Drag Racing: NDRC machines land at Vernamfield this Sunday!
The jury is still deliberating, re events which raced at Jamwest Speedway, Westmoreland, last Sunday. The overseas machines were here and motivated by their mega-horsepower motors, they must have had a feeling of supreme confidence about their prospects along the 1320ft at Jamwest. But, Boys Scouts worldwide have a brief saying - Be prepared! The debate relating to where the finger(s) should be pointed will continue until we hear the fireworks ringing in the new year!

Rally: Rally Jamaica 2013 - Meet and Greet in New Kingston
Rally Jamaica 2013 had its ceremonial start session on Knutsford Blvd, Friday night (29th). The rally faithful and the curious came out.
