The British Virgin Islands' remote-control drag racing team has achieved a podium finish at a Caribbean competition in Antigua and Barbuda. On October 31, 2026, the team competed against racers from several islands at the Northsound International Raceway. Ivan B. Smith, also known as 'Junie', was the team's top performer, finishing third overall and posting the fastest elapsed time of 1.2079 seconds. This time was the second-quickest RC drag racing time recorded in Antigua. The team's success reflects the growing skill and enthusiasm for the sport in the BVI.
The team intends to continue competing in regional events, representing the Virgin Islands in the growing RC drag racing circuit.
The competition was staged by RC Nation 268 and promoted regional camaraderie among participants.
