Caribbean Racing

This is the thing. We need to "small-en" the caribbean with the help of ships and airlines. We have a host of talent that goes un-noticed in the caribbean. How can we get these corporate giants to get involved in supporting sustainable development in the Motorsport Industry??

I have raced down in the Caribbean, (mostly in Trinidad) in 1988 and extensively (about 14 road races) in 2000. I can tell you from experience as an ex-pro race driver that there seems far more driver talent per capita in the islands than almost anywhere else. Don't believe me? Just check out Lewis Hamilton. His dad is from Grenada and even if he did not (and I don't know one way or the other) drive we should remember that driving talent is very much hereditary.

I strongly believe that the Caribbean community should support their world class talent a little better. It sure would not hurt tourism in the islands.

Back from Antigua

Got back from a drag race in Antigue (that's about a third of the way down the Caribbean island chain) and I can report that drag racing is alive and well in the islands. Watch out for an in-depth look at where motorsports is going in the Caribbean.
