The newly formed Trinidad & Tobago Drag Racers Association held its first event for 2005 at the straight-away of the circuit track (south track) on Easter Sunday. So far, there is no timing equipment as yet but this did not deter hundreds of racers who turned up ready to race!
The first drag racing event for 2005 also christened the new Wallerfield south track facility where ASPL and the drivers have worked tirelessly to bring up to racing and safety standards, since the Wallerfield north track also known as the Autodrome has been closed.
Sheldon Bissessar aka The Trinidad Rocket not only took home the win, but set the new World Record during round two of eliminations, laying down an incredible 5.77 pass at 241 mph at the Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida.
Better weather resulted in a better spectator and competitor turn-out. The street cars are the center of attention here but the bikes laid down the law for two wheel action!
