This report of the Williams Industries International Race Meeting held at the Bushy Park Raceway, Barbados was made possible through sponsorship and assistance from Mr. Kamal Seebarran of Ray's Motor Spares & Auto Sales, Mr. Hemwant Ramdehol of Rose Ramdehol Auto Sales, Mr. David Panchu Singh & Bunny Persaud of Trinidad & Tobago and the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club.

The Golden Arrowhead waved proudly in the brisk Bushy Park Breeze. Below her, members of Team Guyana were busy putting in last minute touches to their machines. Team Guyana boasted of a full contingent of warriors, heading the team was Mark Vieira in his VPower Mazda RX7. Jad Rahaman and Ryan Rahaman provided amour plated reinforcement having enjoyed an extensive tour of Barbados in 2006 with Jad picking up the 2006 Group 2B Championship of Barbados . Kamal Seebarran, Kemal Rahaman, Shawn King, Copper Rahaman, Kem Lall. Compton London completed the nine member lineup of cars from Guyana and Team CAMS. By the time the dust had settled Team Guyana has picked up five convincing victories, three second places and one third place.

Mark Vieira flew out of Barbados as the group three champion driver with three solid victories under his belt. Not only did he beat up on the group three competition but he also crushed the much talked about group four super cars whose races were run with the group three cars. This was Mark Vieira finest tour of Barbados and he proved that he is indeed one of the all time greatest drivers of the Caribbean. This impressive achievement of Mark Vieira will be remembered for a long time to come. Congratulations Mark Vieira.

Veteran Guyanese driving ace Jad Rahaman qualified second fastest on Saturday but because he broke the time bracket range for his group, he was sent to the thirteenth position on the grid to start his first race. Jad took this in stride and worked his way through the tight corners and competition of Bushy park and finished in fifth place. Jad started race number two with a much better grid position and finished that race in second place. He completely stamped his authority in the last event and picked up the checkered flag much to the delight of the thousands of Guyanese motor racing fans who were on hand at the Bushy Park raceway to cheer their countrymen on.

Ryan Rahaman led most of his first event but was narrowly edged at the finish line by Phillip Moe. Ryan went on to win his second race easily but was told that he had broken the time barrier for the group 3B class and as such he would have to compete in the group 3C division, as such Ryan made the tough decision to retire from further racing for the day since he felt that he did not have the necessary power to compete against the truly powerful cars of that division.

Kemal Rahaman, the one armed wonder boy received a standing ovation from race fans and officials when he went up to collect his third place trophy at the presentation ceremony that was held after the race meeting.

CAMS's Shawn King drove his heart out and picked up a second place finish for his effort. Shawn should have ended his Barbados tour with two second places but was taken out totally in an earlier race by a Bajan driver who showed little respect for common racing courtesy when he deliberately slammed into the rear of Shawn's tube frame Mazda RX7 as they came out of the hammer bend. Hey look out for Shawn King on South Dakota come November 4th, this kid is driving.
