow for this change.
“Time trials [Qualifying] will be done on Saturday from 13:00 and we will release that schedule along with the race programme shortly,” Chin continued.
Competitors had a chance to voice their concerns ahead of the race meet.
Registration for the event has begun and closes on July 6.
Competitors can register in person or via the club’s website.
