Circuit Racing: The battle for Caribbean supremacy - CMRC Round 1

Jamaicans love motorsports and they love battles involving our Caribbean neighbors even more! Question - What is more rewarding or fulfilling than seeing one of our local gladiators - David 'King' Summerbell, Doug 'Hollywood' Gore or Peter 'Zoom Zoom' Rae revving their domesticated monster senseless and presenting a well-deserved loss to the hapless driver from the dot on the map - Barbados. Answer - Seeing it being done repeatedly! Fortunately the divine being, despite the recession, still answers prayers and in [...]

Where was Mekalia Mannaseh?

On May 14, 2012, 5 year old Mekalia Mannaseh disappeared from her home in Warrick Mount, Ocho Rios at approximately 3 a.m. Although she was found the next night outside her family home, it is still unclear exactly what transpired. Personally, I am very happy that the child was found, but I cannot help but wonder-Where was Mekalia? Someone must have had her. Police reports indicate that the child was discovered missing after men attempted to invade her house. However, the entire [...]

What an outrageous song and music video!

While watching the television the other night, I happened to see a music video on a local station that really just upset me.

Alonso, the local superstar was next to him. Vettel, Webber, Button and others were [...]

JUSTIN GATLIN, THE BANE OF ASAFA POWELL

On Friday, May 11, 2012 former 100-metre world record holder Asafa Powell ran his fastest season opener ever (9.88seconds) and yet Jamaicans were angry. Why? Because Powell, in running his fastest time ever over 100 metres to open a season, managed to lose a race he should have won and in so doing reminded Jamaicans as to their countryman's shortcomings over the last decade. Powell is arguably one of the most talented sprinters in history and while he has used that [...]

PRACTICE WILL MAKE PERFECT FOR SPRINT RELAY SQUADS

Jamaica �is the defending Olympic Champion in the men's sprint relay. It is also the world record holder and Olympic record holder 37.04 and 37.10 respectively. It is a commonly held belief that Jamaica will easily defend its Olympic title in London this summer and that by the end of these coming Games in London, the world record will almost be untouchable, somewhere in the region of 36.8 or 36.6 seconds, maybe even faster. Don't believe me? Well, let's look back [...]
