The Cinderella County will have its first taste of drag racing action this weekend when the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club takes an event there.
Set for the Mainstay/Wyaka airstrip in the region, Sunday’s event will make history as the first on record for the county.
GMR&SC has long touted decentralization of the sport, especially the shorter formats like drag racing and this event is expected to be subscribed to by several competitors from both the Georgetown and Essequibo area.

According to GMR&SC Vice President, Shairaz Roshandin, works have already begun on the venue ahead of Sunday’s event.
He added that on Saturday afternoon, there will be a meet and greet for the drivers from Georgetown in the central town with fans having a chance to meet the drivers.
Tickets for Drag Racing in Essequibo cost $2,000 for adults and $1,000 for children.
The event begins at 11:00hrs
