STEFAN Chin who set a new lap time in the motor cycle clocking 1 minute 22.80 erasing Guyanese Kevin Graham’s time of 1 minute 22.93 last Saturday, upped his performance on Sunday winning two of the cycle races.

“It’s a rewarding experience breaking the track record I feel pretty good; I was within a second of breaking the record again, but I have Barbados to go and my bike has to leave this weekend,” Chin told Auto. “I don’t want anything to happen so I took it easy,”

With the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) second leg in Barbados at the end of August, Chin chose not to take any chances with the bike during the race meet, and rode comfortably to victory in two of the Motorcycle A (MCA) races. Chin did not compete in the third MCA race as the bike suffered a broken rev cable that could not have been fixed in time.

With the three top riders, Halquin Rodney, Stefan Chin and Adrian Blake in a tight race for the MCA Championship, with 37, 35 and 32 points respectively, Chin knows the October Dover race meet will be very competitive.

“It’s all going to come down to October, the Championship is very close and October will be the deciding race meet” he said.

“I have been away for a while and I started riding at Dover in 2000 and this is my twelfth season riding here. I have a good start and I look forward to doing well,” he remarked after his first race Sunday.

But while Chin enjoyed his moments of success, Team Badda Badda was plagued with tire problems the entire race meet. Sporting severely shredded tires on both money bikes, Halquin “Pugu” Rodney and Randy Dyer had a rough day of racing. Although leading the MCA class, Halquin, appealed for help with tires.

“I’m just going out there to have fun and compete just the same, although I have no tires. Replacing them is very expensive so I would like some help with that but I’m just riding on what I have” said Rodney.

Dyer, second in the Motorcycle B points standing did not have an easy race day as he too struggled with worn tires. His crash on the first lap of the race left his bike further damaged.

“The race meet was not a good meet for Badda Badda …we went out there and did our best just the same,” Dyer told Auto.
