Nassau, Bahamas -- A local company is 'sitting pretty' after Bahamas Speed Week organisers signed a three-year contract for thousands of bleacher seats.

The company -- C3 Seating -- will also provide massive tent structures for the VIP Paddock Club pavilion and covering, keeping millions of dollars worth of exotic and classic race cars participating in Bahamas Speed Week November 26-December 2 safe from the elements.

According to Speed Week President Jimmie Lowe, the significant contract demonstrated Speed Week's commitment to generate revenue from the event for the local economy.

"Last year, we rented the tents and bleachers from a company abroad, not realizing that there was a local company that could provide all of the equipment we need," said Lowe.

"Once we learned of C3 Seating, the decision to keep the money at home was an easy one and they have already proved their reliability, coming out here every morning this week to do the installation right on time if not ahead of schedule." For Crispin Cleare, President and Managing Director of C3 Seating, the contract is not only financially profitable -- it demonstrates confidence in a local company.
