With D-Day drawing closer to one of the most anticipated motor racing events this year, some 89 competitors have already entered their names for the spectacle with the Surinamese contingent already in the jurisdiction.
The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s Return to Quarter mile event is likely to exceeded the 100-participant barrier according to President Rameez Mohamed.
“Up to this evening when I checked, we had just over 80 competitors registered, that includes both cars and bikes and as we speak, others are coming to get registered,” Mohamed said while adding, “We expect that by race-day Sunday, that number will likely increase.”
Mohamed contended that as it stands, 11 short of the triple figure number was the last count inclusive of bikes but that number excludes the Suriname contingent which is likely to feature at least 10 cars.
Up to press time, some of the competitors had made it across to Moleson Creek with more expected today.
“Suriname is here and they will be ready to do battle come Sunday and the competition will be stiff. They have said to us that they brought their cars to dominate South Dakota,” Mohamed said.
He added, “We also still have tickets on sale at our locations so persons who haven’t had a chance to get them can still do so before Sunday.”
Tickets cost $2,000 for adults and $500 for kids and are on sale at the club’s Albert Street & Thomas Lands venue, Mohamed’s Enterprise, 29 Lombard Street Georgetown; Motor Trend Service Centre, Area L Foulis Public Road E.C.D; West Coast Customs Wash Bay, Vreed-en-Hoop, W.C.D; Massive Audio, Parika E.B.E; Homeline Furnishing, 592 New Amsterdam, Berbice; Sukhpaul’s Business Enterprise & Auto Sales, Lot 7-8 Strand New Amsterdam, Berbice and Sukhpaul’s Service Station, Corriverton, Berbice.
