The crowds all seemed to have overslept after Air Jamaica’s Jazz and Blues festival, as the spectator turnout was not as expected, but for those who came it they were thrilled by the track record setting pace of Douglas “Hollywood” Gore as he showed complete mastery of his Motor Sales and Service/Slam Condoms/DMS Distributors/ Rick’s Café/Walkerswood Foods /Value Buys/Amsoil Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8, achieving a 2:52 time both in the forward and reverse direction over three laps when the track was run in reverse for the championship run. Placing second overall was Gore’s Team Mobay Racing teammate Guy “Feather” Fraser in the Value Buys Subaru Impreza WRX in a time of 2.56.70 while third was John “Big John” Ralston in the Tank Weld Equipment/Advance Auto Parts Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6, posting a best time of 2.57.24.Dave Lee in his Mitsubishi Lancer
evolution III better known as the Bush Tiger got the better of Junior
Barnes in the West Med Pharmaceuticals/Mekyah Spring Water Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution V, posting a best time of 2.59.39 to Barnes 3.01.78. Dean “Duct Tape” Corrodus
enjoyed his day so much that he decided to post the fastest front
wheel drive time of the day as well as romping to the class win of
the JA3 class, with a best time of 3.08.15 in his Brothers Motors/Performance
Centre/Mr. A/C / Straight Edge Construction Mitsubishi Mirage RS.

Mirage RS sponsored by West Med Pharmaceuticals /Mekyah Spring Water,
while Keith Saunders was third in class in his Chevrolet Chevette
sponsored by Manhattan House, Matilda’s Corner Wrecking and Parade
Fashions. The JA2 class was the forte
of James “Doc” March in the Team Mobay Racing Toyota Corolla FX20,
posting a 3.12.01 to put Maurice Whittingham Jr. in the Racing Skill
prepared Toyota Starlet in second (3.16.52) and Christopher “Teach”
