The Jamaica Millennium Motoring Club (JMMC) with support from KFC, Tru Juice, Rum Bar and The Automotive Performance Centre Ltd. held its first championship points scoring event of the 2011 season when it staged Dexterity #1 at the Badda Badda Raceway in Richmond, Priory, St. Ann on Sunday, February 6, 2011. Early morning showers threatened to dampen the spirits of the organizers who had already been forced to postpone the event from its original January 16 scheduled date, when extensive flood damage made the venue unusable, but by 9 a.m., the sun broke through the clouds and quickly dried up the surface moisture, leaving the track dry and tractable for the competitors who were in attendance.

Spot Valley Inc started the year with a bang, as the first event of the year was held on Sunday, January 30, 2010. A total of six events are expected to be held in the first half of the year, while negotiations are taking place to run additional events after June 2011. This means that Spot Valley will be host to an event each of the first six months of this year. That’s more than any motor sport fanatic can ask for. Come race day, the mix of machinery was fantastic: the number of 4-wheel drive competitors was encouraging, rear wheel drive excitement was present and there was a battle royal among the front wheel drive competitors.
