Sirjee National Language hai..Not that am too proud of it btw its good to see your post on this forum after our last panvel meet.

@all :Torquenite's been postponed to 14-15 march. just confirmed.Seems anirudh and guys can accomplish both things.

oh ok..!! so lets wait till then.. i guess lot of time to wait..! huh.!

its a loooooooonnnnnggg wait for this event now. i am thinking of taking part now but seriously guys, i am surprised that no one from xbhp is taking part in this. all year long all we do is crib about no tracks or events or motorsports happening and then there is this event which happens once in a year in which we can take part and all we are content to do is watch from the sidelines. I for one would like to change that and want you, xbhpians to participate in this. You can take part in this for 1500 Rs whcih frankly is what we spend on petrol on weekend rides (maybe more than one ) and all you have to do is show up and race your bikes against yourself and others. You dont have to modify your bikes for this. you dont have to spend on anything else. plus you get bragging rights for the rest of the year from the participation stickers posted on your bikes. i took part last year and i had a sticker stuck on the rear fender of my bike and guys would think twice before having traffic light drags with me (not that i would drag on road, but still) and all those guys coming up to you on signals asking you about the race and etc etc. now that i have sold off my karizma and got a new blue p200 i wont be racing that. But i am trying to arrange for a bike to race as i have some karizma weight reduction mods with me. All i did when i participated was strip my bike. You can improve your reaction times in this and see where you actually stand when it comes to accelerating your bike in a straight road which most of us, including me, claim to have perfected is put to the test. I didnt win last year. I wasnt even close, i was 10th in my category but atleast i participated and learnt something from that wonderful experience and i had a great time with my friends and family who had come to support and cheer me. They had a blast too. All i want to say is take part, you may not win but it isnt all about winning. Participating goes a long way and if you want to win, participation is the first step. There is also a wheelie category for all you stunters out there. The winner is the one who can wheelie his bike the fastest over 200 meters on the track. Take Part !

P.S: When you participate you get a pit pass + one for your friend which gives you access to all the bikes and the action in the pit. And you get free Red Bull !!

P.P.S: I am not in any way related to the promoter of this event.

hey that was a nice inspiration must say dude..!! atleast I was encouraged.. lets c, if i make up myself to participate in this.. but i never been participated, nor even witnessed any races.. ! so not sure about it lets c.. coz street is different & tracks are different.. but yeah I can rip my bike for sure.! wont know where would i stand when I have rivals on the circuit.. ! lets c..! I may get in.. never knw.!

I thought the Fee was 2500 ??

Hey Joel,

Need some tips how to extract max out of our R15 stock engine, while drags, should we keep intial at 3,000 RPM at boil when we are about to shoot to get a proper roll on, and change gears every 9K RPM with depressing for quarter clutch technic or clutch less shift upwards...

I don't know how much of that is advisable-----awaiting for valueable suggestion

I might take part with few RX guys from our grp

is this race only for people who have the license to race..
please put some info on this experts who have knowledge on this official racing stuff.!
any inputs will be really helpful..!
wht it takes to acquire this license & from where.. any other info on this will be just great..!

You need a racing license to compete in this event. It can be obtained from FMSCI the racing authority for 2 wheelers in India. The link is posted below. Just complete the form and send it to them and your license will be sent to your address.

@ Joel - Do we need a full license or a one event license will do for this?? And pls answer the shifting query for drags. Clutchless or partial clutch with throttle open??

Single event license will do.
Launch the bike around the torque peak mark atleast. Incase of the r15, its 6500rpm.
No clutchless shifts. Partial clutch.

thanks a lot Joel. Hope that i can win with these pointers or atleast post a good timing. where can i get the one event insurance policy??
partial clutch shifts with throttle engaged??

@ joel dude what are the mods which i can do to enter the drag?? i got a 180 ug3

i was considering,
200 block piston(optional)
dabba can(budget issue)
sprocket if in 1-2000 bucks..
upjet to an avenger ...
thinner rx-100 rear wheel(wonder if i have to modify the swingarm)
plz drop in some tips man... thanks a lot yaar.

stick to all the regulations laid out by FMSCI. You can visit their website for the SRs. www.fmsci.in
All the CC and modification rules are right there.

sI have some exciting news. According to the FMSCI events calender, Speed Run 2009 is going to take place at the end of this month i have called up their office and talked to Noel who is in chare of organising this event and he said that they had some sponsorship issues before but now they have sorted it out and it will be at the end of this month. Hopefully this ends my and other participants dilemma about participating in Torquenite.
