Defending champ Kristian Jeffrey chases individual glory

—as curtain comes down on Caribbean Motor Racing C/ships

Daredevils from Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and the Cayman Islands will push their start buttons today as their high velocity machines line up for the final leg of the 2015 Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) at the South Dakota Circuit.

Motor racing fans will see some of the fastest machines in the Caribbean, but the drivers and riders are not about fun and games. Reality forces perspective and despite their innocuous exterior, the built for speed machines and the racers will invade the circuit with one game plan; to win as fast as possible.

The circuit will be transformed into a flammable speedway by the ‘local Group Four Big 3’ Kevin Jeffrey, Andrew King and Kristian Jeffrey.

King and the Jeffreys will be vying for supremacy along Caribbean racing heavyweights Barbados ‘Mark Maloney, Trinidad’s Kristian Boodoosingh and Jamaica’s Peter Rae.

Kristian Jeffrey will be the man to beat while piloting a turbo charged Mitsubishi Evo 9.

The son of Kevin was crowned last year’s champion driver and leads the individual standings in the feature Group 4 Class. As he chases individual glory and the checkered flag, his efforts can propel Team Guyana to retain the coveted country trophy.

Trinidad leads the country championships with 658 points. The hosts are on 544 followed closely by Barbados on 511. Team Jamaica has tallied 369 points while the Cayman Islands is in the cellar on 138.

Racing fans will certainly have their money’s worth most of the competitors highlighted that their machines have been producing impressive lap timings.

The circuit is in perfect condition and fans should expect supersonic times.

Twenty-four races are carded for the day and the entrance fee to the circuit is $2,000 for adults and $1,000 for children.

Guyana are the defending champions and will look to overcome Jamaican’s lead and retain the title.

Super bikers, Stephen and Matthew Vieira will also have a say in that.

Action starts at 08:00hrs. On your mark, get ready, race.
