Our own Luke Bhola will be competing in a field of over 25 cars , he is going into this event as the points leader but must have a clear win in order to win overall. Its going to be close racing , i was a bit buisy this wk as he left at 3 am on Thursday morning. Please keep our team in your prayers for safety and victory. Thanks.

I think they did very well, Luke qualified 2nd with time 38.37 and pole sitter got a 38.27 so out of 14 cars it was not bad as it was his first time on that track. I will share more on thur over a lite beverage see you all then.

Hello Ramesh and others,

I think they did very well ...

Yes indeed and Congratulations to them all because I happened to read (pic included) big headlines "TT drivers win Caribbean circuit title" in the NEWSDAY Newspapers (Saturday Nov. 19th.) about Luke B. and other T&T drivers ending a drought of over 20 years with a stunning CMRC victory in 2016 ... Plus how the country's victory was made extra special as it was the 50th. anniversary since the first TT driver competed in Guyana last weekend.

For those of you who want to have a read of this newspaper - I kept it for the next slotcar race meeting
