The cream of the region’s motor sport stars are preparing for Bushy Park Barbados next month, when the circuit hosts the Williams Industries Digicel International Race Meet (September 12/13). Round three of the 2015 Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) is the headline event of an action-packed schedule, with approaching 12 hours of track activity on Sunday alone.

The Barbados Association of Dragsters & Drifters (BADD) will return to the much-favoured day/night format at Bushy Park on Sunday (July 5), when it stages Summernight Warz, round two of the club’s 2015 Drag Warz series - slated to start at 3.30pm, it will run into the night to a finish time of around 8.00pm, with Practice in the afternoon, Qualifying just before sundown and the Eliminations under floodlights.

Navigational rally veterans Leslie Alleyne and Wayne Clarke will go head-to-head in next weekend’s Sol Go Further June Safari (June 27/28), each hoping to extend his record-breaking run of wins in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) longest-running event. With victory last year, Alleyne joined Clarke on six wins, two more than anyone else on the 69-strong list of previous winners.

Three new winners joined the Suzuki Challenge Series roll of honour, as the competition intensified in round three at Bushy Park Barbados yesterday (June 14). In the Swift Cup, Barry Gale and Jamaica’s David Summerbell Jnr brought the number of race-winners to five in the first nine races, while Guyana’s Mark Vieira finally broke the Maloney family’s stranglehold on the top step of the podium in the SR3 Cup.
