I saw Rishi saying on facebook that Sheldon held him back. What does he mean by that? I was told that Sheldon built and tuned all of Rishi's race cars. I was also told that Sheldon never charged him a cent. All of Sheldon's time and effort was for the love and passion of the sport. Another thing Rishi said on facebook was that he went after Sheldon's international record. Seriously?
Here is the post from facebook
I did some research and found Sheldon's accomplishments. I never knew that one racer in one lifetime could accomplish so much and to know its a trini makes me proud. People keep asking me how one guy from T&T can come to the US and win so many races and set so many records. Sheldon Bissessar's name is very well known in the US racing community.
Which one of these records did the Rishi guy break?
Here's what I found so far Sheldon Bissessar received the ' Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Americas Award' for outstanding performance in Drag Racing (2012)

I also heard that Sheldon ran the first 9,8,7,6 and 5 sec. passes and that he's preparing for a 3 second class.
I have never seen Sheldon stating in his accomplishments that he was the 'fastest trini'.
