Landmark Events Limited has joined forces with Absolute Promotions and T&T’s AutoSport Promotions Limited, to stage what is turning out to be the biggest International Drag Racing Event in the English-speaking Caribbean. And with over 75 foreign competitors already signed up to do battle, only time will tell who are the best to claim bragging rights over the quarter mile. With two previous events staged in 2009 and 2010, under the Absolute Promotions banner, the Drag Strip being used has already been acclaimed as one of the best locations for Drag Racing, and possibly the top quarter-mile strip that is not a dedicated racing location in the West Indies.
