DRAG-racing, the fastest growing motor sport event in Guyana, received a timely shot in the arm from Mohamed’s Enterprise.
Yesterday, the company signed on to be one of the major sponsors of the GMR&SC’s ‘Reaction Dragz’ scheduled for March 19 at the South Dakota Circuit.
GMR&SC official, Desiree Lee, who was on hand to receive the undisclosed sponsorship pact, thanked the company for their kind gesture ahead of the highly anticipated event.
Recently, GMR&SC’s President, Rameez Mohamed stated:”We are expecting a big tournament. I met with the drivers and they are fascinated with the new systems that we have put in place and they are eager to race.”
There will also be $50,000 up for grabs for the fastest bus.
As of recent, Drag Racing has been the seasons’ curtain raiser and the eagerness the burn tyre and be the fastest on the “straight away” is brewing at an all-time high among the speed demons.
The racers are scheduled to start their engines from 10:00hrs.
Mohamed revealed that more than 100 competitors, including Surinamese, are set to battle for supremacy in the various categories. The event, on March 19, will be a precursor for an international drag race meet later this year.
He assured that an international drag strip and launch pad will be completed whenever that event is staged.
With regards the comfort and safety of spectators, Mohamed told Stabroek Sport that the club is in the process of erecting stands in the in-field to allow a more relaxed view of the racing.
The GMR&SC head concluded by encouraging persons to race in a secure and controlled environment.
