..Randy Belle and Neil Gonsalves split honours in F1 category
By Joe Chapman

DAVE Scott was the most outstanding performer at this year’s Linden ‘Cricket Carnival’ Regatta which was organized by New Era Entertainment with title sponsors Sheriff Security Inc. and staged at the Kara Kara Blue Lake in Linden on Sunday last.

On a sun-drenched afternoon, Scott dominated the proceedings with six impressive wins, three each in the 90HP class and the 200HP category respectively, and even took a third position in the highly anticipated big FI race where Randy Belle and Neil Gonsalves split honours in the two hyped-up races.

Among those who mingled with the drivers and spectators during the exciting races were Government Ministers Anil Nandlall and Juan Edghill.
Scott took control from the first 90Hp race in which Wellington Gonsalves was second to him, and Wellington Gonsalves followed that with third place in two other races. Clint Gonsalves placed third, then second in two other 90HP events.

In the 200HP races where Scott grabbed all three pole positions also, Wellington Gonsalves came second in two other races with Clint Gonsalves holding down two third-place finishes and Antawn Gordon one third position.
Wellington Gonsalves however was the winner in two 15HP races, with Joel Gonsalves gaining second in all three, as Kelvin Mannie placed third in all three also; a third 15HP race was won by Adon DeSilva.

Clint Gonsalves took honours in the two 40HP races, beating Shane Gonsalves and Steve Ramcharra into second and third places respectively on both occasions.
However, there was not the deciding third F1 race which was a disappointment since both teams strongly felt their drivers Randy Belle and Neil Gonsalves would have come out on top among the ‘big boys’ throw down.
In the lone Jet-Ski race, Udah Kand emerged the winner from Don King and Maksim Dmitriven, respectively.
