THE CURTAIN came down on the 2007 Foska Oats-sponsored Road Race Grand Prix Series yesterday with the awards ceremony at G.C. Foster College.
Kemoy Campbell of Bellefield and Natoya Goule of Manchester High were the toasts of the morning's activities, which saw the dishing out of $346,000 for the winners.

Goule, who for the first time in four seasons had to settle for the runners-up spot, was given $20,000 and the same amount for topping the youth section category.
