Speed demon Shan Seejatan is all fired up and ready to put pedal to the medal when Guyana hosts the finale of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) come November 13.
“We are racing against the super Hondas from Trinidad and Barbados but I am confident that we could match them and beat them” a beaming Seejatan told Stabroek Sport yesterday.
If his Special Auto sponsored 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.
