Speed demon Chet Singh is all fired up and ready to put pedal to the medal when Guyana hosts the third leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) come November 16.
“We are racing against the superior Hondas from Barbados but I am confident that we could match them and beat them”, a beaming Singh told Stabroek Sport yesterday.
If his Honda Civic matches the speedster who is oozing with confidence, come race day, Team Guyana should surely leave the competition in the rear view mirror.
Armed with a new engine, the Group 2 ace driver is all geared up for the foreign invasion and promises to defend his backyard, the South Dakota Circuit.
“We built a new 1800cc engine and I’m excited about that”, the daredevil exclaimed.
“I ran the first two legs with a 1600 and was very competitive so with the new engine I’m sure we will bring home the bacon, we will be ready for the Honda challenge.”
What makes Singh so positive about waving the coveted checkered flag?
“Because of the new engine and of course we are on home turf, this is our backyard. Team Guyana without a doubt will be bringing home the title but personally, I expect to do very good” he assured.
Singh’s brothers Raj (same group) and Richard (Group 3) will also be aiming to grab the checkered flag but their paddock is united in their belief of the Golden Arrowhead flying high.
“We all are pushing flat out to try and get where we want to be but once Guyana wins we all win.”
Barbados staged the first leg in July while the second was hosted by Trinidad in August. Singh will be looking to leave his mark in the final stage “in his backyard” later this month.
