THE Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) in a bid to decentralise the sport will take its drag racing action to the ancient county of Berbice.
Set for October 12 at the Rose Hall Canje Airstrip, the event, which begins at 10:00hrs will feature some of the top machines from across the country in the quarter mile shootout.
GMR&SC Vice-President Mohamed Shiraz Roshandin in an interview said, “For years, the ancient county of Berbice has been asking to be a part of our calendar of activities and this year we put in a bit more work to include them.”
“One of the hardest parts was finding a venue that we could safely host the event. A place where we would have a long enough distance to run the quarter mile and still be able to have spectators view it safely.”
“After some work, we managed to get the Rose Hall Canje Airstrip to use. Later in the week some of the senior racers and executives will go on the ground to see what needs to be done to make the event happen as safely as possible.”
The VP added that the turn-out from the upcoming event will determine if it will become a permanent fixture in Berbice.
Tickets for the event will be sold at the gate with adults paying $2000 and children paying $1000.
