The second edition of the Essequibo Drag Race Meet at the Mainstay/Wyaka airstrip will commence on October 20th, according to a press release from the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC).
The release stated the event has been added to the official calendar of activities owing to the overwhelming support of the inaugural edition, noting that competitors from Georgetown, East Bank Demerara, and Berbice have confirmed their participation.
The correspondence stated, “Following a partially rained-out day of racing at August’s International Drag Race meet, many competitors will be setting their sights on this event. Many drivers failed to put their best ‘feet’ forward at that event and are now eager to show that they are more than the initial showcase. And the onus now too is on the GMR&SC to put on an even bigger show than the 2023 installment. In that vein, the club has also announced a drift exhibition on the same day to introduce fans to the art of motorsport.”
