BMSA thrilled with success of Festival Car Show
It rained during the exhibition but this failed to dampen the spirits of those determined to make the show a success.
“In spite of the not so pleasing weather, BMSA in collaboration with TWS (Together We Stand) managed to pull off their regularly scheduled show, which is held on a yearly basis and is also a part of the festival line-up,” Public Relations Officer of the Association Ms Keilah Varlack told this news site.
There were SUV’s, trucks and even bikes, making a total of 18 vehicles registered. “We weren’t expecting such a good turn out as we really wanted to have the overseas cars come in to make it much more exciting”, said Mr Roy Thomas, President of the Association.
“The weather scared us a little, as we know when it rains the school grounds are not too appealing, especially for the car owners. It gets muddy and slippery. We were still surprised at how many people still came out and made the event possible. We really appreciate the public’s support,” he added.
Categories
There were 8 categories of vehicles registered.
Best ATV was won by Stephen Brown, Best Rims Size 30” won by Kadeem Farara, Best Overall went to Kiah Walters with the Dodge Charger, Best Interior was won by Charles Fonseca with the Mercedes Benz and he also won Best Engine with the “Superman” car, Lowest Drop went to Roger Francis out of St Thomas with the Dodge Ram.
There was also a sound competition with Highest SPL going to Rodney Beharry.
All winners were given a trophy, in addition to Mr Rodney Beharry and Ms Kiah Walters both receiving cash prizes of $250 each for the categories in which they dominated. The cash prize was a donation from Ms Janice Brathwaite-Edwards, the City Manager.
Entertainment for the kids was also a part of the exhibition, including bouncy castles, character costumes, face painting, dunking booth and musical chairs.
It is this success that has the team already planning to host a Soap Box Race, something that is also done on a yearly basis, in collaboration with Caribbean Insurers Ltd, between October and November.
And planning for the 2017 Easter celebration in Virgin Gorda is also progressing apace. “And we’re also going to have a local and international show for our August Festivities during that same year” said PRO Ms Keilah Varlack.
