Dominica? Drag Racing? Honestly, these are just two things don't seem to go together at all... Why? Because there isn't any type of facility or near possibility that will lead the way for Dominicans to be a partaker in any of these events. If a Dominican wants to be a part of these events, and be successful at it, he/she would most likely need to go overseas. However, in places like St lucia, they do have these facilities and I'm sure other caribbean countries do as well, so you'd expect them to be ahead... or so we thought. Problem with that sentiment is... they weren't ahead! Dominicans were still whooping butt in the different races! Which brings me to the conclusion that all the illegal road races paid off! Yes, I too am guilty for racing on the roads in Dominica but can you blame enthusiasts when nothing is being done to accommodate us? So I have to attribute the success of Dominica here today to illegal road races.
Here in St lucia, there were different Caribbean Islands coming to meet on the stretch/strip down in Vieux Fort, to see who had the top speeds and could hold.. a possible record or two. Friendly competitions between bikes, cars, and cars vs bikes rested on the stretch while forging relations of like-mindedness towards that thrill of personnels who came, partook and marvelled at each other in preparation for the next event. T'was a very successful event indeed and I too was very happy to be a part of it!
