Nassau, Bahamas -- As the huge tents and mile-long security fencing erected for Bahamas Speed Week Revival were being dismantled, the Arawak Cay Vendors' Association thanked organizers and government agencies for "elevating the area known as the Fish Fry to a whole new level."

"Arawak Cay looks amazing," said Bruno Minnis, president of the Arawak Cay Vendors' Association. "We want to officially thank the organizers of Bahamas Speed Week for bringing such a prestigious event as Bahamas Speed Week to Arawak Cay and for all the support they have given vendors over the four-month period leading up to the main events, involving vendors at every step of the way."

The comments came in part in response to a vendor who complained that the staging of Speed Week on the cay hurt his business and came as a surprise to him.  "We could not believe what we were reading when we saw that in the paper," said Bruno Minnis. "Every vendor was invited to every meeting and I believe, if I'm not mistaken, there were more than 15 of them. Even the meetings brought business to the vendors because they were all held on Arawak Cay."
