    First time I went to this event (this is the second time the event was organized), And it was a good event on the whole.

    Nice to see great line up of Cars and Bikes. Especially the Drag Spec bike. Weight of the heaviest bike might not be more than 100kg , They were just engine, tires and chassis. Tires were not much fatters than those that come on TVS XL60 .

    Most of the drag spec bikes were RD350s. The stock competetion R15's felt to be slowest of all the drags.

    modded P180 beating Stock Comet easily was nice race to watch.

    There wasnt much turn out from SBKs due to the DRI effect, But still Hayabusa, ZX14 (did not participate), CBR600 (did not participate), R6, Suzuki GXR (did not participate), Aprilla RSV250 etc etc were to be seen.

    Along with the bikes, there were some gorgeous cars around, 2 Toyota Supra's, Nissan GTR, Audi TT, Bentley, Land Rover, Audi R8, Mercs (lots of them), Porsche, M3, BMW750 and many more small cars like Accord, Corolla , Sokdas, Cpativas were seen

    Highlights:

    1. Drag between R6 & Hayabusa. R6 gave tough time to Busa, may be because Busa did had good rider. R6 was give head start considering Busa's might power, Still Busa gets ahead well before R6 crossed 50mts

    2. Quarter Mile Wheelies on RX135 and Karizma (came down once).

    3. Drag race between Supra and GTR. Supra gets a head start but, just after around 50mts, Its GTR all the way.

    4. Drifting & Burnout done by the Supra.

    5. An Auto, Trucks and Dogs on the drag strip which got huge cheer from the crowd

    Here are the unedited pics from my cam (all pics are taken at full zoom, i.e. 12x)

    Waiting to drag with GTR



    Supra & GTR are returning back after the Drag, GTR wins easily without a head start.



    Its was great event, But slight mismanaged. Almost every one was able to reach till the start line with our proper security, And at the end of the races, People were also along the drag strip.


    Any how, Awaiting for many such events in hyderabad...

            How were the Indian 4-strokes doing? Any timing sheets available?
            I did not make it coz I had some conflicting assignments. There is always a next time.

                i'm not sure but the best was ~16 secs and there were very few bike's this time in the 4 stroke segment...i'm saying this cause they put a p150 against a comet..
                RED BULL did'nt give me WINGS, my BIKE did !!

                  And half the 4-strokes were illegal ones. All big-bores and stuff.
                  Feeling bad that I could not make it. I wanted to crack into the 2-stroke territory with my Fiero. Damn!

                            My horses are in good shape, its just that I was held up with some stuff. Sohail has a works p150.
                            FYI, I won the last drag with over 1.5secs lead(over the guy who finished 2nd, on a drag built 65kgs frame + 50 kilos rider) with a set-up which was just freshly assembled just 3 days before the drag and wasnt tested even once. Now my Fiero is 1.5secs faster than the last race. It would have been some serious fun, this time around.
                            Big deal man, hell with the comet.
                            I dont see a point in getting down my R15, coz it will get whopped by my own Fiero. And my Fiero is one engine of which I make all my developments and its always evolving. I havent touched it for nearly 2 months, else things would have been even better.
