Even a horrific motor cycle accident could not derail the ambitions of a young and enthusiastic racing
Andrew King
lover by the name of Andrew King. King’s insatiable passion for fast driving developed him into one of the most formidable opponents to compete against on a racing circuit and this hunger still lingers. The local speedster, a successful businessman and someone who has contributed immensely to motor racing not only in this country, but within the Caribbean as well, is deserving of our ‘Special Person’ accolade. Born on February 28, 1959, to George and Jean King, Andrew was introduced to the business side of things through his father, who took him to the family’s chicken farm at Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, at an early age, and even in their absence he has managed to remain in the business unto this day, being among the biggest suppliers in the market. In addition to the chicken business, King also dabbled in the mining industry even though his direct input these days has scaled down, while he has also been a major importer of food products. Possessing a quiet and unassuming personality, the successful businessman and motor racer is a well liked individual who is always willing to share his expertise with anyone, and has been known to play an integral role in the careers of many young racers across the country.

Jamaica and Barbados, synonymous to history. Guyana was now in the spotlight for round 3 of the 2011 Caribbean Motor Racing Championship. With the smoothest track in the CMRC series and the fastest cars in the Caribbean, the stage was set for a mighty showdown.
The results of the previous CMRC race held in Barbados, had been quashed due to low light conditions. A decision was made to not re-run the race in Guyana as had been originally proposed.
The grid was set for race one with Roger Mayers in his Ford Focus on pole position, Mark Vieira second in his Mazda RX-8 and David Summerbell Jr. in third with his Mitsubishi Evolution. Mark Maloney of Barbados tried all weekend to get his Mazda RX-3's engine to sing the right tunes but unfortunately, he didn't make it into qualifying and thus started from the back of the grid. Mayers took the race into his hands from the first lap, setting out a daunting task for those behind to catch him. The battle then fell to Vieira and Summerbell for second place. This didn't last long however, as Summerbell spun a rod bearing in his Evolution, forcing him to retire. Mayers went on to comfortably win while Vieira and Doug Maloney finished second and third respectively.

It's 7:08 pm with 2 full days to go before the big finale is here. So what do you do?
Well of course you stay at home and stare at your computer while on the facebooks poking people who probably have restraining orders against you.
But, if you're a hardcore racer competing in the CMRC Championship, you get down and dirty preparing your beast for the big race.
And this is exactly the state of the motor racing community this thursday evening. At the South Dakota Track, Mohammed Bhana was completing his race livery, Mark Maloney was having his engine prepared for installation into his fire spitting Mazda RX-3 and even more cars arrived at the track in their shipping containers. Maloney's engine was flown in today from Barbados and he seemed to have made good progress in having the engine actually in the car and powering the wheels.
Meanwhile, downtown, David Summerbell chose a more urban approach to fine tuning his car. Summerbell and Rupie Shewjattan, were making final preparations to their respective Mitsubishi Evolution racers at the Auto Fashion garage.
