Long serving patron of local motor racing and platinum sponsor of the National Drag Championship round one, Secure Innovations & Concepts Inc has acquired Deryck ‘Mad Dog’ Jaisingh’s Supra.
The 2019 Drag Championship-winning car won the unlimited class when the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) held their 1320 heat rematch in October 2019, the last drag race before the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a release from the GMR&SC, principal of SI&C Inc, Harold ‘Topgun’ Hopkinson who is a veteran racer and sport shooting champion, explained that he decided to purchase the vehicle so that the memory of Jaisingh, who passed away last year can live on in the sport, and the fact that he saw immense potential in the car.
At the 1320 heat rematch, the S&D Performance (Shawn Persaud) tuned car clocked 8.7 seconds to take the championship.
Hopkinson highlighted that with the new modification and works from the retained S&D Performance mechanics, he is excited to see the machine operate at its full potential.
‘Topgun’ Hopkinson confirmed that the vehicle will be piloted by his son, Denzel who has had successes in the GMR&SC Group Two and the GT Motorsports Karting events.
Team SI&C Inc. has revealed that in the coming days, Denzel will be at the track getting more acquainted with the car as less than two weeks remain for the title defence on February 28th at the South Dakota Drag Strip, Timehri.
He also disclosed that he may take to the track in the BM Soat Auto Sales 2020 Toyota Supra in a challenge against power houses, Team Mohamed’s Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
The GMR&SC announced recently that the amount of fans who will be present to witness the action at the venue will be significantly lower that what is expected with ticketed entry only due to Covid-19 regulations. However, the event will be live streamed on the GMR&SC Facebook page.
