DRAG RACING MARCH 2,2008 |
Jamwest Speed Way Motor Event. A huge turn out of spectators but not the same in drag racing cars. Bike stunts present most of the excitement for the event as problems with the starter and/or the equipment caused long delays. Local bike groups showcased Jamaica's "stunting" before the International bikers.

DEXTERITY CHAMPIONSHIP #!, FEBRUARY 10, 2008 |
Dexterity Championship Meet #1, 'Wet & Slide', was held at Palisadoes Go-Kart Track Parking Lot on February 10th. A "simple looking" course proved to be difficult for most competitors to manoeuvre, the experience drivers, however, made easy of the day's event. A Good first Meet!

Mere mortals were allowed a glimpse of this beauty at the Evolution X January 17th release at Motor Sales. The envy of the event, the man who can call this piece of machine his own, is none other than veteran rally racer and Caribbean Rally Champion- Doug "Hollywood" Gore.

JMMC RALLY 2007 |
The JMMC Rally 2007 got on the way at the National Stadium Car Park December 7th at 3:00pm. A first time stage, National Stadium was a good stage for promotion and the spectators, short but spicy. From our small trip to the Lydford Mines we saw a good day of driving and lost a few competitors on this stage. Next was the Tru Juice Bybrook Stage, with the popular water splash, Automods missed the water splash stage as the stages were run different from last year. JMMC Rally 2007 last stage the most attended stage New Kingston. With the largest turn out of spectators for this stage, they came to see a show but with most of the top drivers still competing for top honours the regular show was with less performers but good enough none the less. JMMC Rally 2007 a great show...

NDRC DRAG RACING, SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 VERNAM FIELD |
The qualifying the damn qualifying enough is enough damn it. At 3:00 pm there was cars still to be qualified in God's name what is that. Ok there was a few hype moments when the big dragsters came up for qualifying but of course we did not see the races. As qualifying was done the rain came and that was it for us and the camera equipment.

REACTION CAR SHOW JULY 15, 07. MANDEVILLE |
The second edition of the Reaction Car show held in Mandeville. We expected a better display of modified cars but as per usual Jamaicans seem to be apprehensive in putting their cars on display because we all know they are some good cars here. It was an ok car show, with few to mention. It was a proper organized event.
