The Fast and the Furious: Nassau Drift


By Chakara Bennett, Guardian Summer Intern

Calling all Skylines, calling all race cars, The Fast and the Furious has hit Nassau. The third Annual Island Tunerz Summer Nationalz will hit the streets, Aug. 10-12.

It will not only be weekend for owners to show off their "tricked out" rides but also to legally race and finally find out who's the best driver in Nassau's street racing world.

The weekend will rev up on the initial Friday night with sinful racing under a cloak of darkness, at the Motor Sports Track in the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre.

The following Saturday is designated to the grand Auto Show which is open to anyone who wants to showcase his car and browse others to view other flaming vehicles.

But for the real action, you have to be there on Sunday for the "Race Day" in which all participants can race against other cars in their designated class. This weekend is open to all people interested in the racing world no matter your age, sex or race.

This weekend is expected to be hot, and racing enthusiasts had better not miss it.

And of course, Bahamians love to eat, so there will be booths set up with food, drinks and the hottest products on the market.

This year's drifting weekend is powered by Pepsi Bahamas Ltd., The Paint Depot, Tunerz Auto Salon, The Bacardi Company and Head's Up! Network Ltd.

Some of the top companies that were in attendance last year that are likely to be back this year are, RMS Motorsports, Flying Low Audio, Red Bull, Installer Institute of Daytona, FL., and Jukebox.
