For
those who feel they know their cars, well the challenge they really
faced was to leave the light on their green, go as fast as hell,
and not break out. In the great majority of instances drivers lost because
they broke out of their dial-up time. Consistency was the name of the
game.
By
the fourth round, competitors 101, 403 ,402, 206, 41, 23, were still
battling each other. Then it came down to Dave Mangroo vs Dave Deen
and Yazeed Ali vs Ramkaran Beharry.
Well
would you believe Dave Deen in his very standard B14 and Ramkaran Beharry
in his RX7 were the lucky ones moving on to the final. Deen showed his
competitive ability, and knowledge of his car and went on to record
two consecutive wins over Beharry. These two drivers immediately collected
their cash prizes.
As
an added incentive, from this Event, Sheldon "Shelshok" Benjamin
is sponsoring trophies for this street Class Competition. These drivers
will collect their trophies at AutoSport's end-of-year Prize function
and dinner at a time and place to be advised.
AutoSport
wishes to remind all that, as has been their tradition, they will be
having their annual Santa Claus dropping in by parachute! They will
also be hosting kids from two institutions and will be providing gifts
for these special guests. They are making every effort to possibly provide
gifts for the other kids who attend this final Event with their families.
