Paul out for second win in drag race

JAKARTA (JP): Canadian Robert J. Paul is seeking another
victory on Sunday in the third leg of a drag race at Sentul
Circuit near Bogor.

"I just can't wait to win again and I will give my best
performance at the race," Paul said on Wednesday.

Paul, a consultant at an oil company based in Jakarta, will
compete for the Star Mild team. He will drive the Holden Torana
which he also used in the other two races held in February and
April this year.

Paul recorded 40 points after winning the two drag races. He
is on the same team with Harry Agung and Wie Wie Rianto. Harry is
in second place with 30 points and Wie Wie in third with 24.

Harry and Wie Wie are Paul's biggest rivals. But Budi Sapto,
one of the 13 racers competing in the free for all category, said
at a media conference on Tuesday that he aims to break Paul's
domination.

"I know it is difficult to beat Paul but I will try to do it.
First off, I will have to outwit Harry and Wie Wie," Budi, who
has collected one point from the two drag races, said.

The third leg of the race will feature five categories: the
free for all, 1000cc to 2000cc cars, jeeps, volkswagens and
motorcycles.

The races are sponsored by tobacco company Gudang Garam. The
winners of the five categories will receive cash prizes and
trophies.

Interested parties are still welcome to register at Sentul
Circuit or at Rally Tama on Jl. Barito I No. 7, South Jakarta.
