• NACAM President visits T&T- 28th January 2005 (Shared)
Mr. Enzo Spano visited Triniadad to strenghten relationships with racing fraternities in the region. He also wanted to educate local clubs and organisations of the racing administration structure in the world and the region.
Dubbed "Death by Punga" by the CARS executive, this course was worthy of being the last. The fat lady even sang and made the rain come down as dexers made their way around the cones, chocking a few in the process. Red Bull was on hand to revitalise the drivers after a hard night before and their representative, Tricia got her fair share of attention. First timers included a silver 350Z which was a joy to behold as it snarled around "Death by Punga" while Tim's Lotus Caterham 7 and Kirk's Turbo CVT Exi? did not disappoint. Mark showed everyone how to drift an automatic March in the wet and Crix finally found the handbrake. The Ho's Kirk (Ho Hing) & Wesly (Honda Ho) really made their rounds this time around driving everyone else's car. Even the Buntah Wagon got a piece o' the Punga. Click for Pictures!
So it didn't exactly have timing lights and a few very minor things need to be ironed out. It was however, Trinidad & Tobago Drag Racing Association's first official event and it was alot of fun. Billed as the official replacement for the popular 'gangsta' drags, TTDRA was actually born from the same series of gatherings. Now that it has been organised, we can look forward to safe, more organised Sundays at the Wallerfield tracks, provided of course there's no other Motorsport event on in T&T. The event was held on the circuit track with permission from TTASA and eTECK (PIDCOTT). While some big guns declined to even attempt running on this rough southern track, the street cars had a welcome field day.
Sunday 12th August 2004. The event was held to provide relief for the people of Grenada with canned foods and bottled water being collected at the door in addition to the proceeds from the meet itself. Attendance was nothing short of stellar and an entire pickup tray was overflowing with contributed goods to be shipped to our brothers in need after hurricane Ivan devastated their homeland. Best runs of the day included an 11.3 record setting pass by Faisal's daily driven Evo7, 11.494 from Andre's muscular Dodge Charger and the RWD Street Champ, Yancee in his S14 Silvia doing 11.9. The show stealers however were the Daryan Warner's Porsche Gembella which bogged on the launch to run 12.8 while Shamu's 125cc shifter kart ran 15.0 @ 70.4mph.

The real thing. The longest running powerboat race in the world. 95 miles of pure exhileration that you can never truly experience unless you run it yourself. It's either that or get yourself on a helicopter and go see it up close. For many people Great Race is a 'big lime' as we say in Trinidad. The biggest of this kind for the year as far as anyone is concerned. Until you can see the highlights on television and the pictures you can only imagine. We teamed up with Extreme Motorsports to get you in on the action. So... what are you waiting for? GREAT RACE COVERAGE
