Success story


"Special thanks to everybody who came and supported this event on what was a lovely day. We didn't have any rain, we didn't have any accidents, we didn’t have anybody destroying any of the vehicles," Promotor Rasheed Frett said.

"I want to thank my brothers for coming all the way from the US Virgin Islands to making this show a big success even though it was a lot of stress, a lot of heartaches and a lot of work," Frett added.

The pleased promoter had a special thank you to his girlfriend who he said was a key player in the promotion but was unable to attend due to her falling ill.
