Curacao International Raceway Rondeklip, Curacao 25th April 2025: The first race day started during the Caribbean Pinks All-Out weekend for the Categories Pro Crazy 7, Import FWD vs. Import RWD, SuperGas, and Junior Dragster for cars. For bikes, Sportsman Bike and Crazy ShootOut were the first categories of the weekend. The first qualification started in the afternoon, and the Caribbean gods kept the weather nice and dry. Most categories got two qualifying rounds before elimination, except the Sportsman bike. Not all elimination runs planned on the first day were run due to several oil-downs and small debris on the track. Around 02:00 local time, the race master and event organizer put the track on hold and pushed the remaining race to Saturday.
