          Highlights:
          • Killer and Joel were part of Class B (experienced racers, in my opinion).
          • Killer won the first place for the second time!
          • Joel was tipped of the track at c1 by the rider behind him. Eventually, Joel finished 5th.
          • Thanks to the rain, the final of the Class C (amatures) was a wet race. There were quite a few falls.
          • c8 was "corner of the day" with at least 5 bikes going off-track for each race.
          • No one knows what the Jap guy on the MT01 was doing on the track. He was racing a 1670cc monster against 150cc bikes! I noticed most of the R15 racers slowing down (out of scare) to give him way.
          • We had a wonderful time watching the races seated on a two-storyed watch-tower near c9.
          • xBhp shutterbugs of the day - sksy and kriss. Now you guys know whom should you look up to for some awesome pictures.
          • Except for the mighty R1, Yamaha had all of its bikes at display.
          Fun:
          • The h'bad guys had a wonderful 22-hour bus journey to reach the track.
          • There was a special R15 from H'bad with Tiger's skin (similar) seat cover! And he was seen taking the practice laps at incredible speeds of 40-50kmph! No, not more than 50. He did not take part in the race. Looks like he had come from H'bad to check the mileage of his R15 on a race track. Great!
          • We had a Valentino Rossi too on an R15! His body movement on the track and concentration was just like rossi's except that he wasn't crossing 60kmph. The best part, he was leaning even on a straight line!
          • There were a few racers who were checking their mileage on the track. All of us had the same question for them - mileage kya hai boss?"

          Have fun, all!
          Excellent summing up of the events Kiran.. Yeah it was good meeting xBhp guys from all over the southern states.

          PS: Where's Kriss? Another 22 hour journey back to Hyderabad??

          Yeah it's a good thing you slept through half of the drive on our way back!

          Good thing there are few women xBhp members, because I know what Santa's going to say

              • It was quite a nice turnout of xbhpians yesterday at MMS Track and it was fun meeting all the people and pinning faces to names.

                The morning practice session got me a few nice pics, but sadly we missed the main race due to some misunderstanding (miscommunication?) of schedule. Killer was at his usual best taking the tracks with ease. Joel too seemed to be doing good, but things dint quite workout for him yesterday.

                The jap rider on the MT-01 was wreaking havoc on the poor R-15 riders with its loud thrum. It was like a wild bison running amok amongst calves. I think I've got some good shots that can be posted here. But that would have to wait as I have the card at home. Maybe I'll put up a few pics tomorrow.

                PS: Thanks to rossiter for the transport service provided :P

                            • I feel like a total bum now!, seems like i missed another great G2G slip through my hands, the irony being the fact that i started it in the first place!, missed some important people that i wanted to see (Joel, Killer, Rossiter, SkSy) Can somebody kick me now??

                              But it's nice to see you guys all had a great time, as my friend narrated all this incident to me i can't help but feel satisfied, waiting eagerly for the pictures
                              I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

                                No fair though bro. You started off everything and cancelled coming during the last minute. It was good fun.
                                Well, no problem. Make sure that you're there atleast for the next g2g.
