Limited tickets for Drag Racing go on sale Thursday morning

The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) will host the first round of the 2021 Drag Racing Championships on February 28; however, only a limited number of tickets will be sold for entry into South Dakota Circuit.

Tickets will be sold exclusively at the club’s office, located at Thomas and Albert Streets, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, and patrons can make their purchase from Thursday morning (February 25).

The club indicated tickets will not be sold at gate entrances on race day and persons without a ticket will not be allowed entry into the venue. All persons attending the event must wear a mask.

According to the GMR&SC, COVID-19 restrictions mean they can only sell 1,300 tickets. Tickets for adults cost $2,000 each, while children are $500 and VIP $8,000.

Only 70 VIP tickets would be up for sale.

The club explained: “VIP tickets will cover your entry into the venue and gives you VIP seating access only. Patrons are advised to take along their own food and drinks. The VIP will be located directly behind the launch area and is undoubtedly the best seat in the house.”

Those unable to secure tickets can follow E-Networks’ live stream.

Meanwhile, test runs will be facilitated from Friday afternoon, once there are no technical glitches, and it will continue throughout the weekend until race day on Sunday.
