MCINTYRE SETTLES FOR SECOND

Despite an early pullout of the Drag Wars competition by one of Grenada’s two drivers, Joshua Lewis with his Mitsubishi Evolution 4, due to mechanical problems, Grenada’s Alan McIntyre was able to secure a position in what is considered the “high powered category” with his modified V8 Ford Mustang.

himself and Trinidad’s Gary Smith in a modified V8 Mitsubishi
Gallant on Saturday, April 27, 2013. McIntyre won that race
doing a time of 10.4 secs at a speed of 130Mph, while Smith
finished with a time of 10.8 secs at a speed of 108Mph.

McIntyre placed second in the ‘9 seconds’ class following two days of high speed racing despite the inclement weather, which affected the event on both days.

On Sunday, April 28, McIntyre did a single pass and registered a time of 9.6 secs. The fastest time of the weekend, 8.9 secs, was done by a modified Nissan Silvia from Trinidad’s ‘Boost Factory’ Team.

Team Grenada returned to the island on Monday.
