The List of competitors for October 29th 2006.

 

Rookies Group1

Total group 1 Drivers confirmed so far: 13

The Rookie division is often referred to as the nursery of South Dakota motor racing. This exciting class, the brainchild of Cyril Angoy, started some three years ago. The drag boys with their Toyota Starlets had started showing keen interest in maneuvering the bends of South Dakota, so Cyril as the then vice president of GMR&SC became the coach and licensing officer as such and the rest is now history.

The Rookies stole the show at South Dakota for the last 3 meeting held there. On April 2nd 2006, they had 13 starters heading into the first corner and amazingly they all crossed the finish line. To point out one or two of these drivers for special mention would be doing great injustice to the rest since these drivers are co closely matched. At the April 2nd meet, Marcel Proffit, Rameez Mohomed and Hemwant Ramdehol each chalked up a victory much to the delight of race fans. This division is ruled by no particular driver, anyone can win at anytime. Hemwant "Rose" Ramdehol is the defending champion, he will be hard pressed to hold onto his crown come October 29th.

Word is that there will be way more than the 13 drivers that we have listed below competing in the Rookie races, some say that there just might be close to 25 drivers putting their names on the dotted lines to be part of this exciting new division, this could only auger well for the future of motor racing in Guyana.

Group 2A (2 Slow)

Total group 2A Drivers confirmed so far: 16

Group 2A has always been a hotly contested division and come October 29th, it will simply explode as the Guyana flag drops to give these drivers the signal to stomp on their accelerators. Peter Morgan in his #31 Ford Escort has always been the man to beat in this group and he will be returning once more to prove that he owns GP2A. Jad Rahaman, former GP#3 speed ace with more than 30 years of racing under his belt, now calls group 2A home. Jad sent a strong message two meets ago that he means business after winning all three of the 2A events, Jad is presently fine tuning the JR Burger's Ford Escort to lay yet another assault on his fellow GP2A competitors, many of whom are half his age.

Shyraz Roshandin, former Rookie Champ will be driving the FullWorks sponsored Toyota Corolla and will be hoping to take home the checkered flag in this division as well as in the faster GP2B events that he is listed to compete in. Audie Singh, Vishaul Sawh, Fazal Habibhola, Richard Singh, Eric Tucker, Chet Singh and Raj Boodhoo will be the other Guyanese warriors defending the Golden Arrowhead against the foreign invasion led by the ever quick Joe Mohan in his 4AGE powered Toyota Levin. Joe's USA teammates will include Jag Singh, Damian  Singh & Copper Rahaman. A Team from Barbados is expected to be named shortly and at least 2 cars are due to leave Barbados on Thursday October 19th to compete in this blistering hot division.

Group 2B (2 Fast)

Total Group 2B Drivers confirmed so far: 25

What happens when you add gasoline to a burning house? What happens when you put 22 determined drivers together in one division?? What happens when you put the Guyana group 2B champion Rupie Shewjattan against the South Dakota International defending Champion Tanko Babolall?

What happens when you add in Ryan Rahaman in to this war? What happens when you throw in Shyraz Roshandin, Kamal Seebaran, Peter Morgan and Errol Tenpow? We are not done as yet, bring in Shazim Khan, Kamal Rahaman, Keith Evelyn and add them to this war zone, what do you have then???? And again we are not done, add in Vishok Persaud whose Honda has a turbo charger big enough to make most mechanics do a double take in disbelief.

And even with all that I mentioned, we still have more, add in Kawall Deosarran with his brand spanking new Lotus Excige and then add in former grasstrack champ Steven DeNobrega with his 3SGE powered Toyotas Corolla, then add in the Canadian female driving sensation Deborah Mendonca, what, what do you have?????

Just incase you think you have the answer, let me add in Team USA's bad boy John Joseph with his turbo charged Honda Civic, what do you have now???? And we are still not done as yet, Christian Bourne just emailed me to say that he is bringing over his orange bad ass Turbo Charged Honda to add even more fuel to this highly explosive situation.

Well just incase you cant figure what we have here, let me just say that on October 29th, when the Guyana flag drops to let these speedsters off, it will make the war in Baghdad look like a church picnic.

Ravi Singh and Gerald Carrinton will be doubling up the attack from the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago. Ravi will be driving his turbo charged 3rd generation Mazda RX7 while his teammate will be driving an all wheel drive turbo charged Mitsubishi Mivec.

From the United States, Kem Lall and Sanjay Sewsankar will launch yet another attack of their own in a bid to demolish the Guyanese defenders.
