The event formed part of Glassesco John “Tiny” Harrison Memorial Race Meet organised by Bushy Park Motor Sport Inc. (BPMSI).

It began at qualifying on Saturday when Kevin Griffith, in a turbocharged Suzuki Swift GTi posted a new mark of 8.147 seconds for front wheel drive cars.

Jimmy Small also lowered Suleiman “Sol” Esuf’s four-wheel drive record of 6.288 at Launch Control 1 to 6.282 seconds at the wheel of the Robert Bishop-prepared Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII. (TT)
