With less than three months to go before the familiar cry of ‘Gentlemen, start your engines,’ is shouted, the Deputy Prime Minister today threw Government’s support behind Bahamas Speed Week and pledged to accelerate improvements to the site of the prestigious event at Arawak Cay.
Philip Davis, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Works and Urban Development, met with media, toured the site in a 1970 Jaguar XKE and revealed government’s hopes to widen roads, improve landscaping and help transform the area of West Bay Street known as Fish Fry where come late November millions of dollars of exotic cars will gather as Bahamas Speed Week 2012 gets set to take off.
“On behalf of my government, I would like to say that we fully support Bahamas Speed Week and recognise the value that Speed Week represents, creating an environment that combines the best of two worlds, attracting high net worth individuals to the island and bringing events right to the centre of Arawak Cay for the benefit of local vendors and Bahamian businesses, creating economic benefit and tremendous international exposure,” said Davis. “I look around and can see the benefits an event like this will have and see the potential for what it can mean to local business and to the country as a whole.”
Davis arrived in suit and tie, but shed his jacket when invited to ride in a 1970 cranberry red Jaguar XKE with Speed Week President Jimmie Lowe.
