As per tradition, Jacky Circuit organizes a car and bike show at the Island’s local track before the race. The spectators can admire the cars closely, meet the drivers, and glimpse what’s coming. It is also an excellent opportunity for the teams to sell their merchandise. One team present was the Techi Racing team, which will compete with two cars this weekend: the Plymouth Valiant and the Dodge Dart. Another car at the car show was Trimon Randall’s (Adai Racing) 1978 Toyota 1000.

One of the eye-catchers was the Nissan 280ZX from Jaider Ruzo, from our sister Island, Aruba. Another competitor from Aruba, the Bumble Bee Chevrolet Corvette, driven by Robby Koolman Jr., was present at the car show.

The categories active this coming week will be Extreme Import, Pro Crazy 7, Super Gas, Import FWD vs Import RWD, ET Bracket, Krioyo Bracket, Front wheel drive, and Junior Dragsters for the cars. The bike classes will be Sportsman Bike, Crazy Shootout, Quick 32 Bike, Crazy 8, Bike Outlaw, and 1000 Shootout.
