Deodass, King and Team Mohamed’s score big at GMR&SC awards

Motilall ‘Kevin’ Deodass, Andrew King and Team Mohamed’s were among the multiple winners at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) annual awards ceremony held Monday evening at Parc Rayne.

Deodass regained his Starlet Cup title and also managed to win the Group Three title.

While the official points standings for the various categories were announced by chief timekeeper Azaad Hassan, it was expected that Deodass would cop the Starlet Cup title given his excellent run throughout the year. He also won $500,000, compliments of Choke Gas Station.

King, who swept the Group Four races on Sunday, retained his title as Group Four champion and his crew won the award for best team since he also toured Barbados earlier in the year and had success.

Raymond Seebarran won the $500,000, compliments of Miracle Optical for being the champion of Street Tuner (1500cc), while the Sport Tuner (1600cc) went to Mohamed F Ahamad. His $500,000 prize was sponsored by Prem’s Electrical.

The Special Auto-powered Shan Seejatan won the Group Two championship, despite not having the best of November race meets.

On the two-wheel end, Matthew Vieria still stands as the local Super Stock champion, despite getting just one third place finish on Sunday.

His championship comes as result of dominant performances in the other two rounds earlier in the year. He won US$250, compliments of Cyril’s Transportation Service.

The Street Class was won by Dwayne Caesar and he was awarded US$250, compliments of Cyril’s and Windjammer International Hotel and Restaurant.

Veteran Terence Clarke was the 125cc Champion, winning US$100.

On the Drag Racing end, Team Mohamed’s won both the 8-second and Unlimited title, while 9-second went to Rameez Mohamed and 10-second to Peter Daby.

Krishna Jettoo (11-second), Avi Samaroo (12-second), Pierre Singh (13-second), Romeo Singh (14-second), Ramesh Perdaud (15-second) and Marlon Wilson (16-second).

Anil ‘Nala’ Persaud was deemed best mechanic.

GMR&SC President Rameez Mohamed thanked all the competitors, both local and foreign, and stated fans can look forward to even better racing in 2020.

For the SR3 Radicals, Jamaican William Myers in his debut year won the title.

Kurt Seabra, an instrumental figure in the organisation of the Series, stated they are lots of talents in the Caribbean and they must find ways of attaching them to big sponsors, given the opportunities that exist.
