There were several other prizes won by others who participated in the competition that saw a large turnout of patrons.

Success story

"Special thanks to everybody who came and supported this event on what was a lovely day. We didn't have any rain, we didn't have any accidents, we didn’t have anybody destroying any of the vehicles," Promotor Rasheed Frett said.

"I want to thank my brothers for coming all the way from the US Virgin Islands to making this show a big success even though it was a lot of stress, a lot of heartaches and a lot of work," Frett added.

The pleased promoter had a special thank you to his girlfriend who he said was a key player in the promotion but was unable to attend due to her falling ill.

    Shame on the promoters but bigger shame on the sponsors. Why are the Government scard of postponing all events?? Everyone knows someone who’s in isolation because of Covid. Yet they still allowed those people to host events? I saw 30 seconds of the car show yesterday and i could only say is hmmmm! Then the ghetto minded people will be posting saying; It’s just flu season; Party must go on blablabla. We need to start issuing fines and setting examples.
